We’ve been talking a lot lately about the perks and perils of Microsoft Office, especially the program you begrudgingly used to write your college papers: Word. In what appears to be an unrelated move, Apple just made a whole host of productivity apps free. Get excited for Pages! (Borat voice: “Not!”)
If you’ve got an iOS or OS X device in your possession, then you can also get iMovie, Apple’s user-friendly video editor that’s simple enough for beginners to understand while offering a handful of features to tempt more professional users, too. Whether you’ve spent years working with iMovie or have yet to try out the…
Along with the flurry of hardware updates, Apple announced substantial upgrades to iLife and iWork. Features run the gamut from seamless integration with iOS to powerful automation tricks like a robotic drummer. And like OS X Mavericks, everything is available immediately, for free.
To take advantage of its fancy new retina display, higher res camera, and boosted processor, the iWork and iLife apps for iOS have all been updated today. And since that new display will make working with photos a treat, Apple also introduced an iOS version of iPhoto.
It's easy to assume a MacBook Pro would outgun an iPad in iMovie speed tests, due to its beefier processor and extra RAM. But AppAdvice found that both iPad models bested the MacBook Pro in multiple tests. What gives?
Apple doesn't want you to use iMovie on the original iPad because they don't think there's enough processing power and memory for it to work well enough. But whatever! You don't have to listen to them! There's a way to install iMovie on your ol' betsy iPad without even jailbreaking.
If you have an iPad 1, you can only use Garag Band because it doesn't have enough memory and power to run iMovie. But if you are getting an iPad 2 tomorrow, you can get them both. Each is $5. [Garage Band and iMovie]
Apple is bringing iMovie to the iPad, which takes full advantage of the iPad 2's new A5 dual-core processor, promising precision video editing, multitrack audio recording, Airplay compatibility and the ability to export movies in HD. Oh, and it's also coming as an update for iPhone and iPod touch devices. It will cost…
Plenty of people won't be bothered by GarageBand or iMovie, and will want just iPhoto—and they'll want to download it, too. If Apple does charge just $15 per iLife '11 app as this photo suggests, that's amazing news.
We already know that iMovie '11 is going to be YouTube's next big (annoying) meme, but Apple's protecting its chums at movie studios such as Universal and Paramount, by banning any chance of parody. Bummer.
I've just barely dabbled with iMovie '11, but I'm already comfortable saying this: The new "Trailers" templates are going to be this year's latest meme fodder.
At last, there's a new version of iLife. It's got all new, enhanced versions of the major apps. They're pretty fancy looking, and they've got a whole bag of new tricks, like automagic movie trailers.
Apple's iMovie iPhone app has received an update in honor of iOS 4.1 being released. It's now compatible with the new iPod Touch, allows you to split video clips, and more:
A couple of music videos have appeared online, both claiming to be the first-ever music video filmed with an iPhone 4. The Anix may've got in there first, on Monday, but Flakjakt's is a much better watch (and listen).
The iMovie app was designed specifically for the iPhone 4 and isn't made available for prior generations, but the clever folks at Redmond Pie have figured out a way to port it to the iPhone 3GS. And it works well!
I just shot and edited an HD movie on a smartphone in under 5 minutes. Perspective: my digital camera computer from 10 years ago couldn't have done this. And here, with titles, transitions, themes and soundtracks, for $5.
Hello! The long-awaited iMovie iPhone app has popped into the iTunes store. It'll set you back five bucks and can be downloaded right now. But remember that the app's designed for the iPhone 4 only.
MacRumors is reporting that iPhone 4 will pack 512MB of RAM, twice that of the 3GS and the iPad and on par with competitors like the Evo 4G. That's huge, for you and developers both.
We know the basics about the iMovie iPhone app, but apparently news site TidBITS has uncovered a few additional details through some sources within Apple:
