I go into Import movie HD project, which takes me to finder. There I can click on the cd, and see it's contents, but the clips themselves will not import. (They are light gray and you can't click on them.) I know, I am retarded when it comes to computers... but why is it doing this? And how do I import the clips and add them to imovie?
I have tried that. It STILL doesn't want to import anything....
Yes, the clips will play if I click on them... but even when I save it (which I have already tried) and try to import it from the desktop, it is still a light gray and will not allow me to add it to imovie. Is it possible that I need a program to reformat the movie? Some people have told me this might be the case.

First you have to open up a new project (or existing one) and only after a project is open can you start importing media clips.

In your situation, the program is asking you which project you want to import, not which movie. The movies are grayed out because it's looking for a project.

*edit* Try dragging the movie files from your cd to your desktop. Then import from your desktop.
It's also possible that they are a type of movie file that iMovie doesn't recognize.
Will they play if you simply double click on them?
