Alternative to Holding Down "R" Key for Clip Range Selection in iMovie 10.1.2?
Has anyone found an alternative way to select a range of a clip in iMovie 10.1.2 other than holding down the "R" key? The method used in previous versions of iMovie was quick and intuitive. You simply skimmed to a point on the clip, clicked, and dragged to make the selection. Skim, click, and drag. It couldn't have been any easier. Now, when you click on a clip it selects the entire clip. The only way to get just a piece is to change your train of thought, find the "R" key, hold it down, and hope you can get back to the creative process. How is this better for the user? This is a step backwards in usability. Am I missing something? Why would the iMovie software engineers make such a confounding decision? Is there a way to get back to the simpler method by a Preference? I can't imagine a user thinking, "Wow, this process of holding down the 'R' key is really a nice update. It actually makes iMovie easier to use."
