Apple Updates iLife ’08

by Michael on September 27, 2007

Apple posted updates to the iLife ’08 suite of applications on Wednesday, with the most significant changes coming to iMovie.

The iMovie update includes:

  • Multiple Clip Selection
    Select multiple clips in order to assign keywords, paste adjustments or reorganize clips in your project faster than ever.
  • Fine Tuning
    Quickly refine the start or end frame for any clip without leaving the Project view.
  • Still Frame Creation
    Freeze the action for creating a dramatic ending or applying the ?Ken Burns? effect on any frame of your video clip.
  • Frame-by-Frame trimming
    Adjust each clip to the perfect start or end frame using frame-by-frame precision trimming.
  • Audio Ducking level control
    Dip music tracks and background tracks to the perfect level as voice over or other audio comes in and out of your movie.
  • Manual Audio Fades
    Make smoother sounding audio transitions by manually adjusting the fade duration.
  • Performance Improvements
    Enjoy you video more quickly by switching between any of your Events.
  • Set Duration for Transitions and Stills
    Change the duration of photos or length of your transitions without accessing Preferences.
  • Show Current Playhead Time
    Get duration or timing information at a glance as you skim through your Events or movie.

I hope this means we can expect an update for iWork soon.
