iMovie 08 Tutorials
iMovie ’08 makes viewing and working with video as intuitive as enjoying your photos. A built-in library automatically organizes your video, so all the clips you’ve captured and movies you’ve created are just a click away.
With its revolutionary interface, iMovie makes it quick and easy to browse your library and create new movies. And iMovie is built for sharing. In just a few steps, you can add movies to your website, publish them on YouTube, and create versions for iPod, iPhone, and Apple TV.
iMovie 08 is definitely different from previous versions, in fact Apple are offering the previous version as a download for registered 08 users. There has been a lot of criticism on the web regarding the latest version but the fact is it does make film production much quicker.

The serious amateur film maker is going to find themselves using Final Cut Express rather than iMovie from now on, although this is likely to have been Apple’s plan.
If you want to add a professional look to your short YouTube or iPod video then iMovie is definitely the easiest and quickest tool for the job and it is no way lightweight with it’s support for High Definition.
