iLife/iMovie HD

iMovie is part of the iLife suite. It is integrated with iPhoto, iTunes, iDVD, GarageBand and iWeb as part of the suite.

New features include:

• Five Apple-designed iMovie "Themes". Designed for ease of use, the user can easily drop movie clips or photos into preset themes to give the project a professional look. Each theme includes full motion-graphic bumpers and transitions.
• Real-time effects. There is no longer the need to wait for rendering because iMovie takes advantage of the user's graphic processing unit in their computer.
• Cinematic real-time titling
• Enhanced Audio tools and effects
• Multiple open projects
• Video Podcasts and blogs (using integration with iWeb)
• Refined look based on iTunes 5 and 6.
