Pros:easy to use, very dynamic
Cons:you'll be sitting at your computer for days on end, mesmerized
The Bottom Line: imovie2 is great for turning amateur dribble into professional-looking art
imovie2 is an excellent piece of software. With just a little bit of footage from a digital movie camera, you can make movies that resemble what you see on the big screen. These are not "home movies" but more like real filmmaking. You can add special effects like slow motion, you can run up to two soundtracks even over the original sound, and you can create smooth transitions between clips. If you invest the time to learn all of the features of this program, you can truly use it to create great art. The interface is incredibly user-friendly and the possibilities are endless. The only downside is that you'll become so entranced with your movies that you may stop going to work. Be sure to explore the more high-tech options. By learning the professional tricks you can make a more sophisticated film.
