iMovie/iDVD Update

[dvoros]

When will Apple give iMovie and iDVD a major overhaul? Kids today are making great movies using iPhones but the software to edit and distribute are lacking in so many features. Where is the Apple of old?

 

[Dave Braine]

Apple stopped including iDVD on Macs some years ago. iMovie has been updated a number of times since then, not always to the good. The current version of iMovie doesn't have a Share with iDVD facility, and I can't see Apple changing that. The last version that did was iMovie11(v9)

iDVD will never return because no recent Macs have DVD drives. (Only model in production is the 2012 13" MacBookPro). Kids (and adults) distribute videos these days on Facebook, Youtube, Vimeo, iMovie Theater (does anyone use this?) or Quicktime files.

For anyone that needs more features than iMovie offers, there's always FCPX/Motion/Compressor.
