Can't drag clips from clip pane to build movie

The clips in the clip pane turn grey when clicked (or opaque...not blue) and can't be dragged into the clip viewer.
I can select them, edit them in the clip pane, but can't drag them. Help!

Close iMovie and delete its preference file. Go to your Home folder (YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.imovie.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. Note: If you have installed both iMovie 6 and iMovie 8/9, be sure to delete the appropriate plist file. The one for iMovie HD6 does not have a number; the one for iMovie 8/9 will look like com.apple.imovie7 (or 8). plist
Reopen iMovie and see if it now works properly.

Can't drag clip in expert without distortion of interface

can't drag clip in expert without distortion of interface
What's wrong?

ARBY-77
In what way are you distorting the interface in this task?
Are you referring to media already placed on the Timeline being disturbed when you drag a file to the Timeline from Project Assets? Or, maybe audio file already on the Timeline breaking up when you drag a file from Project Assets to the Timeline?
If so, please hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard as you drag the file in place on the Timeline.
If other than the above, please supply additional information for us to help you.
Thanks.

Can i drag files from one computer to another

can i drag files from one computer to another

You can, if you want to transfer files between macs I advies to use AirDrop(wi-fi needs to be enabled). Use shift+command+R, this will take you to your AirDrop in finder. Do this on both computers and you should see the user of the mac where you want to transfer files to.
If the seconds computer is a Windows, you can alway use a USB Drive, External Drive, through Dropbox(install dropbox on both computers and download the files that you need on the second computer) and if the file is small even mail.

Jeroen

Can't drag files from Mini Bridge

Can't drag songs from itunes onto anything (desktop, flash drive, etc.)

This is weird.
All of a sudden, I can't drag songs from itunes onto the desktop, any folder on my hard drive, my flash drive, or my spare hard drive. On a health computer, if you drag a large number of files, first they land as white icons and they fill in as they get transferred. With my computer, the white icons stick around for a few second and then disappear. The first time I try, I can transfer 1-10 files successfully. After that it stops working. Here is what I've done.
1] Upgraded my system from 10.3.X to 10.4.5
2] I upgraded itunes from 7.0 to 7.3.1
Has anyone seen this before?
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Jeff

Since I can not edit my own post I'll have to reply to myself... Sorry for the "spam" on the forums.
I DID find something out (while playing with this some more)...
Try and copy as many songs as you can with UNIQUE titles. I've noticed that when you drag the songs in iTunes to the desktop (or a folder) the file it creates/copies is named like so: "songtitle.mp3."
Apparently the Finder and iTunes don't play well together [enough] to prevent several files of the same name from appearing - in most OS's I've played with (Linux and Windows, in addition to other Apple & Mac OS's over the years) there's a mechanism for handling this... Windows just adds a number to the end the of the second (and all future occurring) file(s) of the same name - as does most Linux builds I've used... Apparently the Finder in OS X just doesn't do anything - at all - when it discovers this "name error."
What I had to do (I was copying my Christmas music - do you know how many "Jingle Bells.mp3" files you can have?!) was make many folders or manually rename EACH FILE one by one so that others could be copied in the same place since the file name would always be JUST THE SONG NAME and the extension (and I do tend to keep my files in higher bitrate MP3 format for easier shuffling from OS to OS as I tend to use (in case you've not noticed) many different ones at any given time).
So, try avoiding any songs with the same title (or altering the title in iTunes somehow), or make separate folders to keep the same song name files from being created in the same place; and see if that doesn't clear this problem up for you - it did for me. ^_^
And sorry for being so "wordy" on this post. ^_^;

Can't drag video from source monitor to timeline

I have been working a few years with Premiere Pro (now CC) and this never happened to me before.
I can't drag video from the source monitor to the timeline. What is happening? The sound can be dragged but there is a hand with a 'no sign' for the video??? How can I solve this problem without starting over again?

Please dont double post!!!!

Running MacOS 10.8.4 Contacts 7.1 (1170) can't drag cards from one folder to another.

I am running 10.8.4 with contacts 7.1 (1170). I find I can't drag cards from one (any) group to another group. When I restart it shows the card and indicates that it should accept it as it isn't in that group. But doesn't move cards. Then it no longer gives any indication the cards are moving when I drag. When I shut down and restart it gives indication the cards are moving but none move and then no longer gives any indication when I drag. I am syncing with icloud.

Problems such as yours are sometimes caused by files that should belong to you but are locked or have wrong permissions. This procedure will check for such files. It makes no changes and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
First, empty the Trash.
Triple-click the line below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
find ~ $TMPDIR.. $ -flags +sappnd,schg,uappnd,uchg -o ! -user $UID -o ! -perm -600 -o -acl $ 2> /dev/null | wc -l
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
The output of this command, on a line directly below what you entered, will be a number such as "41." Please post it in a reply.

Can't drag clip into playhead

It just highlights it, when I try to drag it to playhead.
Its there, I've imported it twice, there it is in clips, but when I try to drag it to build movie I can't. I even tried copy paste, to no avail. What should I do?
Thanks everyone.

Sometimes just saving, closing and re-opening solves it.
Sometimes trashing the preferences solves it:
Quit iMovie.
Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie.plist and get rid of it. iMovie will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash and run a permissions repair from the Disk Utility folder.
The files are located here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist
And, sometimes it takes more. Read what Karl Petersen writes here:

Can't drag clips

I just imported about five clips from my camera onto imovie (06) and as soon as I try to drag the clip to the timeline it turns transparent and I can't drag it. I can still select it, but I can't drag it and therefor can't edit it.
This hasn't happened before and it's really really irritating.
Anyone know how to fix this?

Maybe try the iMovie 6 forum. You will get a lot more experienced eyeballs looking at your post there.

Can't drag clips into timeline (newbie warning)

I'm sure that this has been discussed previously on this board, but I couldn't find a post.
Back to my problem: All of a sudden, the current project that I'm working on will not let me drag clips into the timeline. The clips turn to a "lite" color of gray and freeze. I'm brand new to this so a uncondescending response would be greatly appreciated.

Hi larget2 - this being a very friendly board, it is most unlikely that you will be scorned! We've all sought and been given willing help here from time to time.
Some more details might be of help in solving your problem:
How big is your project, and how much storage space do you have?
What is the source of your clips?
Is this your first project, or have you successfully completed others?
How far into the project were you before the problem began?
Is your project stored on your start-up disk, or on an external drive?
try repairing permissions (Applications>Utilities>Disk Utility), and with iMovie closed down, trash this file: Users(you)>Library>Preferences>com.apple.imovie.plist.

Can't drag clip into movie

I have a library of clips. I've created projects before. I create a new project. I try to drag a clip into the new movie. It fails. The little clip icon just snaps back to the original location of the clip. I try other clips. Same thing.
Something has changed iMovie such that I can't create a new project and drag clips into it.

My bad. Error was between the chair and the keyboard. I was trying to drag whole clips rather than selections of frames.
