How do you finalise a movie in iMovie 10.0.6?

Use iMovie 9.0.9 which was used with Mavericks. It works fine in Yosemite and you can export directly to iDVD. That is what I sue all the time. I also use Toast 10 where I can import my AVCHD videos directly and Burn to DVD using the Blu Ray feature in Toast. Works great.

Thanks for your tips and input, but I find iMovie '06 HD a much, MUCh better feature rich experience for creating movies than the much later simplified ( read " dumb down" ) current state of later iMovie releases. I like the way older versions of iMovie import and work with the raw video footage than the way current versions handle this. Newer versions of iMovie, also, have less features ( probably to make it easier to go back and forth between iMovie on iDevices and iMovie on OS X) and I really do not like how the more simplified UI and how the newer versions work and function, although I DO use the IOS version of iMovie, on my iPad, from time to time.

AVCHD footage is handled by my Final Cut Express 4. I do not mind having to use two video editors to handle different video formats.

Both of these apps are comprehensive and FCX 4 in some ways already has features that the newer version of Final Cut Pro X took time to eventually get.

I am used to my own workflow and get my video projects done fairly quickly with little downtime.

To each their own,

Thanks, anyways.

Appreciate te your input, though.

Be well...stay well!
