iMovie Color correction

Hi, I'm able to apply color correction in the browser in iMovie with no problem. But the clip in the timeline doesn't change. The paste menu is grayed out and I can't seem to find another way to do this? I'm making multiple adjustments to exposure, color balance, etc.

Hi,


I'm not clear what steps you are following. You can make the color adjustment in the browser and then add the color adjusted clip to the timeline. When you move the playhead over the clip in the timeline, the color adjustment will show in the preview screen but not in the timeline thumbnail. To get the Paste Adjustments options you need to select the color adjusted clip in the timeline and do an Edit/Copy. Then when you do Edit/Paste the color adjustment option will appear.
