It's probably done tweaking some special option, to enable the grayed out menu entry.

So, i would like to ask your help on how to mimic the former iMovie 09 'Add Still Frame to Project' behavior. I'm probably missing something, as the option to 'Add Freeze Frame' from the browser panel is there in the context menu (only it's grayed out). I know that i can add a clip to my timeline and there create (add) a Freeze Frame, and this will split my clip in the timeline in 3 parts, after that remove the two remaining parts and keep only the still frame i want, but this is really a cumbersome way of doing it. I'm on Yosemite (all updated), and i'm trying to find out how to add a 'Freeze Frame' in iMovie 10 (version 10.0.9) from a clip in the browser panel directly to the project timeline, as you could do very quick and easily with iMovie 09 ('11), where this option was name 'Add Still Frame to Project'.
