Highlighting a character in iMovie

Hi

Not possibly in iMovie'08

• iMovie'09 - don't think so - I don't know how at lest

• iMovie HD 6 - Not as standard - but with additional buy Plug-ins

• FinalCut - Yes but it's tough to get started with - steap but rewarding learning curve and a cost.

Yours Bengt W
