Sync video from iPhone 4 to iTunes..?

I've just got my new iPhone 4 (upgraded from iPhone 2G) and it's superb!

I recorded my first video today but for the life of me I can't seem to get it to sync into iTunes. Everything else works fine.

I'm quite sure I'm missing something blindingly obvious here but does anyone have any pointers?

Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.2), Time Capsule, Apple TV, iPhone 4.

Page 122 of the manual:

"Uploading Photos and Videos to Your Computer
You can upload the photos and videos you take with Camera to photo applications on
your computer, such as iPhoto on a Mac.
Upload photos and videos to your computer: Connect iPhone to your computer.

Â Mac: Select the photos and videos you want and click the Import or Download
button in iPhoto or other supported photo application on your computer.

Â PC: Follow the instructions that came with your photo application.
If you delete the photos and videos from iPhone when you upload them to your
computer, they’re removed from the Camera Roll album. You can use the iTunes
Photos settings pane to sync photos and videos (videos can be sync with Macs only)
to the Photos application on iPhone. See “iPhone Settings Panes in iTunes” on page 55."

If you use iPhoto on your Mac for importing photos and videos from a digital camera and for photo storage and management on your Mac, you can use iPhoto for this. When your iPhone includes photos and/or video in the Camera Roll, it is also detected as a digital camera when connected to your Mac.

If you don't use iPhoto, you can use the Image Capture application for this which is located in your Applications folder.

iTunes does not handle the import of photos and/or video from a digital camera including from your iPhone's Camera Roll.

I knew it was something simple!
I haven't used iPhoto for ages so it's not in my usual workflow.
Thanks folks.

How do I get the videos uploaded to iPhoto synced back to my iPhone Without having them exported to iTunes because that seems an unnecessary duplication of videos and process?

Connect your iPhone 4 to your computer, iTunes will start to sync the phone. Check the settings on the "Photos" tab on your device to make sure your settings include the correct albums or events that include the videos you want included, and Apply the settings. When the sync is complete, you probably won't see the videos in the correct albums/events.

Leave the phone connected. Quit iTunes. Re-start iTunes. The sync should begin automatically with the last settings you applied, and when the sync is complete, the videos should appear in the correct albums/events on your iPhone, without having to import to iTunes, change the format, or anything else.

It worked for us on two different MacBooks (different OS's) and our iPhone 4's. Hope it works for you!

This is why I love the discussions, finally got an i phone, waited all this time to come to Verizon, and could not figure out how to get the video on to my Mac. I do not have i-photo set up to sync images, I use image capture because I process in Raw on Capture. Bingo opened Image capture and whooppee there were the videos, thanks for the help even though I did not ask the original question
