How to transfer movie clip made in PhotoBooth to IMovie

Hi,
Here is my problem, which I can't believe I have, or can't solve.
I used Photobooth and was able to produce a technically proficient two-minute piece of video.
I have an Intel Macbook with Leopard and plenty of memory.
Mac is always so intuitive that I'm shocked that I could not transfer this two-minute Photobooth to IMovie. This has to be incredibly easy.
First, it was impossible to drag the icon for the movie from PhoneBooth to the IMovie screenboard, which I can easily to with other video formats, downloaded from Internet or test Quicktime.
IMovie has a drop down to import movies from cameras and other sources, but where are the PhoneBooth movies stored? The PhoneBooth application icon did not ignite with light to show it was active. IMovie couldn't open Photobooth. How can I import from Photobooth to IMovie, or drag and drop from Photobooth to IMovie, or must I shoot it live with Isight?
Thanks.

If you wish to "drop-import" directly to iMovie '08 from Photo Booth, then drag the movie icon below the main preview screen and drop it to a named_Event in the iMovie '08.

Photo Booth movies are, by default, stored in the user's "Picture > Photo Booth" folder. Or, if desired, you can press the "iPhoto" icon in Photo Booth to move a copy of the currently selected Photo Booth movie to iPhoto where, once you close and reopen iMovie '08, the then properly thumbnailed iPhoto copy of the movie will become available in the iPhoto area of iMovie '08's Event Library list.

See above, see above, no.

  • How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline?  iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

    How do I move clips in one pane of iMove (10.0.3) into the timeline?  iMovie somehow doesn't realize I'm trying to edit the clips.

    Try this:
    Select a small portion of the clip in the event (Above the timeline)
    Click and hold and drag that section into the timeline, it should snap into place but if you drag it above another clip, it will not replace it but will be placed on top and the sound from the other clip will still play. Also this will allow you to use Blue/Green screen modes as well as picture in picture.
    The best way is to drag it to the far right

  • How do I move clips between projects?

    Should be a simple enough task but, how do I move clips made in one project to another project?

    clip media is not conained within a project per se, rather it is referenced by a project, so as long as the media is on the hard disc then it can be referenced by as many projects as you'd like.
    you can open multiple projects simultaneously ... then to move clips between the projects you can just drag and drop between the various projects' bins, or copy and paste if you prefer.

  • How do I transfer movie clips from iPhoto to iPad?

    How do I transfer movie clips from iphoto on my iMac, to my iPad?

    You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import.

  • How do I move clips from one Event to another?

    How do I move clips from one Event to another?
    As soon as I got the new iMovie, I started importing clips and making video's. Unfortunately, I hadn't fully understood the Events feature, so all of my clips are in a single "New Event" Event. I have now created several other Events and named them properly and would like to sort all of my clips into their proper "Event" folders. How do you do that?

    Ahh, Ok. I actually had to go to Lynda.com to watch a training video of this highly bassackwards maneuver, but now I have it. In other words, while the intuitive thing is to make a new event to hold the clip you want and then open the old event and drag the clip into it's new event, the only way to accomplish this maneuver is to NOT create a new event, but rather, go to the clip AFTER the one you want to move, select it and then Right-Click on it and select SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP (or go to FILE>SPLIT EVENT BEFORE SELECTED CLIP). Then you wait a few seconds while the program thinks a bit (no feedback it is doing this - just a pause) and then it automatically creates a new event with the clip you wanted. Now just double-click the new event and name it something meaningful.
    Thanks for your help!

    How to transfer movies from my Apple Mac to my ipad.?

    Where are these movies? what format do they have?
    You'll need to Import them into iTunes, and sync them through there if they aren't in itunes already.
    Yoiu may need to convert them to a playable format for the iPad. If its a video format itunes support, you ncan make playable versions for iPad from within iPad.
    Alternatively if you find a Video App such as Moli Player you can import them into the App through iTunes File sharing as well without having to change their format. Moli player is capable of playing many types of videos and audio formats.

    Connect the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, and then use the Movies tab on the right-hand side of iTunes to select and sync your film the iPad's Videos app. If it says that it isn't compatible with the iPad then try doing Advanced > Create iPad Version and then try syncing that version over.

    For transferring videos you could use 'Video Transfer App'. I'm the developer of this universal application (iPhone/iPad) that let's you transfer videos from your iPad or computer directly to another iPhone or iPad.
    The app is currently in the Top 25 iPad apps in the photography category.
    Here are couple of videos that show how the app works:
