Importing footage into iMovie

Here is another issue:
iMovie used to automatically start importing my movie clips when I connected my camera. Now it does not do it anymore. I can't even manually import clips from my camera into iMovie. I have to do it in a 2-step way, copy the clips to the hard drive and then go to iMovie and import them from my hard drive.
Is there a way to reset the function so I can import the footage directly into iMovie again? Thank you!

Hawk77, if your camera stores stuff on SD cards, you can connect the cam, open imovie to the event you're importing to, and either: 1. select File>Import from camera (also command/I), or 2. open up the contents window of your SD card and drag the selected files all the way over to the name of the event you're importing to. If you just drag the files to the project files area for events (where you expect to see them load), and don't drag them all the way over to the left where the events titles are, they will not have been imported. Not sure that this applies to non-HD footage. Hope that helps!
