Cannot change transitions in iMovie on the iPhone 13 Pro

Using the magic movie template, I added all my clips, but I can't change the transitions.

Nothing happens when I click on them.

According to the iMovie user guide, you can 'completely customize your movie' using a Magic Movie Project. I noticed that Apple does not address this issue when asked by other people.

It just kind of gets ignored.

Usually, when a company does not address an issue, the reason is that it's a bug with the software - not working as designed, at least based on the documentation.

So if you want to control the clip transitions, then redo your movie using the normal movie project and the transitions will work there.


On behalf of Apple, I apologize to all the people who wasted hours messing around trying to figure out transitions in Magic Movie project, because your time is valuable.


Cheers

It would be better if you can please re-post with a screenshot with 'completely customize your movie' , in order to understand the phenomenon better. Images/pictures speak louder than words.
