How can I save video clips from imovie to iphoto?

I was able to import movie clips from my camera to imovie but not iphoto. Now I am trying to get them into iphoto from imovie and cannot.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

One way would be to select the video clip in iMovie and do a File/Reveal in Finder. An original media folder will pop up with the name of the selected clip highlighted. While holding down the Option key copy drag the video clip from the original media folder to your desktop. From there you can drag it into the Photos library (or the iPhoto library if you are using iPhoto).


Also, you can control click on the clip on your desktop and from the drop down menu click on Share/Add to Photos. That will add the clip to your Photos app library. Not sure if that option exists for iPhoto.
