iMovie 3.02 is now available.

This update provides improved performance and stability. Is it SNAPPIER?

My guess is that Snappier falls under performance.

iMovie 3, now with less ass!

Quick impression? Playback is better, as is switching between clips in the tray. Still slower than iMovie 2 by a wide margin. Still has the ridiculous fake-brushed metal window. It crashed twice on me in about two minutes, though.

iMovie 2 with all it's Carbon yumminess is still the champ, if you ask me.

That all depends on what you're filming.

MOVE TO THE SOFTWARE FORUM

Dude, relax and get a life. Why are these forums crawling with uptight forum cops (who aren't admins)?

It really isn't a big deal.

Its easy to get confused about which forum to put things in. Geez, friendly around here, aren't we?

SMacTech · Mar 7, 2003, 08:34 AM

Yeah, like nobody mentions anything about software in this thread. Some people need to chill.

I got that error since installing iMovie 3 in the first place. But after you say its ok it does not seem to handicap iMovie in any way. I would just like to know what causes it. (Btw: I do have Toast.app on my system)

I tried to follow the directions on that page but I do not have "Toast Video CD Export.bundle" in my "Plug-ins" directory and still get that error message.

DeathMan · Mar 8, 2003, 12:58 AM

can you use more than 20-30 clips now? I guess I'll find out tomorrow, going to feel stupid in front of my friends if it doesn't. I preach this platform.

dampeoples · Mar 8, 2003, 02:05 AM

i get the Toast/iMovie problem too. Sure would be nice to find a real fix for that.

I await your findings.

35 clips on 3.0.1 is unusable.

Too bad, because iDVD (2 at least) is excellent. With a properly functioning iMovie 3 the combo would be awesome.

So you haven't tried it yourself? Can't you just open one of your old projects that always crashed?

DeathMan · Mar 8, 2003, 11:10 PM

Today I made a skateboarding video for some kids in the neighborhood that are trying to get local businesses in town to sponsor them.

I captured about 80 clips to the bin. Then I trimmed down the 80 clips to the 20 or so good ones, and cleaned those up, putting each into the timeline.

iMovie crashed once when I stopped captureing one of the times, but thats it. Responsiveness is a little slow, but bearable. I prefer it to iMovie 2 now.

I hadn't had any stability issues before, but hadn't tried much. This project is a little bigger, but not huge.

Hope that gave someone somewhere some hope.

I suppose, but that's not quite the same thing as testing a new project.

I need to edit a new project for work, but I'll probably only have about 10 clips there so that likely won't be a problem.

Yes it does, thanks.
