When I attempt to open a movie for editing from "Photos" (Right mouse->Edit with->iMovie) I receive the following error:
"The application "iMovie" cannot open the specified document or URL."
This is reproducible each time I try. However, I am able top open "Preview" to edit files etc., the problem seems to be only with iMovie.
Cheers,
Rick
I have the same finding that you have. Apparently the Photos Edit feature in the drop down menu does not work for iMovie.
The way to access your Photos library from iMovie is to click on the Photos item in the side bar of an iMovie project. That will display your Photos library content in accordance with the display categories from the selection tab at the top of the media browser screen -- Albums, Years, Moments, etc. Or you can type in the name of the file in the search box that has a Q: next to it. For this to work your Photos library must be designated as the Photos system library in the Photos app general preferences.

Hi,
Thank you for your very fast tip. After reading and following the instructions in the post you linked to I have tried a few different attempts without any luck. But thank you very much for that lead. Shame it didn't solve the issue I am chasing the solution for.

Well I’m unfortunately unsure. I cannot help you any further. Sorry.
Photos cannot open movie with iMovie
