I'm so happy I don't edit videos. it seems like such a pita.

but the only reason i dont edit anything is because I have nothing to film. What are you guys filming?

I bought '09 for the video stabilization. Turns out (and this isn't the fault of iMovie, according to a smart, non-Apple guy on the discussion forums) that when you record using a CMOS sensor that alter the video in some way ( stabilization) that you stand a chance of getting what they're calling the Jello affect. The video becomes slightly warbly. Its still viewable but there clearly something not right about it.

Unfortunately my new camcorder has a CMOS sensor. I hope there's something that can be done.

@Bruno Crosier: I'm having trouble on Safari and its been happening a lot lately. When I click the play button it flashes to another image and then back to the original image without actually playing the video. ANybody know whats going on? My Safari has been acting weird lately.

Good write up!

One thing I'm wondering about though (and haven't seen answered) is the quality of exporting movies from iMovie '09. iMovie '06 was able to export movies at higher quality than iMovie '08, so some people used iMovie '06 over '08 for that reason alone.

So I'm wondering if iMovie '09 is now able to rival '06 (and the final cuts) in terms of export quality, or is it still like '08 and can't export in super unadulterated non-compressed goodness?

One issue with iMovie '08 is export quality, which is apparently better in iMovie '06. Apparently, the idea is that iMovie '08 is geared for internet more than anything else. I wonder if iMovie '09 restores any of the higher-quality output options available in '06 (or FCP).

Consider me one of those that was really disappointed with iMovie HD '08. They practically took everything that was good out of '06 and threw it away. Ugh.

STILL no effects in iMovie (Other than "old film" or whatever it's called)? Image stabilization and maps are pretty sad upgrades.

I am VERY unimpressed with this year's announcements.

@Dave Bunting:

Yeah, I too am surprised that there's not a whole lot of effects.

Wait, Precision Editor? I don't get it. It looks like basic trimming.
