    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.

I am recently the proud owner of a new MacBook Pro and I loving the capabilities of it. There is something with iMovie though that I can't seem to get right. i have watched the video about this on the iLife Tutorial and it still not working.
I can get the picture in video fine, but when I try to put video in video all it does is pushes the video to the side instead of allowing me to drop it on top and get the drop down list to get the options.
Am I not positioning things correctly? I don't know what I am doing wrong. I have gone into, "iMovie", "Preferences" and ticked the box for "Show Advanced Tools" but it is just not letting me do it.

Please will somebody tell me the answer?


Thank you very much,



Thenodfather.

What version of iMovie do you have? It should be iMovie 09 version 8.x.x if your new MBP is actually 'new'. When asking software questions, always post the version.

If you have iMovie 09, go into iMovie Preferences, select the General tab, and make sure 'Show Advanced Tools' is check marked (on/active).

LOL! I think you have the record. Four months for a confirmation message. ;D

Glad to hear it worked.
