Imovie except the latest versions does a nice job. Importing and rendering take a long time on my old G4 MDD dual 887 even with 2gigs of ram and SATA drive. My G5 1.8 with 2 gigs is twice to 3 times as fast at the same tasks. A good AGP video card helps as well. Good luck! I also miss my Amiga 3000. It was able to do many things very well and with minimal memory an OS overhead.
