iMovie viewer shows black

[aldorande]

Hello, since I have upgraded to 10.11+, viewer does not display any pictures anymore. I have imported pictures into the Project pane and arranged them. Those are pictures imported from Finders or Photos app.

While playing, screen stays completely black!
Old movie clips are playing fine.

Hi,

which version of iMovie ?

 

[aldorande]

it is iMovie 09 (8.0.6).
I will try to remove the plist?

 

[Bruno09]

Nope.

It's time to upgrade to iMovie 10....

With iMovie 8 you will always get the black window.

upgrading to latest iMovie version via App Store has fixed it; thanks
