yes, there is an import feature in iMovie 08.
you just think about it and realized that it is a memory card
To copy an iMovie project from another computer, first locate the project file on that computer, which is typically stored in the "Movies" folder under "iMovie Projects." You can then transfer the project file to your own computer using a USB drive, external hard drive, or cloud storage service. Once transferred, open iMovie on your computer, and import the project file by dragging it into the iMovie interface or using the "File" menu to open it. Make sure you also transfer any associated media files if necessary.
To transfer movies from the Sony DCR-TRV19 you need to connect the camera to the computer with a FireWire cable (Sony calls FireWire iLink but it is the same thing). iMovie will recognise the camera and let you control the camera's operations from within iMovie. in iMovie select Import From Camera in the File menu.

iMovie on the mac is for editing your unedited movies that you may have filmed on PhotoBooth, or just made on a video camera. You can cut out parts, and add some things and then you have a great movie from the movie you already had.
Movie files should be .m4v files (this is achievable by sharing a movie in iMovie using the iPod feature if you have iMovie from any of the iLife series that Apple makes).
You can't edit iPod movies on a PC. No available PC software can export movies from a video editing software into an iPod compatible format. iMovie, only available for a Mac, is recommended with editing iPod movies, since iMovie is compatible with the .m4v file and can export the file back to a .m4v after editing is done. .m4v files are the iPod compatible files.
No FinalCutPro is also a video editor for Mac
