Reviews: iLife '06
I received iLife '06 a few days ago. It comes with new features for iPhoto, iMovie HD, iDVD, GarageBand, and iWeb.
iPhoto
I was never really a fan of iPhoto because of its usual crashing upon camera connection, but now it has improved dramatically with many new features like being able to make a slideshow, card, calender, book (all with cool themes), and publishing to iWeb. Also, you are able to subscribe to "photocasts". I would still use other photo programs like Canon Image Browser.
iMovie HD
iMovie HD is one of the best programs. You are now able to add themes like for chapters or credits which you can customize. Another good addition is that you are able to insert chapters into your movie. There are many new audio clips. Another good thing is that Titles, Transitions, Video FX, and Audio FX are all under the section editing. Now you can film straight to iMovie using Magic iMovie. A big improvment since the previous one.
iDVD
Great. Amazing themes with built-in audio. You can make it widescreen or standard. Also with Magic iDVD.
GarageBand
GarageBand. A great new version, with the ability to make a normal song, podcast episode, and a movie score. In the podcast section you can record or import you podcasts. You can also add chapters, pictures (for color iPods), radio sounds, 201 jingles, and 166 special effects like airplane cabin sounds, arena cheers, and bell towers. In making a movie score you import a movie and make the track as you watch. There are new loops as well. A great program, hands down.
iWeb
The new program was a great success. Being able to create you own site ti .mac or somewhere else with a Welcome, About Me, Photos, Movie, Blog and Podcast pages, all with a lot of customizations. I still don't know if once you get the full membership of .mac (I only have a trial), you get a domain name, not a subu-domain. On the podcast page it comes with a Subscribe button, and on the photos page it comes with a slideshow page. Also you are able to insert Email Me and Hit Counters on your website.
I would agree that iLife '06 is the best yet.
