IS there a way to turn off video import into iPhoto? I want to use FCPX for my movie editing stuff, and iPhoto for photographs only. I end up with the movies in 2 locations consuming soace, and my photo import takes a lot longer. There must be a preference to disable movie import, but I can't find anything. Help..?
iPhoto '11, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
You can try to import selectively, when you connect your camera. Don't use the "IMport All" button, but press the Command ⌘ key while you click each photo you want to import, and then click the "Import Selected" button.

I kind of resorted to doing this, but its a bit of a pain when there are a lot of movies, I had hoped there would be a simple preference to enable or disable the feature
Use FotoLader (Dutch). A standard app by Apple and free on your Mac. You can sort on type. Select all photos and import direct into iPhoto. This is how I avoid getting video in iPhoto.

In English, I believe that Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) you're referring to.
Right 🙂
Image Capture in Dutch looks like this:
Can you stop iPhoto 11 importing video (particularly AVCHD) files
