Importing video from iPhoto to iMovie

I am using imovie 10.0.3 , and iphoto 9.5.1


I have never used iMovie before, and wanted to start , I have roughly 50 gigs of pictures and movies in iphoto , and want to import the movies to iMovie so I can edit them. I have read that when you plug the iphone into your mac, that the movies are suppose to automatically import to imovie (this never happens for me).


Is there a way to import my movies to iMovie now that the are in iPhoto ? Will it sort for me automatically, or do I have to search over 13,000 files, looking for video and import one by one ?


If it's one by one , I will never use imovie and give up.



Thanks

Hi lahainatattoo!


I feel that this article would be the best one to address this question about importing video files into iMovie from iPhoto:

There is also an article about importing video from your iPhone into iMovie, and it can be found here:

Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.
