Import Video
Make sure your tape is queued to the exact place that you would like to pull into iMovie. Now that your camera is connected and turned to the PLAY (VCR) mode, you are ready to import your digital video into iMovie:
Step 1:
Make sure you are using camera mode.
Step 2:
When your viewer says "Camera Connected," click the "Import" button. iMovie will play and import your digital video. When you wish to stop importing, click the "Import" button once more.
Step 3:
Drag your imported clip(s) from the clips pane to the editable timeline along the bottom of the iMovie interface.Remember!
iMovie treats deleted files differently that most other programs. If you delete a clip you CANNOT get it back.
