While adding music to videos on iMovie it creates a huge gap in between

While adding music to videos on iMovie it creates a huge gap in between if I split the audio clip and try to add it again or add a different audio clip it still creates a gap. I don't understand why?

Music automatically being trimmed Im trying to add background music to a video I made, but every time I add it in, iMovie automatically trims it. I want the song to play from the beginning, and I am not being allowed to do that. Instead it decides to play the song about 30 seconds in and leaves a huge space of nothing and empty audio before that. What's the deal?

iMovie Thanks for your help in advance. I purchased a song on iTunes. I'm trying to insert into an iMovie project between two other audio clips. Unfortunately when I try to insert it, the middle section of the audio clip disappears but when I move the clip to the left or right below the other clips the whole clip reappears. And when I try to split clip the new audio where the content is missing and try to insert the new clip the same thing happens. There is also a green link bar to the left of the new clip I want to add.

Adding a freeze frame In iMovie moves all my audio clips around Hi doing a video for work demonstrating some software I've recorded the video portion as a single video clip and am now trying to attach various audio commentary clips to it. That's all working. What isn't working is that if I need to insert a freeze frame to allow for some discussion before continuing on, iMovie goes and moves ALL of the prior audio clips around. Even if they're no-where near the point where I'm inserting the freeze frame. It's driving me crazy because I then have to go all the way back to the beginning and re-position every single audio clip. Why is it doing this?

Put your cursor on the audio clip and, while pressing down, slide the clip to close the gap.

When you import or copy clips into the timeline, they should come in at the point where you placed the playhead.
