That's true. But I do think they're building it back up again. After all, got to have a reason for upgrading or buying the next version, right? For example, if it didn't have multi cam, the basic users that start with iMovie, then move to X, would eventually outgrow it and see the multi cam of other apps. Got to keep them on board to buy upgrades, which need a better OS, which needs a new computer, etc. It's the established cycle of computing, good or bad. Eventually I figure there will be a button or setting turning off magnetic timeline/audio tracks. The thing I find with track is that audio tracks actually do exist in real life. Video tracks do not. IOW, surround sound has many tracks. Makes sense to edit with audio tracks. Video has 1 track (unless 3D I guess). So the tracks in a video edit are for organizational purposes. I have no problem with the way X slides video tracks around VERTICALLY to keep them tidy. But audio is a mess.

My blog post was really just musing around. It was in fact an off topic reply to something, so I decided to try out that blog thing.

I must admit I find the software and the topic fascinating, good or bad. I'm digging in on a first real project that is simple enough to tackle. My wife is producing it and I believe she said, as I cursed at the trim tools and having to create story lines so things didn't go all out of whack, "Why don't you just do it in 7 where you know what you're doing?" I think my answer was "I dunno."
