How to separate voiceover from still image imovie

When you add an audio clip, or voiceover, it will be connected by a little attachment handle to the photo above it. When you delete the photo that will also delete the audio beneath it.

To change this, put your cursor on the audio clip and, while pressing down, pull it straight down into the audio well that is below the main audio well. That will pull off the attachment handle from the photo above. Then you can delete or replace the photo without deleting the audio.

I'm not entirely sure, but you might be able to put the voice memo into a playlist in iTunes and burn it to a CD. That should create an audio file independent of iTunes that you could import into iMovie.

Another way would be to put a black (or any color) background into a new iMOvie project, then add your audio, and share it out as an audio-video file. That creates an independent standalone audio-video. You could play it without opening iTunes. Sharing it out as an audio only file seems not to work, as playing the file opens iTunes.
