When you open up iMovie it should show you a folder called "iPhoto videos" you work with them right from there or make a new event. I know there is a way in iphoto to prevent it from importing videos..I just forget how

 

Those are incredibly fun to put together; it's a real challenge, some times, to pick just the right scenes to include.
You did a nice job, and it's clear that you (and your daughter) are having a great time (I wish I had chosen Dozer rather than black; it looks great!).

Since I saw some familiar locations (Eureka Dunes?), I have attached a link to a similar iMovie trailer, limited to a trip to Death Valley that I took earlier this year with my son. Hope you don't mind me adding it here, but I thought you'd enjoy it:

Loved it! I wan't more.

 

Yes it was Eureka Dunes, DV is one of my favorite places. I liked your clip I will have to try that color fade very cool.
