It's best if you import all of your video into Events in iMovie, rather than importing it to iPhoto. Just use iPhoto for your photos and iMovie for videos (horses for courses, so to speak). Although, as I've explained above, at least iMovie does create an Event for you for those videos in iPhoto. It's much more efficient to have all your video in one place, where you can create separate Events in iMovie for each of your videos.
Here's the procedure for transferring a 'Live' photo taken on an iPhone 6 on to a Mac and then into iMovie or Photos as a movie file: Connect your iPhone to your Mac using a USB cable Open 'Photos' on the Mac. Select your phone icon should be under a grey 'Import' title in the sidebar. This is where I import GoPro clips, photos, any kind of video files. I don’t use iMovie’s importer. I don’t use iMovie’s importer. How to import GoPro Clips to iMovie is going to depend on your own preference here, because there is more than one way to do it. Once they are on my hard drive, then I open up iMovie and start a new project.
I think you will find iMovie easy to use once you become familiar with it. There are plenty of Help articles and tutorials available for it (for starters, look in the iMovie menu item Help > iMovie Help).
My understanding is that iMovie '11 is more powerful and feature rich than Windows Movie Maker, but I have no personal experience with the latter (nor do I wish to). ?
Please don't hesitate to post here for help whenever needed. Also, if you need further references to tutorials and so forth, please ask.
