That feature was announced today for the next version of iMovie and iLife which will be on sale later this month. Sorry.

To use the Precision Editor in iMovie 08:

1) It is context sensitive, so you must have started a project, and you must have dragged one or more clips into the project.
2) Click on one of the clips in the project to select it. Now right-click (or control-click) on the clip, and select "Trim...".
3) The Precision Editor will pop up. You can make your edit, and then click "Done".

For step 2, you can also use Edit/Trim... from the menu. Alternatively, you can hold down the command key and press R
