iLife 08 Introduced

Just picked up a copy today. Installing it now!

It comes with a disc to install a trial of iWork '08

I think the Events idea is brilliant. Sounds like just what I've needed. I was probabily one of the fer people who was incrediably disapointed with iPhoto where as most people seemed to be in love with it. Just couldn't arrange my stuff the way 'I' wanted to. Annoying. Hopefully this version will give me a little more controle and freedom.

Has anyone tried this on their Hackintoshes ?

What is the lowest version number of Tiger that it will install on ?

I'm still using 10.4.5 myzar as it runs well on my particular hardware and I haven't had much look with some of the newer 10.4.8/10.4.9 DVDs.

Will iLife install on 10.4.5. ?

I found this on the green demion once it's done i'll tell you if it works on my hackintosh.

There's a tracking cookie on it according to Demonoid. You're being watched if you steal this one...

I for one am deeply dissapointed in iMovie 08....they took away every powerful feature that iMovie 6 HD had...and dumbed down this version. It's missing:

Themes

Audio Effects

Video Effects

The Timeline

Having dual audio tracks

Many of the Transitions

Many of the Titles

Those two in red...are MAJOR features...and they were stripped in iMovie 08. In all honesty, this new version (aside looking graphically better) is very, very similar to Windows Movie Maker in terms of capability....iMovie 6 HD was light years ahead.

Apple should have made this into a "mode" in the current iMovie 6 HD....rather than making it into a seperate app. I think that would have been a truly awesome way of doing it....kind of like how Pages has document mode, and page layout (design) mode.

I think I'll stick to iLife 06 for quite a while...unless they are revamping the "real" iMovie...into a seperate app(?).

Thank god I know how to use Final Cut.

Technically iMovie '08 is completely reworked from the ground up. Read this:

In introducing the latest version of iMovie, Jobs told a story about how one of the video engineers at Apple went on vacation and shot video of his trip. When he returned, he wanted to make a short video highlighting his trip, but he wanted to do it in about 30 minutes. The engineer started up iMovie and after a few hours he realized it couldn’t be done. Being an expert in Final Cut Pro, he tried that, but he couldn’t do it there either. So, he wrote an app that would do it.

 

“When we saw it we were blown away,” Jobs said. “We were so blown away, we decided to make it the new iMovie. It’s not an enhancement to the old iMovie, it’s a completely new way of editing video. It is startlingly better.”

 

iMovie adds support for the AVCHD format for High-Definition video. iMovie also adopts the “skimming” feature found in iPhoto—users can skim through videos without having to play clips to see what they contain.

 

You can select pieces of clips by skimming through a clip until you reach the segment you want to include, then clicking. By default, iMovie chooses a two second clip, but you can shorten or lengthen the time by dragging on the slider.

 

When you drag that clip into the media window, you get just the portion of the movie clip you selected. By adding several of these clips and then dropping some transitions between them, you can make a movie.

 

Clips can be reorganized at any time by clicking and dragging them whenever you want them to play.
