It seems like the steps right now are:

Shoot movie
sync iPhone with Mac via iTunes
Open iPhoto
Import photos from iPhone into iPhoto
Open iMovie (or retart if it was already running)
On startup, iMovie detects videos in iPhoto and imports them.

Yikes. Is there an easier way? It's a bit odd that the videos are handled as photos, in the first place.

And no, I'm not jailbreaking my iPhone simply to save me a few of these steps.
