iLife ’08 apps get an update

iLife ’08 users got a gift from Apple today in the form of a “stability an compatibility” update. The updates issued today include:

• iLife Support 8.1

• iDVD 7.0.1
• iPhoto 7.1
• iMovie 7.1
• GarageBand 4.1

Along with the usual “fix this/tweak that”, this update brings new features to iMovie ’08 including Multiple Clip Selection, Fine Tuning (to refine the start or end frame for any clip), Still Frame Creation, Frame-by-Frame trimming, Audio Ducking level control, Manual Audio Fades, Set Duration for Transitions and Stills and Show Current Playhead Time. Many of these features were among those that were part of the outcry by iMovie ’06 users when iMovie ’08 was released. Apple initially met this protest by offering iMovie ’06 to iLife ’08 owners and now, it seems, they are continuing to placate users by incrementally adding the demanded features to the “rebuilt from the ground up” iMovie ’08.
