Subject: Re: [CGUYS] iMove HD 5.0 question
Quite a lot depends on the speed of your machine. Given that
you are not running the latest version of iMovie (the last iMovie
to call itself "HD" was version 6 and the most recent version
of iMovie is version 7), I suspect that your experience is not
out of line for your hardware.
I think that iMovie HD 5.0 was current for PowerPC macs mostly
running at less than 1 GHz, and I recall that for them, some
tasks had to be set up to work overnight.
If your Mac will support it, try using iMovie HD 6 (which has
a design similar to iMovie HD 5) or even iMovie 7 (radically
redesigned) to see if they are better optimized. Apple made
iMovie HD 6 a free download because many users were
disgruntled with the redesign of iMovie 7.
