Add Freeze Frame is Greyed out in iMovie 10

I could not figure this out. But then I finally did: the clip is not a movie clip, but a still image (jpg) and you can only make a freeze frame from a movie clip! Hope this helps someone else out.

MacBook Pro (2020 and later)

Problems with video clips not working in IMovie 10.3.3 Since I upgraded to IMovie10.3.3, when I drag certain video clips (from my media) into a movie project, the video is frozen like a still picture with a red bar along the bottom. I need those clips work in my projects! Some clips can be dragged down and work fine. Others, like the ones I need, don't work. This + thing is a joke too! When I click on the + to insert any video clip, a message says Missing File. ???? They are in my library. Bring back the old iMovie! Never had issues like this!

iMovie not showing picture from any clip in the timeline. My movie or any clip in the timeline is not showing when I try to play. Makes editing somewhat tricky if not impossible. iMac27, Big Sur, iMovie 10.2.5. Thanks.

iMovie stuck in 720p iMovie won't let me edit or share in anything greater that 720p. I have tried opening a new library, deleting and re-installing iMovie and importing a 4k seed clip as per previous discussions found here but not luck. From the moment I create a new movie and click on settings, the format is stuck in 720p. Aghhhh! Any help would be appreciated.
