TOON.B  The first time you run iMovie09 it will try to import your iPhoto-movies.

For some reason this is not indicated during the first startup of iMovie09.

iMovie09 will therefore seem to hang during it's first startup.

(you will even get the "iMovie - application not responding" indication in the "mouseover-popup on your iMovie-icon in the Dock" and in the ForceQuit-menu)

Do not despair !

Just sit your time out - wait - wait - wait...

Do not interrupt iMovie.

Finally (it might take hours...) iMovie will revive...

(just like Jesus form the tomb - a miracle)

And all your iPhoto-movies will be available from within iMovie.

Good Luck !
