Answer 1

A GIF is an image file, so you might have trouble getting it to work in iMovie. If you still have all the individual images that make up the movement in your GIF, you can probably jsut import them all into iMovie. If not, you'll probably have to go back into GIMP and seperate, export, and save the different images that make up your GIF as seperate images, then import them into iMovie.
