How Do I Find Video Effects in a New iMovie?
Navigating through iMovie '11, version 9.0, to select video effects is somewhat different than previous versions of the software. Apple has changed the navigation to make it easier to use for newcomers, but if you're used to the old ways, the effects may be hard to find the first time you use the software. IMovie '11 includes a dozen effects, including slow-motion, dream haze, black and white and sepia, each available for any clip or photo of your movie with a click of the mouse.
