IMovie’s myriad buttons and shiny aluminum textures are all gone, replaced with a few distinct sections: a sidebar for accessing your photos, videos, projects, and content library buttons for importing video, creating new projects, and sharing clips/projects a tab switch between iMovie’s Library screen and iMovie Theater and two editing buttons, Enhance and Adjust. But once you open up a project, it becomes clear that those editing chops are still there. Its initial treatment reminds me far more of iPhoto’s management options than of a piece of video editing software.

It has the same “space gray” coloration and timeline handling, and though it pales in comparison to Final Cut’s feature set, it still has a decent number of tools in its toolbox.īut unlike previous versions of iMovie, those tools aren’t out in the open-they’re instead secreted away behind simplistic-looking buttons that won’t scare off casual filmmakers or beginners. This version of iMovie, however, can stand proudly alongside its big brother. It never quite had the same timeline handling, or the right look sometimes it would be ahead of Final Cut’s development curve, sometimes far behind. IMovie has always been a bit of an odd sibling to its big brother,įinal Cut Pro, in terms of both features and appearance.
