Last thing: iMovie is best suited to video. VO+j is your bestest friend to jump around the various sections in the iMovie window. Other than that, it's just a matter of getting used to the interface. They work, but you better like the default effect applied with the keystroke because that whole drag and drop thing does not work.
Interacting with the dragh handles and using the arrow keys will only move it one excruciating frame at a time, and most videos have at least 30 of those per second. On a related note, your best option for moving a clip around once it's already in the timeline is to select, cut, move the playhead to where you want it to start, and then paste it. I would vent my frustrations, but then my post would be removed. You have to coax the volume control in the clip control window into working, and even then it will jump up and down in irregular steps. The volume control handle on the video object in the timeline does not work. You can easily fix this by nudging the playhead forward or back with the arrow keys, but it's something that can throw you off if you're not prepared. It's a matter of getting accustomed to the keystroke commands, but occasionally the playhead may be positioned in the middle of a frame. The three biggest frustrations I faced were playhead positioning, volume control, and transition effects. There should be a list accessible through the help menu. Your best friend are the keyboard shortcuts. The tutorials which helped me out were this one: and this one. Frustrations aside, yes you can create a basic video with it. IMovie is accessible, but you have to wrestle with it.
