An update so quickly?

There were quite a few complaints about iMovieHD.

Some people couldn't get the DVcams they have been using to work in this version. Some people were having problems with video/audio sync issues.

Was warranted.

Maybe iPhoto is taking longer because it has so many more bugs.

When I edit clip lengths in one part of my project, I find that other clip lengths have been drastically shortened once the transitions re-render. I find myself bouncing back and forth, with no solution to the problem. I have tried starting fresh with longer clips overall to makeup for this, but still can't get the edits I want. Very frustrating. Is there a way to anchor changes once I make them? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I have tried two ways. Selecting a single clip to edit as well as selecting "similar clips" in hopes of working around it. Both ways get the same result. Another clip somewhere else in the timeline is drastically shortened automatically, and if I try to correct it, something else gets ridiculously shortened.

Has Apple has sold me a string of worthless software? Yes. I produced a Keynote presentation, exported it as a QuickTime, then imported it into iMovie, so as to save is it as a DVD. It was a good quality movie until iMovie got ahold of it. Then the quality went south. Result? Sure, I can save it to a DVD using iDVD, but it looks lousy. iMovie turned clarity into blurry and ruined it.

Someone said Keynote and iMovie are fine if you want to carry your Mac everywhere. If you want to do anything else, like share your work with anybody, forget it. Apple has locked us into junk.

If you are going to try to save to DVD, I suggest using the custom settings for QT export and export to DV (which should give no compression), then import into iMovie and/or iDVD. This will prevent the problem with double-compressing the file. Else it will use Sorensen 3 compression for the export.
