iMovie HD

[Archived in Entry]

[nunonunes.org - Personal website of Nuno Nunes -] Lest I forget, after my initial bout with iMovie I've been trying out iMovie HD --the newest version-- and, so far, there doesn't seem to be that many new things. Of course there is the HD and 16:9 format support, a couple more sound effects and a few more transitions and image effects, some controls where moved on over to the effects group (like clip speed, for example) so a few changes did occur, but nothing really groundbreaking.

Some related posts from Technorati and Google.

[Nowhereland.nunonunes.org] nunonunes.org - Personal website of Nuno Nunes -: Even with a good CPU, plenty of RAM and so on, if you've messed with your clips until they cannot be recognized, you edited the hell out of them, you've cut, pasted, undid it, did it all over again, synced audio, un-synced it, messed with it's volume, added pictures, changed clip speeds and all that jazz then you should really just save your work, close iMovie and open it up again. It's only happened to me once, but I lost maybe one and a half hours of work and it took me another 45 minutes or so to get it back (it was easier, of course, because the decisions where already made, I just hat to do it again).

[Hdforindies.com] HD For Indies: While the quality of H.264 is miles beyond MPEG-2 (even comparing prosumer (QuickTime 7 built-in encoding vs high quality MPEG-2 encoding), the workflows will probably be quite similar - decent results with consumer/low end professional tools (and I'll consider Compressor a low end professional tool, as compared to what Universal/MGM/Disney will use to compress their titles), and great results with high end tools. High end tools will also offer realtime encoding, which will matter since we're now dealing with a much more calculation intensive encoding process, and dealing with up to 6 times as many pixels as standard definition.

[Jeffcarlson.typepad.com] Jeff Carlson (.Thought): January 2004: Before this turns into a langorous listing of my activities, I should amble to the point: I can't help but think about Lost in Translation, Soffia Coppola's well-received film about an aging Hollywood star adrift in Japan. I enjoyed the movie (much more than her previous effort, the Virgin Suicides), but hanging out in a hotel for a week helps me appreciate just how well she tapped into the slightly out-of-now feeling of being alone in an unfamiliar place.

[Macdevcenter.com] MacDevCenter.com: Welcome to Swaine Manor: But when Apple added 300-plus features to Final Cut Pro, and came out with Final Cut Express, and added Shake 3 to turn a video editing product into a video editing product line, and Adobe subsequently announced that it would stop developing Premiere for the Mac, it was no longer possible to deny that the team of Cause and Effect were doing their buck and wing act at center stage.
