Although most of iLive 8 deserves a chance, iMovie 8 really isn't iMovie and is no replacement for the previous version. A dozen transitions? No effects? So few titling options that I only need a couple toes to count them all? That's ridiculous. Where are my options to be creative? Where is the support for plug-ins?

The FinalCut engineer who came home from his vacation and destroyed all the effort I've put into my projects just because he was too inept to use iMovie should have stayed away from the office a little longer. He never should have dumbed down FinalCut and convinced the boss to release it as an iMovie replacement. It's a giant step, all right - one giant step backwards into the non-creative abyss.
