Cannot drop images or videos onto iMovie timeline

Hi, Michael,

Try deleting/resetting preferences, as that sometimes cures things when iMovie behaves other than as expected. To delete/reset preferences open iMovie while holding down the Option and Command keys and select to delete preferences in

the box that appears. iMovie will open in a new library. Reopen your old library to get back to your projects. Possibly you may need to reboot to set the changes. Now see if you can drag and drop images and videos into the iMovie timeline.  Deleting preferences is a safe procedure that will not cause data loss or disruption to your project.

Glad you got things working. Yes, deleting preferences is the first thing to try when things suddenly start not working right. Another easy thing is to copy your media into a newly created project, as sometimes issues are confined to just one particular project and will go away when you start another project.

Have fun.
