“I’m one of those people who thought iMovie ’08 was pretty okay. It advanced consumer video editing on the Mac in several ways, such as having live transitions and effects that don’t require re-rendering clips and putting your entire video library at your fingers without opening old projects,” Jeff Carlson reports for TidBITS.
“But iMovie ’08, having been written from scratch as a new application, was sparse in many areas, especially compared to iMovie HD 6. The good news is that iMovie ’09 restores most of iMovie HD’s features. The better news is that iMovie ’09 boasts a lot of other new features and hidden secrets that aren’t immediately apparent,” Carlson reports.
10 Secrets of Apple’s new iMovie ’09:
1. Double-click Clip to View Inspector
2. View Your Movie on a Secondary Display
3. Copy and Paste Adjustments
4. Move Projects and Events to Other Drives
5. Choose Which Clips Appear in Theme Transitions
6. Consistent Map Styles in Themes
7. Add Locations to Travel Maps
8. The Date/Time Title
9. View Photos from Same Time Period
10. Adjust the Opacity of a Cutaway
