IOS iMovie suddenly glitchy

Since the update, it’s a crapshoot with loaded dice whether I can get my project saved to my photos.

-one success

-one saved with no sound

-one saved without music

-one saved with one clip frozen with no sound

-umpteen “unable to export Project” messages

-now it either freezes during editing, or goes black, or says “clip must be downloaded from icloud(I don’t use iCloud)


I have saved the project. I don’t really want to delete the app and start again.i have a feeling this won’t help. I managed to send the project to a newer iPad - hoping it will los the project. I had to update it so I won’t know yet.


are there any quick and dirty fixes for this? and yes, I have enough space.


if not, after 7 years of success with it…I guess I’ll have to use something else.

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 16
