Im running iMac 10.4.11 using an updated iLife 08 with iMovie. When i imported video clips into my movie (i've made movies before, no prob) it now will not play the video - only audio.

The video clip will not show in the iMovie preview window but the sound is there. I have researched this problem thouroughly before posting this thread and have tried the following (all obviously unsuccessful):

1) Trash plist files & iMovie components
2) Re-installed / Upgraded Quick Time
3) Archive Re-install original dvd Mac discs & Upgraded all software
4) Updated iMovie

(At one point after the re-install it highlighted the clips in question with an exclamation mark) :confused:

Note: When i moved the videos in question to my Video file in Finder, they play FINE! They will not drag or import into iMovie and slowly i go insane over this.

I have three weeks until this video project is due and i am dangerously close to a nervous breakdown!!!

All ideas all more than welcome, thanks in advance..
