I'm brand new to macs. Only had mine for a week. Last night decided to have a play with iMovie. It imported all my videos from iPhoto and i was messing around with titles and transitions. When doing a full screen preview the whole computer crashed (MBP 15" 2.8)... I have no idea why. I gave it some time but in the end I had to hold down the power button and power back up - having lost all my work.

Questions are has anyone experienced this before? And what's standard procodeure when a mac freezes up - obv i'm familiar with the windows ctrl alt delete, alt-f4 and ctrl-c functions but don't know if there are commands for a mac.

Thanks.
