iMovie is not seeing my iPhoto library (which contains a number of movies). This is almost certainly because my iPhoto library is not in the default location
I cannot see how to point iMovie to look elsewhere ?
FWIW the path to my iPhoto is:
/Volumes/4TB RAID/Photos
Apple TV, Mac OS X (10.7.3)

You can also import videos from the Finder application:

Hi Judy - whilst your suggestion might work it does not scale......my iPhoto Library has 8 years of photos and videos of our children in it and I do not want to individually import every video into iMovie if I can avoid it.
Thanks for the suggestion

This post may help.
Resetting the prefs has not helped so I am ready to reinstall iMovie....where do I get a new install DMG from ?
Normally, you reinstall iMovie from the App store. If you bought iLife seceral years ago on disk, you can reinstall from there as well.

Hi Judy
I have the same issue with my iMovie 09 not seeing the video clips in my iPhoto library...taken on my iPhone. Your first two suggestions above in your Aug 19 reply work and I can manually import the clips. Any idea however why iMovie is not seeing the clips in the iPhoto library as it should as obviously it can see them when I try your suggestion.
Thanks
Brian
