IMovie HD 5 imported mjpeg files as dv by default, which introduces noise; mjpeg files are cryptically lumped with 'isight' files in this version. Another new feature was included called 'Magic iMovie', which attempted to automate the whole process of video editing, by allowing a common transition to be added between scenes, a music track to be synchronised with the video and a to be created with the accompanying iDVD software. IMovie HD 6 iMovie 6 was released in January 2006 as part of the '06 suite, and was also originally optionally included with iLife '08 as a substitution for iMovie '08 (due to the new version's incompatibility with older Power PC Macintosh computers).

However, this option was removed after iLife '09 was released. It was integrated with,. IMovie HD 6 was designed for ease of use, and included new themes. Themes allow the user to drop movie clips or photos into professionally designed backdrops. Each theme included full-motion graphic bumpers and transitions. IMovie HD 6 also added real-time effects, which took advantage of the computer's graphic processing unit to perform some effects without rendering.

It also introduced real-time titling, enhanced audio tools and effects, the ability to have multiple projects open at once, video podcasts and blogs (using integration with iWeb), and a refined look based on iTunes 5 and 6. IMovie '08 iMovie '08 (Version 7.0) was released in August 2007 as a part of the iLife '08 suite. IMovie '08 was a complete redesign and rewrite of iMovie. It had much better HD output, and more formats to convert to. This was limited, however, by an undocumented restriction on supported codecs. Uses the QuickTime library and can create thumbnails for all supported formats, but most of these cannot be used by iMovie '08.

Some of the formats that iMovie '08 is able to import will not be recognized when they are added to an iPhoto library. Though -encoded AVI files do appear to be recognized, this was the most common format used by digital cameras. The tile-based editing interface was also promoted as something unique and groundbreaking, even though it is functionally identical to the interface of the Toaster Flyer non-linear digital video editing systems released for Amiga computers by NewTek, Inc.

A new feature called 'skimming' for quickly previewing video in the library at a user controlled speed was added, and so was a feature that allows the user to highlight parts of video clips just like highlighting text. IMovie 08 also had the ability to add more than two layers of background sound, including multiple music, narration and; previous versions could play multiple tracks but could display only two extra audio tracks. It included more exportation formats, including iPhone-sized video. It also supported non-tape-based HD video, such as and footage from DVD and HDD camcorders. IMovie '08 also has the ability to export movies to the video sharing website.

According to Apple's, iMovie '08 requires a Mac with either a 1.9 GHz or faster PowerPC G5 or Intel processor. G4s are not supported, even though Apple sold its last G4-based Computers (iBook G4s) 14 months before the release of iLife '08.

However, a system hack enables iMovie 7.1 or higher to run on a PowerPC G4. Criticism of iMovie '08 iMovie 08 was criticized due to its drastic abandonment of some iMovie HD 6 features. Former reviewer said 'iMovie ‘08 is an utter bafflement. Incapable of the more sophisticated editing that the old iMovie made so enjoyable.All visual effects are gone — even basic options like slow motion, reverse motion, fast motion, and black-and-white. And you can’t have more than one project open at a time.' Features removed included the classic timeline, the ability to create DVD chapter markers, support for plugins, and in-timeline audio adjustment and control.

IMovie '08 imports to a much more limited set of video codecs and metadata formats than previous versions of iMovie or today's QuickTime Player. For example, QuickTime Player can be extended to support the FLIP Video 3ivx MPEG-4 codec, but iMovie '08 cannot. IMovie '08 also removed the ability to import DV footage. As a result, all resulting videos have applied and there is no facility for managing full format video. The peculiar lack of QuickTime support means can edit a larger range of video than iMovie '08.

Apple released iMovie HD 6 as a free download to those who had purchased iMovie '08. However, in response to the release of the subsequent newer version of iMovie '09, Apple removed the download in late January 2009 while also reducing the $299 price tag for to $199. Several of the features removed from iMovie '08 that were previously included with iMovie HD 6 have been restored into iMovie '09 and, more recently, iMovie '11. IMovie '09 iMovie '09 (Version 8.0) was released January 2009 as part of the iLife '09 package. It introduced some new features and restored some features from previous versions of iMovie, including basic video effects (such as fast/slow motion and aged film) and image stabilization as well as travel map functions for marking locations where a video was shot. IMovie '09 also introduced simple implementations of more advanced features such as.

It also improved editing with a precision cut editor and a clip trimmer, improved support for hard drive-based cameras such as the Flip Mino, added some new titles and transitions, and added full iDVD support (which was unavailable in iMovie '08). In addition, it introduced a Full-Screen Library Browser with which the user can find and examine all of his or her video in one place. IMovie '11 iMovie '11 (Version 9.0) was released on October 20, 2010 as part of the iLife '11 package. It has the ability to make trailers for home movies, more control over audio, instant replay and flash and hold effects, facial recognition, news themes, and the ability to watch the video on a Mac, iPad, iPhone/iPod touch, or Apple TV, as well as sharing on Facebook and YouTube. It now supports the format. Apple worked with in London, England to bring original music/film scores to iMovie '11. The music is most notably used in the 'trailers' feature provided by the software.

On January 6, 2011, Apple made iMovie '11 (along with, the suite, and the rest of the iLife suite) available on the then-new. Prior versions of iMovie had the ability to split an event so that the unwanted portion of a long event could be deleted in order to save memory. This feature was removed in iMovie ‘11 and is no longer available in iMovie or Final Cut Pro X.
