Importing from iPhone

I noticed that some random movies shot on my iPhone are not showing up in the import window.

Restarted both iMovie and reconnected devices, the movies are still viewable on the iPhone but won't show up in the import window.

Any idea why this is happening?

Thank you!

Hello Gric959,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. I know having an issue importing videos into iMovie on your Mac is not what you expect. If I understand correctly, you are unable to see all the videos that are on your iPhone when trying to import directly into iMovie. Since that isn’t working, I suggest to resolve your issue importing videos is to import from your iPhone into your Mac using either Image Capture or Photos for OS X using these steps, then try to get them into iMovie again:

Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Add video clips and photos from your photo library - iMovie Help

Cheers!
