That is the thing about apple - they are the first gadgets I have had where not only have I been blown away by the important things like the power of the computers and the stunning effectiveness and simplicity of the software but also by the ergonomics and sheer beauty of the design right down to the packaging - makes you feel special :lol:

sounds good :)

thats the good thing with dv tapes the quality is sooooo good for a tape but so easy to upload and edit the footage. and youve got masters of all movies too...thats one thing im not keen on with the hdd camcorders, once the footage has gone thats it :(

[Keith]

just looked on the apple site....jeez they are so dear for refurbs too, wont be getting one that way :(

The other way to look at it is that as an investment, as much as any computer equipment is (not) really, the apple stuff retains its value far more :yes:

I imagine that the version you've got is iMovie 09. Some folks like the previous version better. Fortunately, Apple recognized that and still have the iMovie HD version available for download from here if you want it:

iMovie HD (http://support.apple.com/kb/DL319)

Beyond that, if you need an intro to using iMovie 09, here's a guided tour of what it can do!

Tom (:macwave:... it's absolutely brilliant for building slide shows!)

[tb2830]

ive even managed to get all my purchases of the ipod touch without losing them all

wow wow wow

utterly amazed i am

yep absolutely, if the dosh isnt there then it doesnt matter how good :) BUT I should just say, it wouldn't be your "2nd" laptop for long ;-)

[ukwdwnut]

:lol: will have to save for about 3 yrs or more then for the 17" pro couldnt ever go back to a smaller screen now....and sell the tosh :cry1:

i tried a 13" macbook...no way could i use that :nono:

[Skywatcher]

:D told you iMovie would rock your world. The les use it all the time it is unbreakble and so easy to produce stunning results. Thomas has done voice overs and even done Sound dubbing to improve his films. It's astonshing.

[ukwdwnut]

every editing package ive seen can do dubbing, voice overs, music etc chris....will have to look at imovie next time i visit my brother and see what its like :)

[tb2830]

every editing package on windows is no where as easy as this its just amazing you have a whole choose of menu's etc

i am blown away it really is great and it makes it fun unlike a windows editing programe which is nothing but hassle

[tb2830]

chris what can i say my world has certainly been rocked today

do i regret spending alot of money on a mac ...... do i heck it is worth every single penny

only wish i didnt do it years ago

infact my workmates hubby wants me to take it round so he can admire it before he gets one himself

he has wasted so much money on windows and window upgrades that he knows the mac is the way to go

[ukwdwnut]

i am blown away it really is great and it makes it fun unlike a windows editing programe which is nothing but hassle

the one i use is sooooooo easy its unbelievable, once you have the footage, editing doesnt take long, depends what you want to do to it, its just the rendering that takes the time...but never hassle to use...never used the windows built in movie maker. i know how fussy you are so it must be pretty awesome if your happy with it :)

remember the 7hrs video we watched down at teresa's a few years back and the couple of 1000 photos :lol:

I've used quite a few windows ones but nothing has come close to iMovie, Mick. It's the simplicity that the other programs lack. They are all constantly looking forward and I think Apple looks 'backwards' in a way to make things more simple. Don't know if that sounds daft but I know what I mean!

yes i am fussy when it comes to my videos and i am truly impressed with what i can do

other programs just use to send me into a frenzy but this is just great

only thing i need which my friends hubby has got for me is another firewire lead as mine was for the other machine and doesnt fit this

[catrancher]

Just wait till you start passing stuff off to iDVD. :thumbsup:

Create a whole DVD for your with chapters and everything from your movies. Don't believe me? Wait till Slowhand gets back and ask him how they look!

Tom (:macwave:... still blown away!)

[ukwdwnut]

waiting with baited breathe tom :)

[Skywatcher]

I have seen the books you can get printed by apple of your photos and they look just incredible :mental:

[catrancher]

Mick,

Here's one I did with iMovie and iDVD. I posted it on Vimeo since Youtube couldn't handle the length. It's actually got chapters at all the major sections that you can navigate to off the DVD. Of course, the Vimeo version is straight through since I can't do random access online! :biggrin:

This is the one I did for Slowhand and sent to him on DVD.

cool thx tom, just gonna watch it now :)

[ukwdwnut]

that was really good tom thx for sharing :)

[catrancher]

Oh BTW...

These were all snapshots that we took (Terry and I) on the cruise. I didn't have any actual video to add to it. :thumbsdown:

However, video clips or individual photos are added in the same way. No difference when you're building the final product. :thumbsup:

Tom (:macwave:... it's really a lot of fun!)

[ukwdwnut]

i did notice they were photos tom as there was no movement from anyone, thought you were all playing statues :wink: :lol:

[catrancher]

Now, now... there was some movement. Sorta... :yes:

Course it was all just the Ken Burns effect but it works really well! :thumbsup:

Tom (:macwave:... how moving!)

hehe

i liked it it was a good way of looking at photos rather that just jpegs on a disc

[josh.p.]

The ken burn effects can be slightly bad haha, I did a video of all my prom photos and on one of them the ken burn pans from the top right in on my friend's (who is a girl) chest!!! :rotfl:

Your video was excellent, I'd love to go on a cruise Tom! Mum and Dad are going on one next year for their anniversary but not a Disney cruise.

Ya gotta be careful with it! Be aware of the photo your using it on. Left to its own devices, it can definitely get out of hand. :mental:

Thanks Josh! :yes:

You all should really try a Disney cruise. It's an experience not to be missed! :thumbsup:

Tom (:macwave:... wait till you see what's happening with the Disney Dream!)

[josh.p.]

I have seen the books you can get printed by apple of your photos and they look just incredible :mental:
I've got one of those :D I'll upload some piccies of it :)

[josh.p.]

Here you go :) Done on my phone so not brilliant

[Deafjeff]

I have seen the books you can get printed by apple of your photos and they look just incredible :mental:

yep my DH went to a wedding and took millions of photos so he used iphoto to create a book of photos and the quality is amazing!

Perfect for christmas presents!

We planning to create a book for this year holiday!

[Skywatcher]

Great cos my next question was , is it avaliable in the UK :D - looks stunning Josh

great idea for a gift :yes:

[catrancher]

great idea for a gift :yes:

Or as a coffee table book of your own with remembrances of a special holiday! :thumbsup:

I'm still planning on doing one for each of our Disney Cruises! :yes:

Between the books and the DVD's I put together, it should provide a lifetime of memories.

Even after I'm too old to remember! :eek:




Like next week! :unsure:

Tom (:macwave:... I think...)

[Skywatcher]

:lol:

IF I get some decent Kenya shots then that is my plan for sure - lve that you can include maps etc
