Can you stop iPhoto 11 importing video (particularly AVCHD) files

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.
