Hi Ronni, Lloyd was complaining about video clips from digital cameras being transferred directly to iphoto rather than imovie.

I understood from Lloyd's email, his friend was having trouble importing the video & photos into iPhoto5.

I have a friend who is using an iMac OSX 10.4.3 and has had terrible
problems with iPhoto.

He tells me in transferred a movie taken with his digital camera, not a
movie camera, into iPhoto along with his other photos on the card.

Imovie only imports video from video cameras, not digital cameras, which makes sense to me.

Correct, and it does make sense.

Cheers,

Remember that once the movie clips are imported into iPhoto they become available in iMovie just like your photos.

Bring them to the time line and your away editing them in iMovie.

Quality varies depending on the source.

If the iMovie will only contain clips from the digital camera experiment with the various video formats available in iMovie 5/6.
