I recently got a copy of iLife 09 and installed it on my laptop. So far I’m loving iPhoto (photo map, and face detection/tagging is awesome!) and Garageband, but iMovie is just about as bad as the last version. I really can’t comprehend why Apple made such drastic and terrible changes to iMovie HD. It was fast, easy, and gave you tons of effects and control over your video. The two latest versions are just plain crap.
It’s like they decided to take everything that one would generally expect in video editing software, like a timeline and video effects, and just feed it to some nearby dogs, then replace those features with mounds of upsettingly bad ideas. It’s not like Apple doesn’t realize it’s terrible. They used to have iMovie HD available for download on their website because they knew no one wanted 08. I assume taking the download off their site means they are in denial now.
This video took me over an hour to edit. It made me extremely angry, and I refuse to use it ever again. Actually not really.
