I'm using iMovie 10.1.12 on Mojave. I have a video clip that I want to play at the beginning of my slideshow. However, I only want the audio portion of the video clip to play and would like the screen to be black while the audio is playing. What is the easiest way to achieve this?
In iMovie, can I suppress the visual portion of a video clip

If you're looking for a video tutorial, this screencast on YouTube is pretty helpful:
Apple provides a very detailed guide on iMovie, available from Help → iMovie Help or online.
You can't really do this in iMovie as it is limited to 2 video tracks. You can do it in Final Cut or Premiere Pro if you're willing to spend the money, or HitFilm Express if you want don't want to spend a penny.

Right click on the video and select "Detach Audio". From there you can delete the video portion and only be left with the audio.
