I have used iMovie HD quite extensively to create short movies of overseas trips for family and friends.
Most are used to working in the windoze world and are very impressed by the quality and presentation ( which the themes really help with )
All polished off of course by exporting to iDVD, and they just whack in their DVD player and voila. ( was never impressed by the drop in quality from what is viewed on the Mac to DVD - hope this has improved in 08 )
I have ordered my $AU129 family version of iLife 08, becuase over all the update to the suite of apps is worth while.
I have only seen the demos so far of the new iMovie, and read numerous comments, but I think it seems like 2 steps forward and 3 steps back
Forward:
Skimming and Cataloging
Speed in trimming clips
Backward:
No Themes
No Editing Audio
No Chapter Marks
I doubt that Apple will provide an update before the 09 version, (which is a shame) because I'm sure plenty of people that don't get new hardware will still buy the update, espcially as you can still use the old version
