Yesterday, I settled in, and told myself that I was going to calmly work through the edit again. The video is 15 minutes long, and all I want to do is cut out the sections that have extreme camera shake, and a few sections that run longer than they should. I should be able to get the video down to around 8 minutes. Should be a simple task, right?So I’m going along, adding bookmarks and splitting the video clip at playhead, removing sections just fine, until around the 7 minute mark, a section I had just edited about 2 minutes ago shows up again not in sequence. I haven’t done ANY pasting, yet this clip is showing up? Why?

Google offered no love as to troubleshooting this, and no one else seems to be having this issue I decided as I trolled the Mac forums. So I must be doing something wrong, right? Or not, maybe iMove is just a piece of shite. I wish I could afford Final Cut.

I found a free editing program, AvidFree DV. I haven’t played with it yet, but will in coming days.

All told, I wasted about 5 hours on a task that should be simple. Anyone else have any similar problems with iMovie? Let me know in comments.
