Help: I've accidentally changed my iMovie layout...

I don't even know how this happened, but I no longer have content in the top-half, left panel (by the preview screen) to edit, then add the clips to the bottom... Right now, ALL of the clips are in the lower half which is distracting for me.... The screen looks like the below screenshot (and I can not figure out how to get it back to how I had it).

I have tried "revert to original layout" with no success...

Thank you!

Hello SeaBoast,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

If I understand your post correctly, you want to view your clips in the top left side of iMovie, with your project below. From looking at your screenshot it does not appear you have a project open. Thus you are only seeing the clips along the bottom, which is normal.

Take care.

Most likely you pressed the cross top left above the project timeline which unloads the project. Select your project thumbnail in the event and double-click it and the timeline should reappear at the bottom of the iMovie window.
