What flavor of iMovie?

Do you have enough RAM?

Do you have enough Free HD space? Keep at least 20% of
your total free for memory swap files - e.g. 80GB
drive should always have at least 16GB FREE!

Can you choose a larger screen resolution to grab/move the
app.

Deleting the .plist file (preferences) can solve some
menu/placement problems.

From iMovie->Help:

Rearranging the iMovie window to optimize workspace You can
optimize the iMovie workspace by rearranging or resizing some
elements. Try different combinations of elements to find the
best arrangement for your working style.

To optimize the iMovie workspace, do any of the following:

◼ Select Window > “Swap Events and Projects” or click
the Swap button to exchange the screen space used for projects
and for Events.

◼ Click the Show/Hide Projects button to expand or
shrink the space available for viewing project clips.

◼ Click the Show/Hide Events button to expand or shrink
the space available for viewing source video clips.

◼ Click the Show/Hide Filter Keywords button to further
expand or shrink the space available for viewing source video
clips.

◼ Change the size of the iMovie viewer (the area in the
iMovie window where the video plays).

Changing the size of the viewer ► To change the viewer
size, do one of the following:

◼ Choose Window > Viewer > [size].

◼ Drag the horizontal toolbar in the middle of the
iMovie window.

Dragging it to the top of the window gives you the entire
space for working with the source video or project filmstrips.

Good Luck, N.
