Hi, i'm in the middle of making an iMovie in OSX. Everything is working great, except I would like to toss in some still pics I took with a digital camera as well. I went to File > Import... and browsed to my Pictures folder, but iMovie would only allow me to import a few selected jpg's (naturally, the ones I don't need).

Does anyone know why this is or better yet how I can get iMovie to import the rest of my jpg's? I have Graphic Converter, so I can tweak the picture's settings or whatever, but I don't know what to do. Thanks in advance for any help!

iMovie is filtering out the other files because of their creator and/or type.
Go to version tracker and download "Changior" (it's free).
Then all you do is drop the file (or files) you want to import on Changior, you'll get a dialog box. Select one of the files that iMovie lets you import and that should do it.

You may have to quit iMovie and relaunch it to get it to recognize the files...

I've reported this as a bug under Mac OS X.

I use Image Capture to download the messages from my camera. Mac OS X recognises them as JPEG images based on the extension. IMO iMovie should be able to do so too.

It could be that this is a QuickTime *feature* though as iMovie probably uses QuickTime to decide which image types it can read.
