iMovie, Why Can't I Drag Sections of clips from My Media Tab?

I "updated" iMovie yesterday, and my problem may be because of the update; maybe not. Either way after I add media, and try to drag a part of the media in my Media Tab to the timeline, it won't let me only drag the section I want to select. I cannot even create a selection, it just selects the whole clip.


I've posted a video here: https://youtu.be/okL48XNjjsg


Any ideas?

In the new version (10.1.2) you have to hold the "R" key down while you drag the mouse across part of a clip in the media pane in order to select a range. You can then drag it into the timeline.
