How iMovie 8 shifts your focus
An insightful piece by Systems Boy on how iMovie 8′s no-timeline design encourages you to regard your piece in other ways:
In iMovie 8 you’re forced to get a sense of the timing of the piece by watching your piece. This, at least for me, allowed for a true shift in focus. Suddenly I found myself much more engaged in the sound and imagery than the timing. And in my own sense of time, rather than that of actual, precise, numeric time. This was somewhat magical. — iMovie 8, systemboy.com, March 7, 2009
