What have you learnt about technologies from the process of constructing this product ?

iMovie is a proprietary video editing software application which allows Mac users to edit their own home movies. It was originally released by Apple in 1999 as a Mac OS 8 application bundled with the first FireWire-enabled consumer Apple model – iMac DV.[1] Since version 3, iMovie has been a Mac OS X only application bundled in the iLife suite of Macintosh applications.[2]
iMovie imports video footage to the Mac using either the FireWire interface on most MiniDV format digital video cameras, the USB port, or by importing the files from a hard drive. From there, the user can edit the video clips, add titles, and add music. Effects include basic color correction and video enhancement tools, and transitions such as fade-in, fade-out, and slides.
iMovie is part of the iLife suite of software products that comes free with every Mac.
iMovie 6 was released in January 2006 as part of the iLife '06 suite and in iLife '08 as a substitution for iMovie '08 (due to the new version's incompatability with older Power PC Macintosh computers). It is integrated with iPhoto, iTunes, iDVD, GarageBand and iWeb. New features include:
Themes. Designed for ease of use, themes allow the user to drop movie clips or photos into professionally-designed backdrops. Each theme includes full-motion graphic bumpers and transitions.
Real-time effects. iMovie takes advantage of the computer's graphic processing unit to perform some effects without rendering.
Real-time titling
Enhanced audio tools and effects
Multiple open projects
Video podcasts and blogs (using integration with iWeb)
Refined look based on iTunes 5 and 6.
