That being said, the person who wrote this article is ridiculous. If one were to compare iMovie HD and iMovie '08 to Final Cut Pro, it would be obvious which one comes closer to the professional interface and workflow of a professional-grade software such as Final Cut. <br /><br />Don't be fooled, iMovie '08 is a dumbed-down version of iMovie HD meant to appeal to those who are completely incompetent when it comes to editing and producing videos. The interface is not user friendly and the absence of certain features far outweighs those added and retained in iMovie '08. I love apple and their products, but iMovie '08 proves that even the best of companies aren't immune to stupid ideas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645738234329240600.post-76648837117841166162009-12-27T10:56:34.996-07:002009-12-27T10:56:34.996-07:00to gfwmac-

While yes, it does have some amazing features, the lack of basic video edits is astounding. A more than major oversight by its creators. I would definitely stay away. Just go for the 06 version. It covers the basics much better.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03601145026966300892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645738234329240600.post-25532397812705703272009-01-28T01:45:00.000-07:002009-01-28T01:45:00.000-07:00Hello!

Maybe you can help me...<BR/><BR/>I'm currently using my boyfriend's old macbook pro, and I recently got a Sony HDR-SR11 video camera for Christmas. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to upload the video from the camera to the computer -the still photos will upload, but not the videos.<BR/><BR/>Every website I've checked has told me I need a firewire cable...But I'm sure this isn't true. I'm in Russia at the moment, and we tested uploading video to my laptop while I was in the states before I left, and I'm only supposed to need the USB cable. But it won't upload! I have iMovieHD...do I need iMovie 08 to do this? I've searched my computer and I don't have iMovie 08 --so then how did the footage from my camera get onto my computer when I was in the states?!<BR/>When I plug the video camera into my computer, a "USB SELECT" screen comes up with only 4 options- "USB CONNECT", "USB CONNECT" (with a different picture), "PRINT" and "DISC BURN". None of them seem to work. My computer will recognise the camera is there, but will only open the still photographs, not the movies. It says that I don't have a program that can even open the folders where I think the movies are.<BR/><BR/>I'm a little hopeless when it comes to computers, please help!Biminihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11288479332879279229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645738234329240600.post-54779871947571379342008-12-31T14:38:00.000-07:002008-12-31T14:38:00.000-07:00Can I crop photos that I've imported from iphoto i...Can I crop photos that I've imported from iphoto into an imovie project. When I select the picture, it doesn't stay 'selected' when I hit crop. Also can I use multiple photos over video that cut and/or dissolve into each other without revealing the video underneath. In other words can I use photos to cover a whole section of video?Harold Abramshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07148144739159325960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645738234329240600.post-2472497905321934712008-12-14T08:18:00.000-07:002008-12-14T08:18:00.000-07:00As a new user I have just discovered your blog - l...As a new user I have just discovered your blog - looks really very useful thanks. I was seeking a method to extract still images from iMovie08 & discovered that having downloaded the iMovieHD06 application I can capture 08 event footage in HD06 and use the create still image option. I then wondered whether this technique could be used to apply HD06 effects to clips from events captured in 08 and found that they can and that by exporting the modified clip back to Quicktime it can then be imported to 08. Obviously all this is somewhat cumbersome, however as I will only be applying SFX to a limited number of clips it’ll do the job.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645738234329240600.post-44073850772515048202008-12-08T15:32:00.000-07:002008-12-08T15:32:00.000-07:00"If you were a heavy iMovie HD user, the editing p..."If you were a heavy iMovie HD user, the editing process may confuse you at first.

I am trying to figure out if it is possible and i haven't been able to do it so far. Surely you can add more than one title to a long clip. I would just cut it and break it up but I hate to do that for fear of losing some transition quality as the clip is continuos conversation.

I was very skeptic when it lauched but I thought that it had to be "learned" from scratch just as you experienced at the begining, except I was working on FCExpress and not in HDMovie6. I wish they would implement skiming and generating titles, transitions and audio with color correction on the fly, that alone would be better than the price of admission Keep the good work.<BR/>Thank You<BR/>LuisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645738234329240600.post-73979777621283073652007-10-23T19:33:00.000-06:002007-10-23T19:33:00.000-06:00"discover that it may take a long, long time to ma..."discover that it may take a long, long time to make thumbnails for your footage"<BR/><BR/>No kidding... I have imported a few MOV files into iMovie 08, and am stuck with about 45 minutes remaining to generate the thumbnails... And there is no way to cancel the operation! I don't want to force quit iMovie as I fear I might corrupt my project database, so it seems like I have no choice but to let it run until it is complete, even though I don't really care for this footage (I was just doing some tests with iMovie 08).<BR/><BR/>Ah well...Pascal Bourquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01851307311739790760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5645738234329240600.post-68261271816053325082007-10-23T18:33:00.000-06:002007-10-23T18:33:00.000-06:00Again, your site is an incredible resource.
