[MacDV] Re: iMovie 3.0.2 control of Canon Dv's?

Ditto here. Just can't rely on iMovie 3.


Same is true of iDVD 3. Yesterday someone posted asking about the poor 
video quality of motion buttons. I encountered the same problem 
yesterday. Seems that the video for the motion buttons (when deviating 
from the theme buttons, such as the heart shaped button) is rendered at 
a smaller size (as it should be) but then shown at a larger size 
(320x240?) so that only the center of the movie is displayed through the 
heart shape! I was looking at someone's chest instead of a head and 
shhoulders shot! Of course the video is naturally blurry and fuzzy! I 
couldn't resolve this issue in a short time, so I went back to iDVD 2 
and will likely stay there until these "abnormalities" in both iMovie 3 
and iDVD 3 are resolved permanently.
