Hi Stephen, the new imovie is set up differently - it allows you to review clips quickly to decide what to include and not include. I had four days of video from a trip, and found it very difficult, without watching hours of tape, to work out what to include in my final movie. So, it has a new 'tool' which the old iMovie didn't have.

The new imovie isn't bad at all, its just quite different - they perhaps should have given it a new name.

I'm absolutely delighted with it. I think Apple have done a good job here, and they haven't taken away the old version, they even make it available to everyone who buys iLife 08, regardless of whether they owned iLife 06 or not.

I'm sure there will be lots of people like me who prefer the new version.

cheers, Susan.

My goodness !!
I am pleased that I discovered how sadly lacking the new iMovie is before I got too far with my latest project. I kept thinking "OK think positive .. I will look for the other editing tools when I get further along with this".
However this discussion prompted me to take a closer look.
I do not understand Apple's logic here.
How does removing all these tools make it quicker to use ?
If you want to make a movie fast, just don't use all the tools.
But for heavens sake leave them there for those who need them.
As for using Final Cut ..... why pay for it when it is available in iMovie ?

VERY BAD MOVE APPLE !!!!
