I'm trying to split a clip in my iMovie project but the option is disabled. Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks!

I'm having the same issue. Not sure what you mean by 'different line'. Can you explain?
I figured it out, the video can't be on a different line—it has to be in the center row—in order to be split.
Hi,
Glad you got it working.
For information purposes, I am using iMovie 10.1.4 with El Capitan, and am able to split a clip in either the middle or top row. In other words, the "Split Clip" selection is not grayed out either in the Modify menu or in the drop down menu that you get when you Control click on a video clip in the time line.
You might try deleting preferences to see if perhaps a corrupt preference is causing a different result in your case. You can do that by restarting your computer and then relaunching iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys, and then selecting to delete preferences in the box that appears.
Also, I notice from your profile info that you are using Leopard, a pretty dated operating system, and that might be
causing the issue.
