I notice in iMovie under the iMovie menu there is a "Provide iMovie Feedback" option were I gave them plenty of feedback. There is also a iMovie Products option which lists lots of external drives etc. Adrian Skehan [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- The WA Macintosh User Group Mailing List -- Archiv

I agree. I have been using iMovie since the days of 400Mhz iMacs and 10Gb drives and have used many different versions in the interim. I know a few people who I have tried to help edit videos in the past but they have still found iMovie too difficult to use. I am happy that a new version

The latest Australian Macworld tells the story of how iMovie7 (in iLife08) came about. Yes it is seriously dumbed down and in my opinion a backward step and a real dog. Are Apple trying to push more serious users towards FinalCut? iMovie7 is really aimed squarely at the novice home-movi
