I use background music fading in and out as the kids talk. Now this new iMovie cannot do that easily, or maybe cannot do it at all. I am very frustrated.. Once I watched the tutorial video, the program is quite easy to use otherwise. I like the way it lists the "events", and very easy to move and organize the clips...but that audio thing is very annoying. I have the new Final Cut Express, that I never used before, but for this particular project I am doing now, it would have been time consuming to import the clips, so I decided to start to relearn iMovie. Also, I don't like the idea, that for titles and audio I have to go outside of the program. Anyway, Have you figured out a solution for iMovie's audio yet?
