FANTASTIC!<\/p>\n

When iMovie 08 came out there was a tremendous uproar from the fans of the prior iMovie versions. This new version was dramatically different than prior versions and frankly, wasn’t finished.<\/p>\n

In January, iMovie 09 was introduced at MacWorld and what a difference the new version is! Many of the disparagers now agree that while different, iMovie is no longer incomplete. It is just different.<\/p>\n

I’ve made films<\/a> with iMovie (both types), Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro\/Studio. The pre-iMovie 08 version, Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro were all the same type of film-editing application. Typically referred to as \u00c2\u00a0a non-linear editing<\/a> tool, the concept is to roughly approximate the work flow one performs in editing movies using the older tape-based process. Much of the terms –bins and clips\u00c2\u00a0— used in Final Cut, are the same used for years in the film industry.<\/p>\n

Though, iMovie 09 came from the same mind that created previous NLE’s such as Premiere and Final Cut, Randy Ubillos<\/a>, this one came out different. \u00c2\u00a0iMovie 09 isn’t a reduced feature set (dumbed down) NLE, it is a new way of editing. That is going to create some unhappy experienced film-makers. That said, iMovie 09 could get a lot of people that were not editing videos, editing.<\/p>\n

Why? NLE takes time and its not intuitive to the novice. I remember reading a review of iMovie, probably around 2004, that complained how difficult and time-consuming creating a video took. I was a bit taken back since I do believe “anything that is worth while doing takes time”. I also had my own issues with iMovie, quickly moving to Final Cut Express due to the limitations of iMovie. Ultimately, I moved to Final Cut Studio, with which I struggle, but have the ultimate in flexibility and power.<\/p>\n

Over the next few days, I’ll detail the differences and value of iMovie 09, particularly in how its a great film editor to pair with the Flip Ultra HD<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Ken Stone<\/a> has an outstanding and detailed review of iMovie<\/a>, I suggest reading it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
