How to Transfer iTunes Video to Camera Roll iPhone for Editing

I have purchased and downloaded some iTunes M4V movies on my iPhone. I am in need of cutting and editing the videos before I share them with my family. However, the free iPhone video editor doesn't detect any of my downloaded movies except the ones from the camera roll. I wanna know if there is another way to put iTunes movie back to the camera roll for editing. Thanks for any help.

- Question from the Macrumors forum

This is a very common problem. Generally speaking, when you download or sync iTunes movies from iTunes store, they will be stored on the video folder instead of the iPhone camera roll automatically by the system. The video folder is only accessible by the Video app, not by the built-in iPhone video editor or other third-party video editing apps. So here we have to seek another way to edit and transfer M4V video to camera roll iPhone, please just continue with me here.
