Hi i'm a first time mac user and currently working on my videos in imovie
my question is what is a convenient way to transfer my videos from my external hard drive (formatted in PC) directly to imovie?

I was able to transfer the video files in two ways:
- go to imovie then from file select "import file from....." (but this seems to be a tedious process)
- thru finder open my ext.drive then drag the file to the desktop then open it im Imovie (this takes a too much time)

Actually when I launched Imovie for the first time it automatically imported my videos which were in Iphoto and then it appeared on the upper left box - but now it doesnt do it anymore

hope I was able to explain clearly my question

Appreciate you help :)

thanks!
