Why can't I split a still photo clip?

Hello...
I am working on a photo montage using imovie.  There are also video clips added into the project as well.
I can split a video clip.  No problem.
But when I go to split a still photo in the project that is from iphoto, instead of splitting the clip, it DUPLICATES the entire clip and adds it after the clip that I was trying to split.
It is necessary that I be able to split clips to the beat of the music.  And for some reason I can't split still photos.
What am I doing wrong?

Have you considered using the Beat Marker feature? It is much faster.

Here is a good example.

  • Why can't I click and drag photos anymore?

    Why can't I click and drag photos to the desktop to email?

    OK--Think I finally discovered the issue. I'm using a trackball and keyboard setup from Euphonix that communicates with the Mac via Ethernet and TCP/IP. Aperture cannot deal with mouse strokes transmitted this way. If I switch to a USB mouse connected directly to the Mac, the brushes work normally. Still a disappointment since the Euphonix is my default keyboard/mouse and I don't really want to keep a separate USB mouse hooked up.....

  • Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture from Snapseed app?

    Why can I no longer import EDITED photo from my iPad to my Mac using Image Capture? This is farcical and a real problem having to email them individually to myself and is totally inefficient time wise compared to previously using image capture! Why change this when it was working well and very quickly until the latest change. Now I have to move files from downloads into an appropriate folder, after emailing each individual edited image to myself, then I have to open in Photoshop and rename the file. This is ludicrous and takes forever to do!

    Thank you! I suppected it would be in the settings somewhere. I' ve much to learn...get myself into trouble pushing buttons I don't really understand.

    There has been a change in where Firefox searches for plugins and the plugins folder in the Firefox program folder is no longer scanned for plugins, so Firefox won't find them anymore if they are installed in the plugins folder instead of the "browser\plugins" folder that Firefox now scans.
    You can set the plugins.load_appdir_plugins pref to true on the about:config page to make Firefox scan the "<install>/plugins/" directory for plugins like the WMP plugin (np-mswmp.dll).

    You can alternatively move plugins from "<install directory>\plugins\" to "<install directory>\browser\plugins\" (create this folder when missing) to make Firefox find them again.

  • Why can't i fit my full photo as a wallpaper?

    Why can't i fit my full photo as a wallpaper? I want to use a photo i had before the ios7 upgrade, but when i try to fit the whole photo as a wallpaper, it always zooms in. I dont want my photo to be zoomed in when i want to change the wallpaper, i want the whole full photo to show up as my wallpaper. Can this be fixed? I never had this problem until i downloaded the new software ios7

    I kinda found a way to fit your full photo as a wallpaper.  Its a bit of a hassle, but this method can be temporarly used until apple fixes the wallpaper issue. For now what i do is i downloaded an APP called PIC COLLAGE, its free. And i put one photo(or as many as you want) in the center of the collage in the app. I minimized the photo(only) so the whole photo can come out as a wallpaper. Once you put the minimized photo in the middle of the collage, you can save it and use it as a wallpaper. When your about to change the wallpaper, Zoom in into your photo collage you saved so you can fit it on your screen completely. You can even change the background of the collage which can make your wallpaper look even better when its your using it as a landscape mode. Thats the best tactic i can come up with, but it looks great even with the moving motion. You guys try it out. This could be a stress reliever lol

  • Why can't I text or email photos

    Why can't I text or email photos?  It doesn't indicate that it wasn't sent, but I know they're not being received.  Thanks!

    You need to discuss the problem with your carrier. If the phone indicates it was sent, it's getting an aknowledgement from your carrier that they received it. From that point on, it can only be your carrier, the receiving carrier or the interchange between the two that's the problem.
    Does this happen with everyone you try to text, or just some people? You can set up a free google voice account and try texting to/from that.

  • Why can't I e-mail from photos or from inside other apps anymore? I have been able to before.

    Why can't I e-mail from photos or from inside other apps anymore? I have been able to before.

    That’s just the problem I’m having. I follow all the steps as found in the iPhoto help. I select a photo then click the i (INFO) button in the lower right corner to open Faces - Keywords - Places pane. Then select the Keyword I want to remove, then the delete key. The key word I want to remove is removed okay at that point, (from the Keywords pane.)
    However, when I go and do the same operation on a second photo - again the keyword is removed in the Keywords pane - then when I go back the first photo - the unwanted keyword is back.

  • After installing the update, why can i no longer attach a photo on live messenger?

    After installing the update, why can i no longer attach a photo on live messenger?

    In the System Preferences/Printers & Scanners/
    selected this printer.
    Selected Print (vs scan) at top of page shown
    Selected Options & Supplies
    Under the Options tab, checked the box "HP two-sided printing accessory (Duplex)
    And then it worked as advertised
    Why in the Hxxl HP would make a user go through that to activate a key feature of a printer is beyond me.  But this printer has some quirks that HP has never fixed through these past 7 years of ownership and driver upgrades to match OSX version upgrades.
    But that's life.

  • Why can't other computers open my photos from Iphoto or down load them? they don't show up as an icon.

    Why can't other computers open and/or download my photos when I email themfrom IPhoto? Have also tried making it a separate file on my desk; to no avail.
    It shows as an icon and jpeg when it goes out from my computer but they can't download it.
    They might see the photo imbedded in the emil but it doesn't appear as a downloadable icon.
    Thank you for your help.

    I think I can help. I use Mac but my secretary uses PC.
    Make a file on your desktop and name it "test"
    Go to iPhoto and click on a photo to send to this folder
    Go to file and choose "export"
    Pop up window - Kind: jpeg
    quality: maximum
    size: full
    click on export and choose the "test" folder you created on the desktop.
    You can now send any jpeg that you put in this folder from an email account by "attaching file" from within the email. If you have more than one jpeg, right click on the folder and choose "compress file"

  • Why can't I get the same photos and videos I have taken and edited in photos or I photos when I see them in my laptop the photos are unedited in laptop I can see edited photos on in my iPhone not in laptop

    Why can't I can see edited photos and videos. On my laptop why only the original version of the photos are maintained

    Have you copied those pictures from the iPhone to the computer? 
    If PhotoStream is enabled on the iPhone and computer, they will sync between all devices with PhotoStream enabled.  And if that is the case, are you editing the photos in PhotoStream or in Camera Roll?
