Can someone suggest a good way to organize video's and clips in iMovie or with some other app?

What's the best way to organize so when I want to put a compilation of different events together, it's easy to do? Like "All the Best from 2005"...

For instance, should I keep all clips for my daughter in the same project or seperate them into different projects?

All I am looking for is a way to quickly find a clip like I can find a picture in iPhoto using titles,tags, ratings, etc... then add it to a project.

Thanks!

I'd recomend just doing it your self in a folder system..
For example:
Videos contains folders labled something like daughter me etc... in each of those folders you have something like january febuary march etc.. then put your video files in the appropriate folder.. in the spot light comments section of the get info on the file with the video leave comments so it is easier to find.. such as soccer game 9/13/05 and then put a rating such as "five stars" and then later you can easily search for the file you are looking for.
