At the top of the iMovie import window, access the videos from the Photo Library. Below, click “Files” to access additional locations.
1 Import your favorite shots
A lot of image material accumulates during a holiday. Mark your favorite shots that should definitely be included in the video, preferably immediately after recording. So you don’t overlook anything when editing. The easiest way to do this is to use the favorites function in the Photos app and mark your tops with a heart. You should also mark the best take of several recording attempts in this way so that you don’t lose track of the iMovie import.

Pictures from the air, for example from a DJI drone, or underwater recordings from a GoPro give your video even more opportunities to tell the holiday in an attractive way. You need a lot of individual scenes, especially for a fast and dynamic video. Here, too, mark the best recordings in the app of the respective manufacturer and/or delete unsuccessful material. Transfer what you can use to the iPhone, for example to a folder in the Files app.
