When I import video from my iphone to imovie it doesnt look right, it makes everyone look wider and shorter. Is there a way to fix this?

This is close.  I did a bit more digging I have found a few more things.   It appears that the input dialog is a read once on connect and then it never updates.  I had my iPhone connected to my Mac when I did my convert from FILMiC Pro to my Camera Roll.  Just on a whim, I dissconnected my iPhone with FCPX open and then connected it again.  This time when I opened up the Import window the movie I converted showed up.   It appears my issue may have simply been related to the specific series of operations that I happened to use at the time I was trying to perform an import to FCPX.
One last item of note.  There is a movie in my Camera Roll that FCPX still does not see.  This was a movie shot by my son-in-law of my grandaughter on his iPhone and then it was sent, via message, to my iPhone.  Obviously it is a highly compressed video of unknown compression and frame rate.   Regardless, FCPX does not see this video.  I'm guessing it is not a .mov quicktime file but some other format specific to imessage video.
Thanks for the help Russ.  It at least pointed me in the right direction.  I understand why no one else could comment as I'm guessing no one else has had an issue.  A very subtle "feature".
