<\/p>\nI finally had the time to go to an Apple Retail Store to pick up iLife ’08 and iWork ’08 today. Well, it’s because all the Apple Retail Stores nearby, about 7 of them didn’t have iLife ’08 in stock on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Anyway, after playing with iMovie ’08 for 30 minutes or so, I missed iMovie HD (iMovie 6.x) already. Apple is apparently aware of this.<\/p>\n
First, iLife ’08 installer actually preserves iMovie HD application and moved it into “iMovie (previous version)” folder inside the Applications folder.<\/p>\n

Second, Apple has made iMovie HD 6.0.4 as a free download for any iLife ’08 owner. About iMovie HD 6<\/strong> System Requirements<\/p>\n UPDATED<\/strong> (08.09.2007 09:50AM) iMovie ’08 runs fast on my MacBook Pro Core Duo (early 2006). I can easily scrub scrub movie clips without any slowdowns at all. One thing I really hate about iMovie HD is the titling options. Sometimes you want to have a subtitle to last 6 seconds, and iMovie HD only allows maximum of 5.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n

\niMovie HD 6, previously distributed with iLife \u201906, is available for download for those who have purchased and installed iLife \u201908<\/p>\n\n
\nSo far, I don’t like using iMovie ’08.<\/strike> Actually now I prefer using Final Cut Express and Final Cut Pro (because there are a lot of things that I can’t do in iMovie HD). Don’t get me wrong, I still need to sit down and use iMovie ’08 for a while and figure out a way to get comfortable with it. Previous versions of iMovie HD are a lot more simplistic, and yet lacking many editing features. Apple has made such drastic changes to the interface, it takes time to get used to it.<\/p>\n
