< ILife

iMovie is part of the iLife suite. It is integrated with iPhoto, iTunes, iDVD, GarageBand and iWeb as part of the suite.

New features include:

  • Five Apple-designed iMovie "Themes". Designed for ease of use, the user can easily drop movie clips or photos into preset themes to give the project a professional look. Each theme includes full motion-graphic bumpers and transitions.
  • Real-time effects. There is no longer the need to wait for rendering because iMovie takes advantage of the user's graphic processing unit in their computer.
  • Cinematic real-time titling
  • Enhanced Audio tools and effects
  • Multiple open projects
  • Video Podcasts and blogs (using integration with iWeb)
  • Refined look based on iTunes 5 and 6.
