Apple’s iMovie Makes Internet Video Easier in 2009
Personally, I love iMovie and am excited at the prospect of some improvements this year including better integration with video hosting sites, such as Youtube. Clearly, internet video is getting much easier to publish – great news for everyone.
Apple will offer a significant update to iMovie at next week’s Macworld. It will largely focus on Internet video in the Cloud for the YouTube generation.
I’ve heard that iMovie will largely (if not entirely) be a Web Application and Apple would offer its users to “upload your movies to us and edit them there.”
There are currently a few online applications that let you do video editing currently. Google’s Youtube is also adding rudimentary editing features.
I am not certain if this means that iMovie is now entirely a Web Application or if Apple is offering a “Cloud” component to its iMovie application.
iMovie in the Cloud would also offer users the ability to easily view their movies on iPod Touches or iPhones. If the application is entirely Web based, it means that potential customers include the “other 90%” of users who use Windows.
