How to Get Photo Booth Videos to an iMovie

You can import a Photo Booth video into iMovie on a Mac.

Every recently made Mac comes with Photo Booth, a free application for taking pictures and videos through the computer's camera. You can use Photo Booth to record a video of yourself and then email it to a friend. You might also want to edit videos that you shoot with Photo Booth into a movie that you are making with iMovie, the free movie-making application that Apple installs on every recently made Mac.

Instructions

1. Click on the icon of iMovie in the Dock of your Mac to launch the application.

2. Click "File" from the iMovie menu, then click "Import," "Movies." A dialog box opens.

3. Click on your home folder, then click on "Pictures," and then double-click on the Photo Booth folder to open it. A list of the movies that you shot with Photo Booth appears.

4. Click on a Photo Booth movie file from the list to select it.

5. Click "Import." The Photo Booth video now imports into iMovie.
