Audio Keeps Repeating and Skipping in iMovie

I need some help with iMovie. You see, I'm trying to edit a video in reverse, which is simple enough, you just got to press the reverse button and then, bam, your video's in reverse. The problem that I'm having is that when I reverse the video, the audio doesn't really reverse perfectly, and it kind of repeats and skips every couple of seconds; like it'll repeat the same exact audio, and the video ends up being out of sync as a result. I don't know if it's because the video I'm editing in reverse is in 1080p60, and my laptop cannot handle reversing a video that's in 60fps because it has 8GB of memory and is an Intel Macbook.


But, I've edited other videos that were 1080p60 before this, and I did not have this issue. So, I'm not sure if this is become of the new version of iMovie or what because the last 1080p60 video I reversed was before the update. I would like to know what's wrong, and what I can do to fix it, so that I can reverse this video with the audio perfectly reversed as it was when it was forward, and in-sync with the video.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 11.4

Greetings jedithescifidragon!


From your post we see you are having some trouble with iMovie audio when reversing a video. We want to help look into this issue and find a solution! To start, let's try to isolate what could cause this behavior. Does this issue occur on any other videos you can test with lower quality/frame rate? Do any other edits on that project cause audio issues or only reversing it?


Have a great rest of your day!

Well, I edited other videos that were of lower frame rates and even lower quality after I tried this one, and I've edited videos that were of a similar frame rate, and I never had this problem. It's the first time I've had this issue where the audio doesn't reverse properly, and it just repeats and skips every few seconds. I could try testing out another video that's 1080p60 to see if it does the same thing. If all else fails, I found a program online that might be able to reduce the frame rate to 30 or 24 fps.
