Long story but bottom line is iMovie worked before updating to iOS 18.2 Now it freezes even after today’s release of a new version of iMovie that is supposed to be addressing the issue.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18
I had no problems with the “Needed permissions” part. The iMovie app is not freezing its any of the project I create or edit that freeze. It will the photo that is currently being displayed in the timeline and nothing else. No movie.
i have this problem too. noticed when i export it plays fine though, and only seems to happen when the project has only photos (with videos no problem).
I’ve been in contact with apple support. They are aware of the issue but a fix will probably not come until next release of iOS 18. The adding of short “video” to the project does work.
Hi RER1, where or when are you seeing that the app freezes? Are you stuck at the "Needed Permissions" screen, or were you able to get past that and into the app?
What a weird error and workaround, but it works! Thanks!!
