Hi Stephen, Do you have any showing the yellow triangle with exclamation mark? The "yellow caution badge" indicates that iMovie can't locate the clip, whether it be video or audio. The "badge" is in the shape of a yellow triangle enclosing an exclamation mark. If you delete a bad yellow triangle file the rest will then play correctly.
One tip that may help is to delete iMovie's preference file. That file can become corrupted under certain circumstances, such as when iMovie quits unexpectedly or is Force Quit. The file is located in your User (Home) folder Library/Preferences and, for iMovie '11, is named "com.apple.iMovieApp.plist". Close iMovie, then drag the .plist file to the Trash. When opened, iMovie will create a fresh .plist file with the default settings, which you can change if desired in iMovie's menu item iMovie>Preferences. Deleting the file will not harm your existing Events or Projects, but may fix iMovie's abnormal behaviour.
