iMovie 6.0.3 to 6.0.4 with iMovie 08
Hi!
I have been using iMovie 06 for a couple of years and I LOVE it. I am hesitant to "upgrade" to iMovie 08 -- I didn't like what I saw when I looked at it in the store (why did they get rid of the fantastic timeline?!?!) and after reading these posts I realize that it basically a different and simplified program. I have iMovie HD 6.0.3. I understand that if do decide to install iMovie 08 that my current iMovie 06 is not removed and I can still use it and my Mac will not be confused -- is this correct? Does it just stay in my applications like it is now (it's not in an iLife folder)?
My next question is that if I install iMovie 08 -- do I want to upgrade my iMovie 6.0.3 to the 6.0.4 version I can get once I have iMovie 08 -- is it better to do this? Do i need to delete the old 6.0.3 before I install the 6.0.4 (if I actually want to do this? ) I actually have the 6.0.4 version downloaded on my desktop but not installed since I didn't install 08.
I am a little nervous about messing with it since for some reason I do not have the iMovie HD 6 discs. I had purchased iMovie 05 along time ago and I just do my software updates when my Mac tells me to and next thing I knew I have iMovie 06. I know, I know.... Apple did not do this upgrade but I have no explanation since I did not ever purchase iLife 06. So here I am with a version of iMovie06 that I do not have discs for and so I do not want to "mess" things up.
Thanks for your help -- I really appreciate the Discussions advice. You usually know more than the folks in the Apple Store -- and you are more candid! : )
