i movie showing question mark on clips transferred to time line.
- I movie shows question mark when clip is transferred to time line. The clip is there to begin with, then shows the question mark. Annoying as new computer
iMac 24″, macOS 14.7

Hi,
For clarification, from where are you importing the clips into the timeline? Do the clips show and play properly from the media browser pane?
In any event, try deleting preferences and see if that cures it. To delete preferences open iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and select to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new empty library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects. (To reopen your old library close iMovie and go to your Movie folder or wherever you have your old iMovie library stored. Double click on the library’s icon. iMovie will open in that library.) Possibly you may need to reboot to set the changes. Deleting preferences is a safe procedure that will not cause data loss or disruption to your project.
If still no luck, you could also try booting up in Safe Mode and, after everything loads, immediately shut down and reboot in normal mode. Then see if iMovie works properly.
