In iMovie, I want to keep the audio, but remove the associated video images and replace them with still images.
Easy:
Select the video clips, go to Advanced and Extract audio.
You not have the soundtrack in a separate audio track. Delete the video clips - job done!
I "detached" the clip. then under edit I can either "delete entire clip" or "delete selection". Either one deletes the video and audio.
How I do it is to open the video file in Quicktime Player 7. Then go to the Window ➙ Show Movie Properties menu option.
In the Movie Properties window click on the Video Track item at the top and use the Delete button above.

Lastly save the resulting .mov file with a new file name, i.e. Save As, so as to preserve the original.
OT
Is there a way to remove video and keep the audio?
