When I drag a movie into iMovie, it just bounces out.

I have an iMac with OS X Yosemite. Using iMovie 09. When I drag a movie into the "new project", it just bounces out. What am I doing wrong?

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

If a clip is not accepted when dragged into a timeline or into an event pane this means that its format is not compatible with iMovie. You will have to convert it to one that is. What is the extension of the video clip file you are trying to import?

Thanks for your help. I took the movie on my iPad. Eventually, I was able to use the import function under the file drop down menu. Not sure why this finally worked or why dragging never worked. Was able to do what I needed to do.
