Deleting complete sections in iMovie?

I think that the easiest way would be to share out your project to a movie on your desktop and then import the shared out movie into a newly created iMovie project. It will come in as one long clip. Then you can do a Modify/Split clip at the in point and out point and delete the segment thus created. Everything will remain in sync.

You would have limited editing capabilities with bringing in the shared movie from the desktop. You could still split it up, delete segments, add titles, add effects and so on, but you couldn't make adjustments to edits that have been embedded into the movie. So, you would need to make all of your edits and adjustments before doing the shared out process.

You could, instead, accomplish the job by working within the existing project. It just gets a little tricky with three layers of media.

Try putting your cursor on the audio clip and, while pressing down, drag it downward into a lower video will so that the handle that attaches it to the video above it is pulled free. That will make the audio independent of the video. Then select the audio clip and do a Mark/Add Marker where you later will make the in and out points of your splits.

Next, select the two layers of video at the same time, so they are both selected and do a Modify/Split Clip at the in and out points of the two video layers. They will both simultaneously split at the same point. Then delete the split-off segments. Return to your audio clip and do a Modify/Split Clip at each of the two markers that you placed earlier. Then delete the split off segment of the audio clip. That should leave everything synced.

If you crop in the Project Browser view you can crop to any dimensions that you want. Take a look at my post in this thread:
