Q: Imovie Importing from camera
Having only used imovie for a short time after upgraded from imovie 11, it appears that the new version is designed to upload directly into into iPhoto automatically without the choice of going into imovie. I don't quite understand the reasoning for this by Apple, but my problem stems from the fact that I also seem unable to import the video from iPhoto unless I first export it to the desktop and THEN import it from there to an event file in iMovie. I can't believe that there isn't a better way of doing this direct from the camera into iMovie, but as I haven't found it yet, I should be grateful if someone could tell me a more practical way of having all my initial imported videos all under the same roof so to speak, where they will be used, instead of being directed straight into iPhoto I use El Capitan 10.11.6.
I am finding this newer version of iMovie a tad less intuitive than earlier versions and certainly more complicated, but understand that with the next step up to Final Cut, it can be a good training ground. I should appreciate a comment from anyone who has had this experience.
iMovie 10, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), imovie 10.1
