You can choose to separate or delete the audio from the video files, if you just want the visual images, and wish to overlay in more music.

When the video files are imported into your main timeline, they should have two components to them: the video image itself, and the sound of the video.

Alternatively, drag the files into the iMovie browser, in order to import them more quickly. Find the files you want to edit, and insert them into the project. Press on this button to access your computer's files. This should open up an empty screen, with a large button saying 'Import Media', as shown here.

In order to import video files, press on the sidebar title named: 'My Media' to the far left.

You can import both video files and audio files into your project.

Once you've opened a new Movie project, you will be taken to a screen where you can see various ways of importing media into your project.
