A long time ago I was an avid user of iMovie but it's been a long time since I used it and am completely baffled. First some facts.
My iMac is is a 20"early 2008 model running El Capitan 10.11.6 (highest version available). My iMovie is v9.0.9 last modified 5/20/18 and I can't find if it is upgradable.
Here is my dilemma. I am trying to create a slide show with photos only (no videos). If I can get it to work I might add music later. I have dragged multiple photos into the "Project Library" and they are there but when I press the play triangle the red bar moves through the photos but there is nothing playing anywhere. In the old days I would click a camera icon on the right side of the screen (I believe that was an earlier version of iMovie) and photo selections would appear. When I do it now a section titled Photo Booth opens with a message "To see Photo Booth media hear, open Photo Booth to take and save your pictures and videos". However when I open Photo Booth it is a screen with my unflattering live face.
As stated, I have dragged multiple photos into the "Project Library" and they are there. Have I dragge dthem to the wrong place? Am I working in vain here? As stated I am completely baffled.
Sugestions will be very appreciated
