What could be the problem here?
I had the same problem and so I came to this community post to see if there is a solution and did not see that anyone had one. So I think I found it. Go to File > Import > Movies... > find the video clip you want and click import. I hope that works for you too. Thanks!
This really helped me out! Thank you!
You must make sure to highlight the clip in event library in order to drag it into the project part
Hey ya'll I just figured this out! I had scanned a bunch of photos for a wedding video. I then cropped them and changed the resolution in Photoshop and saved them all. When I went to save them, there was a box checked in Photoshop that said something like "Make photo available in Photoshop Organizer" For some reason when that box is checked, the file DOES NOT save with a .JPEG extension. So when I was naming a file "57" and choosing the "save as JPEG" option, it was saving as a JPEG but wasn't CALLED "57.jpeg" That's why I couldn't drop and drag them.
I found out by opening the properties boxes of a photo I could drag and a photo I couldn't drag and going through all the details. SO FRUSTRATING but I hope this helps someone else!!! Good Luck!!!
this is ridiculous... anyone figured this out? Not sure what the last jpeg post has to do with this issue.
I have the same problem and have used iMovie11 on a few projects before, but not recently, but this problem suddenly seems to happen for me. I create an event and import videos, then have to select videos and drag into a project I create, right?
That just scrolls down the event videos and drags nothing into the project. The preview plays the videos in the events, the projects area has apparently become redundant. Either I'm missing something or the app has gone wrong in some way.
I couldn't drag either but the E key idea worked instantly.
Thanks - but can't imagine why manual dragging does not function here.
Hi Tom,
Did you find a solution, I'm having the very same problems, very annoying.
The E key works for inserting clips from events, but still no preview when mousing over the project clips.
Baffling.😕
