imovie

If you put a black background, or any video clip, in the upper timeline you should be able to stack audio clips like this:

Are you saying that you can no longer do the above?

Again, it would help if you could post a screen shot.

Hi, smellymelly1977,

When iMovie suddenly starts acting unexpectly it often is because a preference went wrong. Try deleting/resetting preferences and see if that cures the problem.

To delete/reset preferences, open iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new blank library. Return to your old library to get back to your projects. Deleting preferences is a safe procedure and will not cause any loss of data or disruption to your projects. After deleting preferences, shut down and reboot. Then open iMovie and see if your issue is resolved.

If no success, it would help if you could post a screen shot of what you are seeing in your project screen timeline.

Yes. Instead of the black background put in your photo and adjust its duration to whatever length you need. Then you can stack the audio clips underneath.

You are very welcome. 😊
