you have to have OSX (os 10) to have Imovie. it will come on the computer. its just like windows movie maker, or solitare comes on all pc's.

for used macs check out this site www.smalldog.com they have a ton of used macs that are perfectly restored, and you can even pay it off in payments.

And if you're getting an original iMac make sure it's a "DV" model or later as the first couple of years they didn't have firewire ports and won't take FW cards. OS X will run on any mac with a G3 processor but iMovie won't do you much good if you can't get your video into the unit! Ebay is another good source of used Macs.

iMovie comes on OS 9 as well. If you're doing DV editing, make sure the mac you get has firewire.

"iMovie comes on OS 9 as well."

I couldn't remember if it did or not as it's been so long since I've used OS 9 I kinda forgot what was around back then!

Actually, I'm not sure if all versions of OS 9 include iMovie, but there is a version available for OS 9. One came with my iMac DV (first mac with firewire if I remember right).

Ok, I'm glad u were just jokin... and I could have said that in a better way: In my oppinion there are a lot of much better editors out there.

Oh that was better sounding.

iMovie is definately not professional . . it is home movies . . .GREAT home movies, but still homemovies. It is the BEST home movie program to be sure, but Final Cut or Premiere (or similar) are needed if you want to be really creative.
