iMovie 08 - how to split clips

[jasmine84]

My first time using iMovie 08 = I hate my life. In HD you could pause, then click "split clip at playhead". Can you do anything remotely similar to this in 08????? Right now I am dragging the yellow thing, trying to listen to the choppy audio so I know when to trim. It's REALLY annoying. I would just go back to HD but then the transitions blow Someone please help!

OK I am really feeling the drawbacks to iMovie08. If I were to buy video editing software, what's the best option? Final Cut Express?

Are you aware that you can download the old version of iMovie from Apple?
