iMovie app not working after iOS 18.2 update

Same! When I scroll through movie, Ken Burns effects visible. When I play movie, pictures are frozen.

I have the same problem with iMovie on my iPad. The 18.2 update basically renders iMovie unusable.

I've deleted and reloaded the app - no luck.

My projects are only playable if I download them to files., where they play but I can't do any edits.

Creating a new project doesn't work either.

contacted Apple. They have no solution and don't care.

Added a video, solved the playback problem but kinda messes up the movie.

I'll be sure to have a video in my next project. This seems like a bug that Apple could/should fix.

Thanks for telling me about the fix!

I have this problem too, I figured out it seems to be happening in projects that have only photos. If I add at least one short video clip, playback is fixed. Hope that helps!
