If the answers to lllaass's good questions are the cause of your problems, here are some workaround suggestions:


• To Record video directly into iMovie from an external source, connect a tape-based camera or camcorder.


• If you want to record video clips using a USB webcam, you can record into Photo Booth

or QuickTimeX Player and import the recorded clip into iMovie for editing.
