Editing iPhoto Videos in iMovie on MBP? Help!
Hey everyone. Over the summer, I used my iPhone 4 to record some video taken over a vacation in hopes of making a movie whenever I could. Today, I imported my videos from my iPhone into my Macbook Pro using iPhoto, and then iMovie automatically synced the videos just placed in iPhoto
First of all, I posted the exact same topic in the "Digital Media" section, however it's been about two weeks since, and I've received no response due to the section's user traffic, or lack thereof.

Now, my problem is that I recorded about 5-6 hours of footage and iMovie has it all in one location called "iPhoto Videos." Furthermore, whenever I click into that location (folder), iMovie lags ridiculously it's very hard for me to navigate between the various days as it's all compiled into one location/folder.

Also, I'd like to mention that I've made movies before, however they were neatly organized by date as I was able to import the footage straight to iMovie instead of iPhoto (using a digital camera with a video recording feature).

Is there any way to organize my videos taken from my iPhone in iMovie? Or possibly re-import straight into iMovie? (but I unfortunately deleted all the footage from my phone as it was taking up a huge amount of space.)

I'd also like to add (in response to another of my threads): I saved the data from iPhoto onto a separate folder and imported it to iMovie, however the footage was not divided into the days at which the events were recorded, which is a huge inconvenience as I have a bit less than 3 hours of film. And to make matters worse, the imported footage is extended (as I recorded it on an iPhone 4, (vertically) which makes everything disproportional.

Any advice for that?
