 The movie components have been ruined February 3, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
iPhoto, Garage Band and iWeb are great. IPhoto in particular is really much better than its predecessor, especially in terms of speed.
iDVD and iMovie are disastrous pieces of software. iMovie no longer supports chapters. iDVD for me has been extremely unreliable and meant dozens of hours spent on forums finding out things like don't use music in the intros in certain 7.0 themes or your computer will lock up on encoding the DVD menus.
Apple had a halo for me. Now I just think they're another cynical software shop.
 Apple does it again January 28, 2008

I have no regrets about purchasing this update from iLife '06. The enhancements to iPhoto alone make the update worth buying. The enhancements to iWeb are also great. Works flawlessly on my iMac G5 with Leopard 10.5. I haven't tried iDVD or iMovie yet, but their day will come. Five stars for sure.
 Needed for JVC camcorder with hard drive January 27, 2008
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
My son received a JVC camcorder with hard drive from his father-in-law this Christmas. And a used dual G5 Mac Pro from me. He and my daughter-in-law gave both families our first grandchild!
He had iLife'06 but we could not import the video from the JVC camcorder. We read the reviews of iLife'08 and had a lot of concerns, but we had a lot of new video of the baby's first Christmas we didn't want to lose.
No Apple stores or office supply stores who carried Apple products were nearby where he lives in Georgia, so I ordered iLife'08 from Amazon for next day delivery. It arrived as expected. My son installed iLife, then the updates. Hooked up the camcorder and he soon had the videos imported.
Quoting from my son's blog:
"The more I work with iMovie and some of the other iLife applications, the more I begin to understand what they were trying to do. I know I complained about not having a timeline in iMovie, but now you can make your own complete soundtracks with Garageband. I didn't necessarily want to open a new application for a movie project, but I think it would work all the same."
"Apple was kind enough to allow free downloads of their last version of iMovie HD, but I've been sticking with iMovie '08 for all my recent work. Mainly, because it recognizes the widescreen on my camera better (I tried all sorts of ways in iMovie 3, but it kept distorting the video)."
"I really like the way you can adjust the White Balance, and other things with the new iMovie. It's really quite versatile once you experiment and play around with it. Tonight I was playing around in Garageband and discovered how you can play with sound effects, and I thought... I'm going to have to use this! So the next video of my son may have a crazy soundtrack along with it."
"Anyways, I just thought I'd let you know that I like it a whole lot better now."
This would be a 5 star product if Apple would add timelines in as a advanced editing option.
My son also likes how iPhoto handles his RAW files now.
 New iMovie stinks January 27, 2008
3 out of 5 found this review helpful
I usually love apple's upgrades but this one is stinky! The new iPhoto, iDVD and Garageband are cool but not tremendously different but the new iMovie took a step backwards! I really kinda hate it. It's so dummied done it's rather useless. I guess it's time for me to move on to Final Cut Pro.
Great Product January 27, 2008

So far this has been a great upgrade to the ilife '06. iweb has a few new templets that look more professional. The widgets feature is nice because now you can add html snippets such as paypal buttons(in the event that you want to sell products from your site). Garage band has a few new toys as well. You can now send a podcast to itunes and change the bit rate from garage band itself. iphoto has been cleaned up and more organized. Things are arranged by events and makes it much easier to find a photo or groups of photos that you shot together OR you can add photos to a group from another event.
iDVD is about the same with a few new templets and more professional encoding. I never use imovie so I would not be able to comment on that...overall I am very pleased with ilife'08.....
