So this is the error message I get when trying to use iMovie for iPhone - iMovie cannot access your photos or videos To enable access, open the settings app, tap General, then tap Location Services and then set the iMovie switch to On. (pic - http://twitpic.com/2269ze ).The question is Why? What if I dont want my videos to include geo location data? Why does iMovie need location services to start a project? It doest make any sense to me. I understand that some of the themes may have features for using location data, but shouldnt that be at the users discretion?

Agreed, this is bs. I always keep location services off for camera. Why should I have to let an app use location services for it to work? What was the whole point in it asking in the first place?

I find this rather odd as well. I keep location services turned off for the camera so why iMovie would need to access data that isnt there is beyond me. I think its just poor programing on Apples part. It would be just as easy to ignore any location data if you have that turned off and you happen to pick a picture or video that has it embedded.
