ZDNet Reviews iMovie

Posted by pudge on from the ismile-for-the-icamera dept.

ajw1976 writes "David Coursey of ZDNet reviews iMovie in his 'Month on Mac' series. It's a pretty a good article that tells how easy it is to create a movie and burn a DVD." A lot of people seem to think home movies/photos/music (the Apple "Digital Hub") is the killer app for consumer Macs these days. iPhoto has a long way to go, but iTunes works great, and I've heard little but good about iMovie.

  1. New Virtix plugins for iMovie by nedron · · Score: 4, Informative
    Virtix has released plugins for iMovie (X and classic) that include both effects (Bravo) and transitions (Echo).

    They were well worth the $39 I spent on them. You can see a quickie test I did with the "Sparkle" transition, which is basically a transporter effect.

    I agree with everyone who says that iMovie is the best entry level editor around. For one-offs and quickies (like the above), I use iMovie and iDVD. For more involved projects, I own Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro.
