Rich,
I'm pretty sure my friend imported them all manually from a folder on his
machine. All of the JPEGs for my particular videos weren't stored in iPhoto,
so I had to import them from a folder as well. Plus, on some of them I
create 2 versions of the photo: one completely desaturated to black & white;
the other with a portion of the photo in color, and the rest desaturated.
Rather than do all this and then import into iPhoto, I just pull them in
from the folder.
