I listened to all of those who told me to get iMovie 6.0 to replace version 8 and they were right! It is much more user-friendly and seems far more capable. But....

When I select a clip and then Edit/VideoFX I no longer see the clip. I did select the portion where I want the FX to apply, but in the preview pane, I see nothing. Nor does the FX have any effect. In fact, the Apply button never is highlighted. AFAIK, I am following the Help file instructions exactly, but I still get no FX at all.

You people helped me before, so I am calling on you again, please.
