Import song from GarageBand into iMovie on iPad.

I'm sad because I can't seem to find a way to get a song I made in GarageBand on iPad into iMovie on iPad without going through a computer.

They should really implement this! I want to be able to take a beat I make in GarageBand and import it into iMovie and create a video and upload to YouTube etc. Without the use of a computer.

Any ideas? Maybe future update?

iMac (2009) - MacBook pro 13"(2011) - iPhone 4 (16gb,AT&T) - iPad2 (32gb, VZW), Mac OS X (10.6.3)

I figured it out. I made a song on my iPad 2, and I chose the "send to iTunes" option. Then I connected my iPad 2 to my PC (groans) and opened up the apps for GarageBand, to pull the song into my iTunes library. Then I synced the song back onto my iPad iTunes library. I opened iMovie, and the song was on the playlist on my iPad. I imported it onto my audio track for my little video. Hope that wasn't too confusing.

Lrigttlw... Please read the post more carefully. The problem is that you have to connect the iPad to another computer, pc or Mac, at all to access music files created in garage band when using iMovie. You should'nt need to use another computer to access files between apps on an iPad. Cmon apple make us a file system or allow garage band and all other apps to export and access files to/from user defined folders.

Gosh, it's ages now since the post have been posted and no one from Apple is answering?

I find Apple amazing for everything the come up with, but then I can't really understand how they can miss out such basic daily needed features!

Come on guys! Give us an answer!!

How am I supposed to do if I wanna do a soundtrack for a movie presentation and I'm travelling with my iPad only? That's the purpose I bought it for, isn't it?
