• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

iMovie issue

I have 2 MacBooks and an iPad, but the issues are only on the <1 year old MacBook. I am using Sierra 10.12.6 and iMovie 10.1.6.

When I open iMovie theater, only a few of the movies show a thumbnail picture (first frame). If I click on any of them the movie will eventually open, but it takes a couple of minutes, which was never the case with this new MacBook with a SSD. The movies without a thumbnail picture will open, but they also take a long time. So the issues, which have only recently started and there have been no changes to the computer, are that iMovie is the only time I get the spinning wheel, movies take minutes to open-even short ones, and thumbnails don't appear on many of the movies. I have considered deleting the iMovie library thinking it would reload from iCloud, but I can't seem to verify that would work. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
