IMovie

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.

iMovie, better known as the computer based non-liner video DV, HDV, PAL, HD, editing software for noobs. The first edition of the software was first released in 1999, along with a far superior application Final Cut Pro, before any home computers had the space to contain much video on them in the first place. iMovie gained much popularity early in the millennium due to more joe joes getting bigger computers with more space, the fact that they got cameras to was a big help as well. iMovie is responsible for 99% of all the videos on youtube, but has never been used to edit anything professionally because of its non-intuitive interface, requiring the need to spend lots of time to find a clever work around to solve a simple problem. Simply put, iMovie is the best home video editing software on the market.

[edit] The first iMovie

The first iMovie was an incredible waste of software development time for 1999 because no one had the Hard Drive space to be-able edit video in the first place. But Steve Jobs had a vision. Steve wanted people to, instead of spend time with their families, make a movie about their families that no one would ever watch, so he wasted the resources anyways and came up with this OS 8 application.

The first iMovie in 1999 looked horrible, it looked like what a windows application looks like now. But it was the first software of its kind, and it got Apple at-least 4 years ahead of it's windows counterparts on home based video editing. Now Apple is the leader in home video editing, as well as professional based editing, it's dominating the market the way China dominates Tibet.

[edit] The 2nd iMovie

iMovie 2 was a huge leap forward. It came out in 2000, and it was an OS 9 application and came with new macs. It included many new sound effects and video effects, while getting rid of the old ones that no one would want anyways.

[edit] iMovie 3

iMovie 3 was a huge leap forward. It was an OS X application that came out in 2003, with a few new minor features.

[edit] iMovie 4

iMovie 4 was a huge leap forward. It was an OS X application that came out in 2004, with a few new minor features.

[edit] iMovie 5 HD

iMovie 5 HD was a huge leap forward. It was an OS X application that came out in 2005, with a few new minor features.

[edit] iMovie 6 HD

iMovie 6 came out in 2006 with several new features.

• New look
• New Transitions
• New Effects
• The ability to make ones own effects with Quartz Composer
• The ability to clean up audio as to be-able to hear your movie now
• The addition of themes

The most notable addition to iMovie was the addition of themes, which were like fancy titles that you could add video to, that no one uses unless there a noob, because there are too few themes, and they get old really fast, and you can't make your own theme either.

iMovie 6 HD was probably the best incarnation of iMovie because of its power, which more than compensated for it's non intuitive, not enough like Final Cut Pro's, interface.

[edit] iMovie '08 HD

The New iMovie is the best one yet! it has been redesigned from the ground up!
- Steve Jobs on his neutered creation

The new iMovie has been completely redesigned from a competent home video editor to a watered down, neutered, shadow of its former self. Apparently designed for computer illiterate 80 year olds and 5 year old kids who don't know what the key board does yet.

The new features of iMovie '08 are...

• No more time line!
• Video Effects are completely gone!
• Control over any audio in any form is gone!
• Most of the transitions are gone!
• Themes are gone!
• The ability to cut clips down to the frame is gone!
• The User Interface is so counter intuitive there's no way for someone to use it!
• It can't run on any Apple Computer made before 2006.
• The ability to to make your own effects with quartz composer is gone!
• Any sort of integration with the rest of iLife is gone!

• Your grandmother can now use it.

Apple is apparently practicing corporate terrorism with its customer base. They've watered down iMovie to such a point that now anyone who is even slightly serious about making a movie now needs to splurge $200 dollars for Final Cut Express to beable to make their movies. If people don't upgrade, they'll be left behind in obsolete land, and if they do upgrade, they'll be stuck in decrepit stagnation land. With the new iMovie Apple has left its costumers up shit creek without a paddle.
