Can't see Clip Names in iMovie 10.2.5

Every editor I've ever used I can see individual clip names. I haven't used iMovie for years and now with Big Sur OS 11.5.1 I want to start using iMovie again.

Got all my clips in the media section (upper left) but I have no way of knowing which clip is which.

I dragged a couple of clips o the timeline but still can't identify what clip it is. How can I see the clip names?

I noticed a couple of answers from years ago but those don't work for me. there's got to be a way.

Thanks

Click on View/Skimmer Info.

Then when you move the cursor over the clip in the media browser and the file name will appear.

In the timeline, click on the "i" button in the toolbar at the top right of your screen. Then when you click on a clip in the timeline the file name will be displayed just above the Preview screen.
