New iMovie 10

As most will know Apple released their new OS on Tuesday and along with that they released a raft of Free updates to the iWork and iLife suites of software. Amongst these new version is a major interface update to iMovie.

The new interface is certainly less daunting for a casual user and will allow quicker editing for the consumer. Colour correction and adjustments to video and audio make much more sense to a non professional user.

If you are a current user of iMovie and FCP X you will see how the positioning of the interface elements have come together.

If you use iMovie now, you will find your way fairly easily, but to make best use of your time, first, spend 5 minutes with this review from TUAW.

I guess that some of the features of this update will find their way into Final Cut, if they do my hope is that the auto functions come with overriding controls, as auto is good but control is better.
