iMovie not working on iPhone

Regardless of how many photos are loaded in iMovie, only one is running. They do not dissolve, fade, slide or wipe etc either. Photos and iMovie have full access permissions. I have tried re-setting privacy and location as suggested by some. It’s not working.

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18

Hi,


It is a bug that Apple will need to address. Meanwhile, the workaround is to insert a video anywhere in the timeline. That will unlock the timeline so your photos play. After editing, you can delete the video and export the movie.
