Using iMovie 10.4.1
I have almost finished editing a video. I shut the project down and came back to it later only to find almost every clip in timeline is red.
I have tried restarting, option/command start and nothing seems to bring the clips back. They are showing in media for the project. Any help very welcome.
MacBook Pro M1 2020 - 14.2.1 (23C71)
iMac 27″
I solved the problem. It turns out the library had corrupted the video somehow, the links between the timeline and media had been broken.
To fix it I first tried adding all the clips to another video - I.e starting again. I noticed this started to add video back into the original ‘broken’ iMovie project timeline. Importing this media was taking ages though, and I think it’s because the library was damaged.
To solve I created a new library - imported the files to a new video - created a totally separate video and copied the entire timeline from the broken video to it.
This restored the video with everything intact. Hope this helps someone someday. Happy editing.
In the library I have a couple of odd looking events I don't see in other videos that still work, original video works.
The two clips that still work will show when i click - reveal in project media. It looks like the others won't. Is there a way to solve this please?
iMovie media turned red on edited video
