Just a quick note to mention that the new imovie HD is really quite a fun and easy to use program. I decided to fire it up last night and I uploaded a small number of my 10-50 sec clips from my digital camera (not a handy cam so low picture quality). Was only mucking around in the program for about an hour or so, and I found it to be straight forward even for an editing beginner. After said hour, I had linked together 5 clips on the timeline, extracted the audio so that I could keep only the sound in each track that I wanted, and I also chopped an audio file up after bringing it over from itunes so that my video could have a sound track. I haven't yet gotten onto the transition of the clips, so that they blend semi-professionally but I thought that for about an hours work, that wasn't too bad, with taking into account first learning some new terminology and what all the commands do (not that hard, cos they've really kept things simple). As soon as I've polished it up a bit more I'll see if I can hook it up for you to have a look and a laugh at. It's all fun though isn't it?
