iMovie 10.1.14 on Mojave - can't split a clip

[PeterLindman]

I've tried both a new project and a new event...the split clip is always grayed out

I take it that you have the clip in the Timeline and have clicked on it first?

That actually worked for me...thank you...my older computer has iMovie 10.1.1 and works differently as I can chop out a little part and thus, split the clip up above and not in the timeline...thank you. That other computer, when I export a clip, the time is shifting by 60 seconds as if I started the clip earlier and ended it earlier too...weird. I posted that issue on the forum also....thanks again

You can still do that in the current iMovie. Hold down the "R" key then click and drag inside a clip. You can then select a portion of the clip to drag into the Timeline.
