iMovie doesn't play video on my iPad mini

So whenever i play a video i made with imovie it only shows the first photo or the one i selected. I looked up what to do but it said I didn’t add the photos properly or i need to update my device. But i did it all right and im up to date with all the updates. (Im on a ipad mini 18) can someone help? I don’t want to delete it….please

Hi,


The freezing issue is a bug that Apple will need to address. I understand that it is working on it.


Meanwhile, as a workaround, add a short video to the timeline. That will unlock it. After doing your editing, delete the video and export out.
