IMovie

The title of this article is incorrect because of technical limitations. The correct title is iMovie.

iMovie is video editing software, created by Apple Computer as part of their iLife suite of applications for the Macintosh, that allows users to edit their own home movies. iMovie 3 and later versions runs only in Mac OS X. Earlier versions of iMovie (2.0.3) ran in Mac OS 9.

When iMovie first came out, it proved popular due to its simplicity, with most tasks easily accomplished by clicking and dragging. Its praise was so widespread that even PC magazines gave it reviews, one even giving it the front page. A PC publication reviewing software for the Macintosh was unprecedented.

Integrated with FireWire, it takes the raw footage from most digital video cameras and loads it onto the Mac. From there, iMovie can edit, add titles, and music. Effects such as fade-in, fade-out, and slides are included by default.

In early 2005, Apple introduced iMovie HD as part of iLife '05, including support for editing high-definition video.
