Thanks, Ric. I'm running iMovie HD 6 on my G4 OS 10 4.4. I figured out the above problem last night ... I needed to check the boxes on the audio view. Now I have a new problem: is it possible to add music to just one clip? I've created an opening clip using one of the themes. This is followed by an imported slide show. When I added music to the opening clip, I checked the "place at playhead" box, and it appears to be playing right through the first clip and into the second. The second clip, a slide show, already had music, and to my ear, it sounds like I'm getting a combination of the music from clip one and clip two ... maybe it's just my ear. Thanks for your help.
