I finally bit the bullet and upgraded to Final Cut Express (FCE) from imovie. After going through the tutorial, I figured this was much better than imovie.
However, one thing I could do in imovie that I can't do with FCE: When I import from my digital video camera, everything imports fine. The resulting files in the sequence bin don't have date or time information from the camera!
I used to be able to command-I an imovie clip and I could tell the date and time it was shot, which was very convenient when you are looking at unedited video of your kids.
Do I need to manual add this to the files? Meaning I'd need to import and then re-watch the video on the camera and type the info in? Surely there must be a better way or something that I'm missing.
