iMovie requires Quartz Extreme to render video and effects. Various problems may occur depending on which version of Mac OS X and iMovie is being used on which Mac model.

A common problem is that the number of colours available to Quartz Extreme has been set to some figure less than Millions (often by a game that has not restored the original setting). This can be corrected in the Displays section of System Preferences by changing the settings and then restoring the original settings and then restarting the computer.
