Hi

have never used iMovie before, and have a very simple question

I have just bought a Kodak zx1 camera, comes with the usb etc etc

I have recorded a movie, connected the cable BUT then iPhoto opens and imports through that

how can I change this so that iMovie opens and I import these through this

Any ideas?

I've never used the camera. What I would try to do is close iPhoto after it opens, and then open iMovie while the camera is still connected.

there are 2 options. you can either save the video in you finder and import it from finder into iMovie OR you can quit iPhoto and then open iMovie then go to file-import from camera and then your camera video should pop up with the ability to import it. Make sure you camera is ON and not OFF
