Hello List
There have been debates over the usefulness of iLife 09 verse iLife 08
Do users on the list have a consensus on which version best suits
their need , please ?
Hi Bob,
All depends what best suits your individual needs. iLife '09 has
improvements over iLife '08.
iMovie '09 is much improved to '08. Stabilization & Precision Editing
for me is the best improvement & most important to me.
Video effects rendering in real time is another good feature.
Also the return of iDVD chapter markers and direct-to-iDVD exporting,
and the capability to adjust multiple clips at once.
The return of fast and slow motion I'm pleased to have.
iPhoto '09 Faces is a new way of organising heaps of photos very
quickly and I find that useful.
Places I find very interesting. Places uses embedded GPS data to
place your photos on a map and you can use this information to make
map-based video travelogues. I haven't tried this yet, but it is good
for iPhone shots, the iPhone embeds GPS co-ordinates in every photo it
takes and there are people who use and need GPS information in their
photos.
Facebook and Flickr uploading don't really interest me, but I have
family & friends who love this feature.
Garage Band I don't use, but it has some very good improvements.
Songwriting mode & New Lessons, shows a video and then displays the
chords played on a virtual guitar or piano. It even has a guitar tuner
built in.
iDVD didn't get much of a make-over. I was expecting more, perhaps
Apple will bring out something more when Snow Leopard releases.
iWeb has also improved. Sharing works so effortlessly and quickly with
iLife Media Browser.

Cheers,
Ronni
