I know I can export it to .dv, but those files are large, and I don't really want to spend the time converting files when I should just be able to drop them in. Or maybe I'm not doing it right?
DV and ACI produce large files. Motion-JPEG and Photo-JPEG produce medium sized files. And MPEG4 and H.264 with limited video data rates produce small size files.
I start a new iMovie Project, then I see an area to "drag contents" on the top portion of the window. I can't drag anything there. There is also a bottom portion that I can't do anything with either.
Only Event clips (either in iMovie '08 or iPhoto) can be dragged/added to the Project window. Files must be imported to the Event window using the "Import from camera...", "Import from HD Project...", or "Import Movies..." or by drop importing to the Event Library list_name -- not to the Event window itself.
