About this siteFor six years, the Internet Nexus served as my technology blog, but I've since started blogging at the SuperSite Blog instead. If you're looking for the blog, please head there. --Paul Friday, January 16, 2004Installing iLife To me, iLife is everything that's right about the Mac platform. I often highlight the bad because, let's face it, the Mac Web wouldn't normally allow any dissention at all, but iLife rocks. From the release notes:
About iLife iLife gives you the most up-to-date versions of Apple’s acclaimed tools for creating, managing, organizing, and sharing your digital movies, photos, and music. Your software includes: • GarageBand, the easiest way to perform, record, and create music, whether you’re a musician or just want to feel like a rock star. GarageBand turns your Mac into a high-quality musical instrument with amazing built-in sounds and gives you the complete power of a recording studio. With GarageBand you don’t need to be a musician to make original music. GarageBand includes professionally pre-recorded rhythm sections, solos, and instrumental performances that act like “virtual musicians” that you conduct to create custom songs, or use as backing tracks for your own recorded performances or within iMovie, iPhoto and iDVD. • iTunes, the world's best digital music jukebox. iTunes allows you to import music from your CDs to your computer, create playlists of your favorite songs, and take your music with you on custom CDs and your iPod. iTunes truly puts all your music in one place with the iTunes Music Store (U.S. only), where you can preview, buy, and download individual songs and full albums. In addition, iTunes 4 lets you share music on a local network, share album art, burn DVDs, and import from CDs in the new high-quality AAC format. • iPhoto, has always been the best way to easily import photos from your digital camera, organize them for fast retrieval, and then share them with family and friends. Now with iPhoto 4 you get even more, including faster overall performance. In fact, you can find the picture you’re looking for in seconds, whether you have one hundred photos or one hundred thousand. With new time-based organization and “Smart Albums,” iPhoto keeps your photos organized automatically. And with Rendezvous photo sharing you can now share photos with anyone on your local network. • iMovie, the fastest and easiest way to create movies like a pro, continues its innovative tradition by increasing performance and adding new features that streamline the movie-making process, promote creative exploration, and help you create Hollywood-style movies that are easily shared with the world. With iMovie 4 you can quickly edit and trim right in the timeline by simply clicking and dragging. Sync audio and video with “snap to” precision. Integrate all of your iLife content and share by email, publish to a .Mac HomePage, or even take your movies with you by transmitting to your Bluetooth devices. • iDVD is the perfect complement to every iLife project. With seamless integration with all of your iLife applications, easily create beautiful DVDs faster and with many new enhancements. New iTunes playlist support gives you the ability to have multiple songs play in a slideshow background. From iPhoto, drag and drop your iPhoto albums directly into iDVD. And now iDVD supports up to 99 chapter markers from iMovie. Choose from new professionally designed themes and menu transitions, then burn your finished masterpiece onto a DVD and share your masterpieces with everyone! [ Posted at 8:32 PM | Permalink ]
