does anyone have any recs for video editing software for the Mac? reasonable price would be swell as well because for right now, it will just be a hobby and i can't see paying exorbitant amounts of money for something i'm not sure i'll love.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Final Cut Pro Express? (I say this without knowing how much it costs.)

Is this for the G4? You're going to have a hard time finding current software that will run on non-Intel Macs.

I have questions about del.ici.ous
I add bookmarks to it from home and work and wherever I happen to be with my netbook.
But bookmarks I add at work, I can't see on home/netbook, and vice versa.
I use Chrome; work uses Firefox. Would this make a difference? Also, I use toolbar button extensions in each case.

My hatred for iMovie knows no bounds, so I'd say your best bet is to look for an old version of either Premiere or Final Cut Express.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I think the old versions of iMovie were quite decent. Not fond of the recent revs, though.
tiggy, get familiar with Low End Mac [link] I think you'll find it a useful site. Ebay and Craig's List are places to look for old versions of software programs although it never hurts to ask here and other places because a lot of people are slow about clearing out their old software programs.

Hey. New board.
Whereas I actually really like iMovie. And I've used FCE pretty extensively. iMovie doesn't offer the level of customization I'd like, but for basic hobby stuff, it's pretty easy to use.

My problem is I was trained on Avid, so the iMovie interface never made any sense to me. Final Cut Express was annoyingly dumbed-down (and pointlessly so in many cases - remove features for the cheap version, sure, but if a feature exists in both versions and works exactly the same way, why should the button for it be in a completely different place????) but at least it maintained an industry standard window layout.
