iMovie 4 Tips from Apple
While playing with a copy of iMovie 4 on the Macworld Expo show floor, I spied an “iMovie Tips” item in the iMovie menu, which leads to an Apple Web page of iMovie tips. Print it out for an easy reference, or to bone up on some of the changes in iMovie 4 when iLife ...
iLife ’04 with iMovie 4
Apple announced iLife ’04 at Macworld Expo today, which includes iMovie 4, iPhoto 4, iDVD 3, iTunes 4, and GarageBand, a cool new program for creating music. iMovie 4 doesn’t look much different, but that’s just on the surface. Most significant is the capability to trim clips directly in the Timeline – simply drag the ...

iMovie 3.5 on the Way?
Think Secret reports that we may see an iMovie 3.5 soon – perhaps at Macworld Expo in January? Of course, only Apple knows, and Apple isn’t saying.
iMovie 3 VQS 40% Off at Amazon
I noticed today that Amazon is selling the book at 40% off, for $11.99. If you haven’t picked up a copy, or if you’re looking for a good holiday gift, this is a pretty good deal.
