“Apple released updates to iLife ’09 and iWork ’09 this week, as usual providing no useful information about what’s changed other than, in the case of iMovie 8.0.1 for example, ‘improves overall application stability as well as addressing minor issues related to usability,'” Jeff Carlson reports for TidBITS. “But the changes are seldom that uninteresting, and I wish Apple would get off its terse horse and provide at least a little more information.”
“The updates here are great for iMovie users. But since the development teams must keep internal lists of what’s changed anyway, is it really so hard to spend an hour and turn those into useful release notes?” Carlson writes. “With that off my chest, here are four things I’ve discovered that are different in iMovie ’09 8.0.1.”
• Split clip keyboard shortcut
• Interlacing bug fixed (Exporting 1080i (interlaced) footage to QuickTime or iDVD)
• Ability to enter coordinates for new map locations
• HD export options (720p, 10 Mbps) to your Mac and YouTube
