Endles "Updating Aperture Videos Event"... can't use iMovie now..

Hi All,

I upgraded to iLife 11 today, and at first launch, iMovie updated some stuff and went on to Updating Aperture Videos Event (Scanning for new videos in your Aperture library...)

It's been doing so now for 4+ hours, and is getting nowhere!

Force quitting does not make a difference.

MBP 15", Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Worked well for me! The iMovie process did re-create the deleted folder iMovie-Thumbnails folder within 10 minutes for my rather large aperture 3.1 photo library (370GB). I don't have many videos there, though.
The iLifeShare Folder didn't show up again yet. Maybe that one is obsolete or will be created by an other process.

Thanks a lot!

Than you very much, danylavoie. Your work-around did the trick. I have spent multiple hours letting iMovie '11v.9.0, run without being able to import the Aperture videos. After reading your solution and following your instructions, the application now works. How did you come up with this solution? How did you know what files to delete without wrecking everything? Is there a site or some general rules that one follows when applications are not functioning properly? I usually try, to reset the PRAM, make sure I have the latest updates, and then research the Apple forums. Your solution is ingenious but not obvious.
Thanks Again,
