Trying to grab clip in iMovie
When I just try to highlight a clip to use, the whole video is selected.
iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)

I think that I am suddenly having the same issue. My version of iMovie is 10.1.2. El Capitan 10.11.4.
For the avoidance doubt are you attempting to select a portion of a clip by doing a click-drag over the desired section? This is the method I have recently used to select portions I want to mark as a favorite. Something has changed and now this results in the entire clip being selected. You can drag the selection bars at the begging and end of the overall clip to select the desired portion. However, this is painful if your source clip is very long.

To select a range of clip in the Browser or Timeline, hold down the R key and drag your pointer left or right. Type in "Select Part of a Clip" in the help menu for more detailed instructions.
Thanks, that works for me. I have never had to hold down R before, it seems like this is something new. However, I won't loose sleep over it.
Thanks,
Brian
The "R" dragging procedure was added in the update to 10.1.2.
Thanks so much. I never had to hold down the R before. I thought I was going nuts.
