I have a bunch of MP4 video clips that I want to compile using iMovie into a single, long MP4 video.

How would I go about doing this?
 
Add them all to the library, then place them into the order you want them in.

Would I do File-->Import Movie?

After that, would I just drag them from the event library onto the timeline?

Also, is there any way to trim the videos?

Are they .flv or .mp4?

mp4 should work, but reencoding won't hurt.

They're all .mp4.

I'll go with the reencoding and see how that works out. I'll post back on the results. This'll be rather fast, considering that they're all 360p and 7-8 minutes.
 
If you re-encode them, also called "transcoding", be sure to use MPEG Streamclip, as it offers the Batch List function (Command + B) and is able to output .mov (Command + E, "Export to QuickTime") using the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) for video (leave it "unscaled" in the Frame Size section) and Uncompressed for audio.
