Chapter 12. iMovie 09

For many years, Apple's iMovie was a fantastic program for quickly editing movies. In particular, iMovie 6 was a robust program, accessible to consumers and working pros alike. That all changed with the release of iMovie 8 which was a simpler, more streamlined version that took away all that made iMovie 6 so great. With iMovie 09, Apple included many of the features that made iMovie 6 so wonderful while maintaining the ease of use consumers appreciated in iMovie 08, reaching a compromise that allowed fairly robust editing with a user friendly interface.

For new users, iMovie 09 is a fairly straightforward and intuitive program, allowing you to quickly and easily make movies. For Mac users editing Fusion, iMovie 09 integrates nicely with the other iLife programs — GarageBand, iTunes, and iPhoto.

This chapter will take you through the steps to get started with Fusion and iMovie 09, showcasing the basics you will need.
