iMovie freeze

Hi, GianniH,

Your converted blur vid works. So try again converting your non-blurred original video, but just don't add the blur. In other words, re-render the codecs. Then import into iMovie and see if it plays when overlayed onto your blurred video.

Also, it could be that the freeze issue is caused by an iMovie preference gone awry. Try deleting/resetting preferences. To do that 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 library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects. Now see if the freezing issue is cured. 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.

The conversion codecs that you list for your blur conversion are fine for iMovie, as indicated by the fact that they are working to play the blur video.
