You can make some seriously professional-looking stuff (imagine the Photoshop and CSS work it would take to make a nice reflection under each image in your blog!), but only in the three cookie cutter ways that Apple has decided for you. iMovie ’09 for video editing is just like iWeb for web page editing.

I really enjoyed the layout of pre-iMovie 08. Recently though I've been messing around with 09 and was greatly suprised at all the stuff that is "hidden". It is a lot more powerful than earlier versions. It's just laid out differently. Apple did dumb down iMovie a bit… at first glance. I really enjoyed the layout of pre-iMovie 08.
