I used to be able to select a frame in the event window and add it to the end of my porject. Then I could reveal it in finder and use it in the drop zones. With iMovie 11 I don't seem to have the option anymore. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks

Yes.
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
Here is a video I made that steps through this...

Thanks, AppleMan. Very helpful!
