    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.

Photos in iMovie

I continue to be frustrated by this dilemma. I tried all the suggestions made with no real success. I tried resurrecting iPhoto and was told it is not compatible with El Capitan. As I reported earlier I came up with the work around taking individual photos to the desktop as movies and importing them that way. It worked for the project I was working at that time but that was only 13 photos. This project has 200 photos so it is really impractical to use that approach. I then used that method for the entire photo file but it imported the file as a continuous "movie" making it impossible to edit them in the movie and cannot insert transitions between clips. This was so intuitive and easy before these "improvements". Can't believe the technology has moved backward

So as I understand it you are still using ElCapitan and the old iMovie version?

Mac O/S is 10.11.6 and iMovie is 9.0.9. When I had my Mac "cleaned up" about a year ago I was told that El Capitan was the latest O/S that will work on my hardware which is early2008

Ah I see. Thanks. I thought that may be the case.

That is quite true and can be confirmed here.

And I dare say that "updating" to an even later macOS version that some seemed to be alluding to, could have made the problem worse.

It's really upsetting to read about none of the posted suggestions actually working. Bummer. And I guess you've tried other Google searching results without success. Double bummer if that is the case!!!

Can you possibly go back to the previous Mac OS version where everything was working??? At least I gather it was.

That would be my next step.

I don’t suppose you can simply drag and drop your required image into the project media area?
That’s all I ever do, but then I have the latest version..

Is it a MacBook ? But yes, anything earlier than 2012 I think it is can't be upgraded.
