[QUOTE="Oneironaut, post: 834701, member: 88633"] Expatgirl, I'm glad I was able to help, but you have to be more patient. I don't know what tutorials you were watching, but what I showed you in my video is also covered in these videos at apple.com. In fact, this is where I learned what I demonstrated for you in my video. I HIGHLY recommend watching them before going any further, they'll save you a lot more frustration: [url=http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie]Apple - iLife - Find out how to use iLife applications on the Mac.[/url] There are 21 separate videos that explain each step of the process, so you can watch whichever ones apply to what you currently doing. Here's the one that shows you how to import photos: [url=http://www.apple.com/ilife/tutorials/#imovie-photos]Apple - iLife - Find out how to use iLife applications on the Mac.[/url] Make sure you have the pictures you want in iPhoto, since you will add photos by clicking on the camera icon on the far right of the center tool bar in iMovie, and your iPhoto pictures and events will appear for you to choose. As for the imported AVI, it may not appear right away if it's a large file as you say. But also make sure you have selected the appropriate Event from the Event Library on the bottom right AND make sure the project pane up on top says "Project Library", showing you all individual projects with their corresponding footage. If the title of the window says "Project - New Project" (or something other than what you titled your project), you need to click the "Project Library" button on the very top right. The footage might not be showing if you've selected the wrong event or project. If the footage still doesn't appear, you should call the AppleCare center for your part of the world. You should still have complimentary phone support, but if not (you only get 3 months I think), you should buy an AppleCare Protection plan as soon as possible, which will expand your support service another two years. This will be especially important for you since there are no Apple Stores near you. Again, PC proficiency won't always be of help to you, in fact, it can be a hindrance. I really urge you to take advantage of the video tutorials above, because they could have provided you with many of the the answers you needed a long time ago. It took me all of five or ten minutes to find some basic solutions, and I'd never used iMovie before in my life. Just take a breath, take your time, and don't get ahead of yourself. [/QUOTE]
