brendoman.com — Here's a mockup of a better iMovie. There's a lot to like about the new iMovie, but the timeline and editing control sucks. One way to fix the problem is to bring back the iMovie 06 timeline and all the controls that went with it. From here: http://brendoman.com/dbc/2007/09/02/imovie_08

That's brilliantly better than what is there now, or maybe a setting to enter 'expert mode.' Why dumb it down so much, I guess it makes that jump for Final cut a lot closer to a lot of people.One smart move was to not remove the old iMovie.Lolcats rule.

There is room for iMovie to have advanced features alongside Final Cut - I should hope thats not what they're worried about. I suspect they just wanted to make it easier for all computer users to hack together youtube movies, and botched a lot of the app's core usefulness in the process.

There is a huge opportunity here for someone to swoop in and eat Apple's lunch in this area, and that doesn't happen often. This alleged engineer who 'couldn't make a movie in 30 minutes' with iMovie must have the editing skills of a baboon with Down's syndrome.Unfortunately, going to Final Cut for home movies is just going to frustrate any reasonable person. FCP has over 1400 pages of documentation.
