[MacDV] Screenshot to iMovie

[Steve Robertson]

I usually use screen shots in a "Ken Burns Effect" sequence. While I  
use FCE as my primary editor, I often create my pan and scan  
sequences in iMovie. I discovered (by accident) that iPhoto seems to  
play a role in optimizing stills for use in iMovie. I never worry  
about resolution or pixel shape (except to make sure my original  
stills or screen shots have a large enough size measured in pixels).  
Just the act of opening your media storage bin in iMovie and choosing  
a photo from the iPhoto selection always does a pretty good job for me.
