iMovie, NOT intuitive at all..cannot add music

[Belgique]

iMovie 9 is NOT intuitive at all.....Apple seems to have abandon the idea....I selected music from iTunes but I cannot attach it to the video that is in the program.....I remember the earlier version that was totally intuitive....but the Developer Geeks said to each other...."nothing is wrong with this version of iMovie.....so lets change it....you know we have to look busy so this is a new project....if we make it difficult to use.....so what" Does anyone know how to make the videotrack intigrate the audio from iTunes....???

Just drag the music file down above you video. You can then drag the length of it and position it where you want it.

Tried that many different ways...it does NOT work.

You are on a Mac or iPad? On a Mac you get your Audio from within iMovie, not from iTunes. Near the top of the screen, click on Audio it will then show the music you have in iTunes. Find a song you want and drag it down to your Video. You must own the music, it can not be something you don't own.

"Did not work". Can you be more specific?

What did you try, in detail? What did you expect to happen? What happened instead? Can you provide screenshots of any errors / messages?

I take it you are trying to add music to a Project in the Timeline?
