No timeline in iMovie
Double-clicking on the Projects thumbnail in iMovie 10.4 does NOT open a timeline, just the media viewer. What else can I do?
I'm new to iMovie and this is a most FRUSTRATING introduction!

If the movie is in the media view, just drag it to the timeline.
If not:
Import media into iMovie from your Mac - Apple Support

Hi,
You must create or open a project to get a timeline.

Thanks, Rich. Apparently I clicked on the thumbnail and closed and opened iMovie often enough to produce a timeline. Now that I've got that far, I realise that I do not know what to do next. I've been using Macs and Apple apps for 30 years now -- but this one is so utterly different that I might give up. For the moment at least. Until I can find something specific about editing an existing movie, which is all I want to do. Sigh. Thanks again.
