<div dir="ltr">In general, the high-end video editors (like Final Cut Pro, Final Cut Express, Avid, etc.) work more like iMovie HD 6. So if the students are are being prepared for semi-pro or pro editing, they would do best to learn with iMovie HD 6. For students who only want to do casual editing (simple home movies, etc.), iMovie '08 would probably be simpler to use.<div>

Just curious. Did these groups have any prior experience with movie editing? It would also be interesting to try it the other way around. With no experience of any kind editing videos, ask them to start with '08 and then '06. I'd be interested in anyone else's experience with that. Otherwise, I think a major part of what gets measured is how much people like to change the way they do something after having learned it one way.<br>

I recently asked two groups to edit their projects using both iMovie 06 and then 08. When I asked for thier opinions 96% of all participants chose 06. (4% were absent.)</blockquote></div></blockquote></div>-- <br>Gordon B. Alley<br>
