Hi,
How can I rejoin clips that were originally split from the same clip?
I can't do Control-Z to undo, because it's too far back.
Thanks,

If you are referring to a through edit, where there is an edit in a clip that essentially is a split point in continuous material, then select the edit point by clicking on it and then go to the menu Mark > Join Clips - or use the keyboard shortcut of the delete key.

It will only work if you have the edit point selected, as already noted:
Thanks but the Trim->Joins Clips is disabled. I also made a test, cut a clip (with Cmd-B) and immediately after tried to join them back (without doing a simple undo with cmd-z) and Trim->Joins Clips was also disabled. It is very simple to do this in iMovie with Cmd-J.
Unless you meant something else by ‘Join Clips’. Thanks again.
It will work on any clip that shows a dotted line. It doesn’t matter how long ago or even if the system has been rebooted. If any change is made to the cut point then the through edit cannot be deleted. Please show a screenshot of what you’re seeing.
As Tom says, a through edit has the dashed vertical line, as shown in the screen shot I posted earlier. If there's no dashed line, then the clips do not have identical properties and can't be joined-- something was changed on one of them (transformed, cropped, etc.)

Can you post a screenshot of what you see after you blade the clip. Are you selecting the edit point?
Thanks, Trim->Join Clips is disabled. Delete key didn’t work for (plus I am not sure which key is considered the delete key on Mac… I used the ‘back delete’ key.
The delete key is the one next to =. On my MBP is marked delete.
Thanks, it works for clips that I just sliced (with Cmd-B), but not for split clipped that were sliced a few steps back for some reason...
