Your Flip camcorder records in a standard format that Quicktime can read, so iMovie should be able to read the video files directly from your Flip video camera. You shouldn't need to use the Flip software.
Try importing the movie files directly into your iMovie from your camera. If this does not work, try using Finder to navigate to your camcorder (while connected via USB) and copy the video files to a folder on your Mac. Then iMovie should have no problem importing the files from your hard drive.
