- hollywoodphony, on 10/10/2007, -8/+31Wait, this won't run on system 7?
- gravis86, on 10/10/2007, -0/+21Actually, if you are upgrading from iLife '06 it keeps the old version of iMovie HD in a folder titled "iMovie (previous version)" in Applications. This way you don't have to download it.
- tsunamisteve, on 10/10/2007, -1/+19No one said change is easy. Part of the problem might be that people think they want iMovie but really want Final Cut Express. iMovie 08 has to exist for moms and dads, skateboarders, and myspace teens. Prosumers or probably most Digg users are better off with Final Cut Pro or Express. Of course, for sure by April next year this should all be in Final Cut. The live video industry has a lot to gain from "skimming" and the general interface from yeah, iMovie.
- skoot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+18Whew, I thought I was going insane when I couldn't find plugins, transitions, or my old projects in their edited forms. click, DOWNLOAD!
- terracottapai, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13Some youngins seem to have missed the joke..
- RunWithScissors, on 10/10/2007, -3/+12"iMovie HD users get free iLife '08 download" would have been a much better digg.
- ciano, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8The new iMovie is a completely new program. Some people might still want the old one.
- MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Many people still using an older G4 Mac won't be able to use the new version. Apple doesn't have to make the older version available. It's a nice touch for people still on legacy machines.
- kingyubba, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6it's because the new iMovie won't run on a G4. :-(
- Gundark, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6It's pretty processor intensive. I watched the demo Steve Jobs did and you can scrub through any video clip just by waving your mouse over it. I don't imagine that comes cheap (speaking of processor cycles).
- turpenine, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6final cut express has a learning curve much larger than imovie, they need to add some more tools to make it simpler before it can replace imovie.
- habbofresh, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5namedropper.
- pierrefilms, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5iMovie '08 DOES work on PowerPC. Get your facts straight. From the iLife page:
iMovie requires a Mac with an Intel processor, a Power Mac G5 (dual 2.0GHz or faster), or an iMac G5 (1.9GHz or faster). - fribhey, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5from my understanding, the last version of iMovie 6 was 6.03, the download on apple's site is 6.04.... so it may be worth downloading
- MeneL001, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7Now we are talking, Apple really got this one right. I appreciate this effort, now I don't have to keep my old copy of iLife '06 and sell it with my MacMini.
- titanicfan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5thank goodness
- zweben, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Just out of curiosity (I already have iMovie HD) does it do any check to see if you have iLife '08 installed, or is it basically available to anyone?
- terinjokes, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4There are those of us still running on older Apple computers, and can't run the current version of iMovie. This includes me, as I run a iBook G4 - August 2005. Then again, I currently have no version of iLife, didn't come with my mac. I was going to get iLife '08 until I learned that the new iMovie wouldn't work...
- MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7and you felt the need to make a stupid old comment without a hint of originality like this because...?
- iapx, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I am sad to see that buyer of Powerbooks, top-of-the-line professional notebooks (as Apple intend it), less than 2 years ago, is no more supported by Apple, even for it's mainstream products!
Giving away nearly $3000 for a powerbook, memory upgrade, disk upgrade and Apple Care, and now, my december'05 top-notch laptop seems just to be ignored by Apple.
This is an investment to buy a Powerbook, an investment that has a sense within a 3-years timeframe( for myself), but less than 2 years after it's availability, Apple drop support! - MacParrot, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I'll hold off on judging iMovie 08 until I can try it myself. For what it's worth, I think the timeline view (a basic concept for almost every digital movie editor on either Mac or Windows) is a great way to edit your content. It's hard to tell exactly how the new one operates from just the videos online.
- misbehavior, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3You don't need an Intel machine, but it does supposedly require a G5.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305918 - informality, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Impossible? Some Macs are second-hand.
Especially older ones. - ThreeDee912, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Wobbly text? Make sure you actually exported the movie in the right format... The preview window is, well only a low-quailty preview.
- fanclerks, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I don't understand why people would need to download this. I did the upgrade and I still have iMovie HD in a folder right under the new iMovie. It's also v. 6.0.4. I guess if you delete it?
- mdoom, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5And I was looking forward to running iMovie on my System 7.5.3 PowerMac 6400...
The good old days... - sonofalink, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2There are no new templates... actually there are no templates at all.
Kinda the whole point of having iMovie '06 to download. - hollywoodphony, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Nope, I run Tiger, but when I installed it, it left the version of iMovie from 10.2 intact.
- Alegoo92, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2iMovie HD is much better for my needs. It just works easier for the type of movies I make.
- darkamster07, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2you are probably right, from what I saw of the app, it takes a lot of juice to produce all those fancy features, I mean you still have to support people like me who are running Tiger on ancient G4s, or worse. Still, good move, I think.
- cwoolf34, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I use FCP, but I picked up the new iLife for the new iPhoto mainly. I tried out iMovie and I must say it takes some getting used to , but it is an amazing app, that is a big leap and it really does speed up the process a lot. I just wish Apple put the skimming into FCS 2. Maybe they will announce a free download for FCS 2 owners that adds skimming features due to the demand?
- iSmart, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3here's your sign...
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3Messed up isnt it? You buy a mac thats only a year or so old and it can't even run the new software, im in the same boat with a 17in powerbook ppc
- macfoo, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2been following a few support threads at Apple - alot of people are VERY unhappy with what Apple has done to the supposed "upgrade" of iMovie.
- hollywoodphony, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Nope, I tried it. It checks to see if you have iLife '08 first. I am still using the crappy iMovie copy that came with 10.2 before they made iLife seperate.
- miniboss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2What exactly happened with iMovie (and I'm not asking for a recap of someones caman islands trip epiphany)? I do see how iMovie 08 improves the speed of video editing but he omission of so many things important in iMovie 06 are just plain odd. Did they rush it out the door? Or maybe was this the reason iLife took so long?
It's just a bit confusing that now I have to manage two apps called iMovie because neither does everything I want. Maybe they should've called it something else to avoid the confusion. - johnpaul191, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2not supported does not always mean it won't work. the way Mac systems come out, and older PowerMac is going to be a lot faster than the same speed processor in an iMac/iBook. they are probably trying to make it as unconfusing as possible.
i was able to shoehorn an old garage band on an older unsupported Mac. i didn't try to do crazy processing or effects, but wanted it on an old ibook so i could use it to record. easier than lugging around a tower. - streak, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2It might be the graphics card is insufficient (I have no idea what the two systems would minimallly have), or simply that it hasn't been verified to work. You might just try it.
- jamesburton1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I bought iLife '08 from the store today and it automatically kept a copy of iMovie HD in an "Old iMovie" folder under Applications.
So, what's this all about!? - mediaphile, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Give QS a few minutes to update its catalog. It probably just doesn't see it yet. If that's not the case, you can always give extra weight to the new one, and devalue the old one.
- stmiller, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Lots of people are upset with the new iMovie app. Engadget has some comments: http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/09/how-would-you-change-imovie-08-special-emergency-software-edit/
- thickdrummer, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1True, but I remember when Aperture was released and if you didnt have the stated minumum amount of RAM, it wouldn't install on your system. No shoehorning there, just no install.Period.
- MinnesotaTwins, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I can see where people still want some of the more advanced features without going all the way to a professional type software.
I personally love the new version. All I want to do is import my videos from my digicam and upload them to youtube. This new version makes this a breeze for me, and I love it. - afwjam, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2deal with it. In a lot of ways you are lucky cause my core duo has a lot of permanent issues.
- Chuck0078, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1just because one app won't run on a machine doesn't mean they "dropped support"
- humperdeath, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Hey guys, I figured I get dugg down with such a comment in an obviously 'Apple' thread, but come on, look at what's happenning. The slogan is "Think Different" so, lets get some new themes. Pick a different letter already! (PS. IBM already had an 'i' long time ago, the best computer system out there is the iSeries!)
- miniboss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1One thing that's suddenly pissing me off is that quicksilver pulls the old one when I type "iMovie" It would've made more sense to call it iVideo (or iMovie) express or something.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1It's probably been updated so it can be installed individually, and to check for iLife 08, sounds like a x.x.1 upgrade to me.
- obey43, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1where are all the videoFX's? that was the best thing about making my ***** slideshows and movies somewhat bearable to watch.
- razicop, on 04/19/2008, -0/+1that's nice, thanks for share this...
