hey guys john here with a review of ilife oh wait sorry took so long to get this up I wanted to make sure that I ain't got a chance to use it well enough to actually do it with some degree of substance so let's start with I sorry I web the old iWeb was a great program for ranking websites was anything too fancy you had a couple themes and you can easily published 2 dot Mac but it was very difficult to publish to another because another hosting service or use another domain that was it a Mac domain you had to save all the files to a folder then upload them via FTP well the new iWeb takes care of that it's actually very easy now to use iweb to make a website for your own domain it's actually built right in to the program it's a piece of cake so that's certainly a nice feature added also are these things called web widgets which are very handy gives you the ability to add Google Maps you should try to map the location or people trying to get to wherever your site advertises real handy there's a thing called shape you can add some really nice shapes nice and easily and it just makes it much easier in addition to all that there are several more themes which really make finding what you want your website to look like a little bit easier like I web before it's really not an advanced web building program but for something amateur quick and easy it's it's great I built a website for my family took an hour uploader some albums was nice and easy so keep that in mind as well all right the so actually give a review here at a 10 I give the new iWeb a 9 I like the old iWeb the new one only makes it better so I webo it thumbs up next one let's check out is GarageBand if you want to see videos of all these programs in action I mean you can see it on my how much screen if I'd set it up that way but it's much easier just to go to apple actually look at the program itself a check out the the demos really give you a better sense youtube Bolin gives me 10 min so I couldn't get all videos of the programs in action in 10 minutes anyway garage man I never really used I don't do bug music editing but I did play around at this one it's got something called magic GarageBand which is really cool it sets a stage where with all kinds of music and you can pick a genre that you like you know jazz blues rock if you like country and things like that you can choose the instruments that go along with it and then you can record your own tracks it's very handy I can't really review GarageBand works I don't use it I really don't know how to use it but I have people had come over to my place that know how to use it they really liked it so because of them you know given eight out of ten they seem to be really happy with the changes so thumbs up for garageband if you use that the next program is the one that I use the most I photo I thought the old I photo was great it was nice and easy to use nice way to organize your photos into albums there's some changes with iPhoto the first one is a thing called events and what it does is every time you plug in a digital camera or import photos it sees whether whether it was a break-in in a camera whether you had an hour two hours will break that up into events it's supposed to be an easy way to search I don't like the events I'd rather set it up myself that have the computer do it for me they don't know where I was they don't know what time i was shooting things planned to be a little bit annoying it's easy to to not use if you don't like it so if you do like it it's a nice feature if not and when you are looking at an events album and you take your mouse and you put the little cursor over it the picture start to shuffle which is kind of neat so that's one new feature with iPhoto another new feature are these web galleries and if you have a dot mac account what that does is it lets you upload pictures to a web gallery now you could do that before with the old I photo but now you can give it you can actually give people the ability to upload photos to your gallery themselves you can set up a online web gallery send an email out to people and let them email pictures to that email address and when they do the pictures automatically show up on the web gallery you can let them download it in high res lower revs whatever it is that you want it's very cool feature also from your iPhone you can now upload features to the web gallery which is kind of cool to if if you have an iPhone for any United States at least so that's a very nice feature of iPhoto other than that things haven't really changed so much some of the editing features are a little more advanced now you can choose the size of the retouching things like that and that's nice I loved I photo before I give I photo 10 thumbs up there now the biggest change to the programs is iMovie and that's kind of caused the most the most controversy with people I liked I'm movie 06 the first one I learned how to use iMovie 08 adds some new features if you have a hard drive based video camera now you can import to iMovie you couldn't do that before and you can now go directly to YouTube which is a nice feature I actually used the direct to youtube for the keyboard unboxing so you can check that out you can see a kind of letter box it struck it down just a little annoying but it did work well you to sign in to your YouTube account and hit upload it does it all I'm adequate for you i luminate the steps oh that's nice other than that there's very little to like about the new imovie i don't recommend it at all some of the themes aren't very good and some aren't even there everything seems to be one or two steps behind or takes an extra step to do things to input videos to take infinitely longer you know the fact that you can take your mouse and scroll over the clips and clips will start playing isn't that cool to me I know it on the clips anyway so it's kind of a cursory overview of iMovie I know it wasn't so completely guys you're looking for but general opinions is what I'm given this one I may do a video of just like movie a little later on for you but I movie gets a thumbs down get it may be a 4 out of 10 it works I don't think it works as well as i go vo 6 i'm using iMovie six to make this just all of our easier program I DVD not really change that much you have a couple of new themes to burn dvds and a few more options but nothing terribly drastic I DVD is a great program it's easy way to burn movies highly recommended given eight out of ten thumbs up Diavik so guys this is a real quick overview here I've gone you know seven almost seven eight minutes I don't have that much time left YouTube cuts me off at 10 so that's why I had to be a little bit short here but overall the new ilife suite is is very good if use it for photos or if you use GarageBand and burn dvds and specially if you make web pages if you're looking to buy it for an upgrade to iMovie don't waste your time don't waste your money I don't think it's worth it but if you use everything else other than I movie is absolutely worth it the new iWeb has proved to be just amazing and I use it quite frequently so anyway guys that's it thank you for watching thanks for subscribing and you have any questions let me or echo fish know and we will try our best to answer them for you alright guys talk to you later have a good afternoon evening wherever wherever you are bye guys
