Apple Grrl

I have never used iMovie to make a movie.

Pick your jaws up off the floor! Seriously! What???

I am no cinematographer. I have enough trouble getting good images with a digital camera, and these days they do a lot of the work for you. Also, both myself and my honey are camera shy. If we won’t sit still for a snap shot, how can you expect us to be the focus of a movie? I have friends who make movies all the time, like one of my best friends Meleah. She is living proof of just how intuitive Macs are. She went from knowing not one single thing about Macs, movies or laptops last year when she got her MacBook to making frequent home movies of family events and video blogs. In fact, movies have become a much loved way of keeping her extensive family together and up to date on each other’s lives.

Regardless, there has been buzz around the interwebs that while overall iLife ’08 improved the rest of the programs (GarageBand, iWeb and iPhoto), iMovie actually took a step backward. I find this interesting because Apple doesn’t usually lose ground on their own software. I’d love to hear from readers who are using iMovie ’08 what they think, since I obviously can have no opinion on this one. I’ll make songs, podcasts and ringtones in GarageBand and iTunes all day long, but no movies for me!
