iMovie beginner here, I apologize for the simplicity of the question.
iMovie 9
OS 10.11.6 El Capitan
MacBook Pro 2015
What I want to do:
Import a single jpg from desktop into iMovie.
Not from iPhoto or Photos, but a pic right from a folder on the desktop
What I've done:
Gone to the import photo pane - ok
Added folder which contains jpg - ok
Dragged that jpg into project window area - ok
The clip now appears in the project window - ok
BUT...
What's wrong:
The photo doesn't "show up" in the "viewer" to the right
The photo doesn't appear when I click the spacebar to "play through" it.
I'm doing something wrong.
What is it?
Do the imported photos have to be in a certain format?
If so, which one?
I notice that if I try to edit the photo's "properties", all I see in "the editing window" is a solid color, not the pic itself.
Any guidance appreciated.
