Editing video from Iphoto in Imovie

I really want to edit a small video clip I have currently in iphoto. I thought I could easily import it into imovie and edit it there, however I don't seem to be able to see it when I select the show video from iphoto button. I think maybe the format isn't compatible. Does anyone know how I can get this video into imovie and crop it? It was taken on a compact digital camera.

Thanks in anticipation!

I'm having the same sort of problem. My Imovie 08 imported my iphoto mpgs into the database just fine. My photos and movies are loaded into iphoto and can be seen there. However, my new movies can't be imported from iphoto over to imovie. Does anyone have a solution to help us? (other than importing directly from the camera with imovie open?)

I'm having the same problem, the first lot of videos i shot with the 3gs have come up in iMovie in iPhoto Videos, but the videos I took this weekend are not there.

Same problem here cannot see all my video footage stored in iPhoto when I use the button to show all my iPhoto videos, some just won't show up ! Did not change camcorder but used iPhone 3Gs video and they do not show up ? Also some dates are wrong , it shows videos from 1904 ?!
