For iLife '08 iMovie Critics

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Looks like iMovie is coming along...

iMovie 7.1 addresses several areas including video and audio editing capabilities, and performance associated with opening and switching iMovie Events and Projects. In addition, the update also supports general compatibility issues, improves overall stability, and addresses a number of other minor issues.

Among the new features delivered with the release is Multiple Clip Selection, which lets users select multiple clips in order to assign keywords, paste adjustments or reorganize clips in projects more quickly than before. Similarly, a Fine Tuning feature allows users to quickly refine the start or end frame for any clip without leaving the Project view.

iMovie 7.1 also introduces Still Frame Creation, which freezes the video action for creating a dramatic ending or applying the “Ken Burns” effect on any frame of a video clip.

Other features delivered in the release include Frame-by-Frame trimming, Audio Ducking level control, Manual Audio Fades, a duration settings for Transitions and Stills, an option to show the current playhead time, and other performance improvements that allow users to enjoy their video more quickly by switching between Events.

I actually like the new iMovie. Quick and easy to make videos. If I want something more I can fire up Finalcut Pro but for quick vids to share of projects iMovie is great for last minute media presentations.

I take back everything I said. Now having spent time with both versions I have to say the old iMovie was much easier to use.

I did like how the new iMovie handled making clips and the scrolling feature was neat. If they could keep the old iMovie but just add the..... actually nevermind, iMovie 06 was just about perfect for me after actually spending time with it.
