iMovie ’11 features audio editing overhaul, movie trailer creation

Steve Jobs said that the top feature request for iMovie was an overhaul of the audio editing. This is the highlight of the just-announced iMovie as part of iLife ’11, with a new audio editing panel with the ability to add effects. Other features include:

  • News and sports themes
  • The ability to construct movie trailers which has some fantastic effects, logo and the ability to showcase your family and friends in your latest action-packed flick.
