importing and joining movie clips

hello ! here's my question to you. I'm working on a video project (home movies) and I have 12 video clips from various tapes saved to my hard drive. I've managed to import them one by one into the latest version of iMovie (10.0.6 I believe) and they import correctly. However, I cannot seem to, for the life of me, join all of these video clips together to create a full movie. I've tried selecting all of the clips, then share, then file. I click on it, then nothing. I can export clip 1,2, etc, but that's not what I want. I want the whole thing all together

thanks for any help

Imported clips appear in the event pane but this is not where you assemble a movie. You have to create a project then drag and drop the clips into its timeline.

thanks, GeeD. It's been a while since I used iMovie and the last version I used was 8 or 9 (back when I had my single quad core Mac Pro). Things sure have changed. Frankly, I like some of the older controls better, but what can you do? it is what it is---and it works

Movie done

thanks, sir
