I have no magic way to import video into the easy editor. All I do is to click the folder icon on the top left for importing videos and photos. I then browse to the locations on the hard drive for assets much the same way I do it on the full editor.
The above assets import properly on my pc. The camcorder videos are all previously imported to the hard drive without using PD12.
My previous comment was for the action template. The filmstrip template do allow you to change the titling. Select Produce and the full editor opens. I produce to wmv and the created video works just fine.
