• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • 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.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

Pretty simple question

I have a four hour Audio clip. (recorded my entire super bowl party...and no one knew I was doing it)

Now I want to edit this huge clip down, so I started a NEW project and am slowly going thru the long clip and writing down timecodes of funny sections.

Once I find them I split the audio clip to selece just that clip.

I'm now trying to copy that 3 second clip over to the new project, but it takes 11 minutes to import, and usually doesn't even work. When it DOES work, it's the ENTIRE 4 HOUR clip.

***?

I've tried copy/paste. Cut/Paste. Dragging over to new project.

Nothing will give me just that clip. I know iMovie is non-destructive, but c'mon. There has got to be something I'm missing!

Copy the clip back to the upper right area where clips are held. When done, highlight the remain unwanted clip and delete it, then empty the trash. Now you can drag those save clips down to the time line for further editing and arrangement.

For safety you do want to keep a backup of the original file.
