I made the switch about a month ago myself. I also upgraded to Quicktime Pro. I have noticed that saving my files on iMovie gives me a much higher resolution, but also a huge file size. With Quicktime Pro I can compress the file size down without losing too much of the resolution. I still post my original files to blip.tv because they have the capability to handle my large files, but other sites that require 100 MB or less require that you compress your file.
In short the quality and the effects with iMovie are much better then with movie maker, but be prepared to deal with large files and getting creative with saving your files so that they can be uploaded everywhere. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Mike Moon" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well, after years of wishing and hoping, I finally have a Mac. > Mac Mini 1.42ghz etc etc. > I've done the updates and am starting to play around with iMovie. > But I guess before I get going too far along this road of unknown destination, I better check > out http://www.freevlog.org to see what setup I should use. > > Anyhow... that's all, go about your day. > > Mike > http://vlog.mikemoon.net >
