Is it true, that you still cannot select a live photo in newest iMovie update?
Or is there a way on how to select the video info from the file?
No, I do not want to export every photo as video and then import it in iMovie...
Thanks.

If your question is whether you can import a live photo directly into iMovie's newest version, and still have it retain its "live" character -- the answer is no. You can import the live photo but it will come in as a still .jpeg.
A live photo is a still image coupled with a 2 second video. You can do a File/Export/as Unmodified Original of the live photo from the Photos app to your desktop. You will get a still .jpeg file and a separate 2 second video file. You can drag both into iMovie, thus preserving the live photo effect if you wish.

Thank you Rich,
"yes, also with the new version this is still true" would be enough.
Please Apple, this would be so easy to implement and very usefull...
You are welcome.
