Apple Releases iMovie ’09 8.0.4

Jeff Carlson's avatar Jeff Carlson on July 17, 2009

iMovie ’09 8.0.4 is out and deals with three issues:

  • Video captured on the iPhone 3GS in portrait orientation is now rotated correctly.
  • Adding multiple beat markers in some languages no longer causes instability.
  • Using the fine-tuning editing controls beyond stabilized portions of a clip no longer freezes iMovie.

Kudos to Apple for providing specific release notes; unlike earlier updates to iMovie ’09, there are no other undocumented changes in this release (see my TidBITS article “iMovie ’09 8.0.3 Adds New Hidden Features,” 2009-06-05). The update is available via Software Update or as a standalone download. (Free, 35 MB)
