I don’t know if you were upset when iMovie took a nosedive — but I sure was. The new version suddenly looked nothing like the beloved iMovie I had been using … no timeline, stupid “events” and a new interface designed by developers with very, very thick glasses, and tiny hands. But maybe it doesn’t really suck as bad as it seems.
Noteboom Productions thought it sucked really bad too. So they decided to help us old fogies get up to speed with Tutor for iMovie ’11.
