iMovie '08 (7.0.x) Special Report: Poor export quality; update to iMove 7.0.1
Some users are experiencing poor video quality when exporting media using the "Gallery" function, which publishes to .Mac.
MacFixIt reader Gary writes:
iMovie 7.0.1, which the Apple says "addresses issues associated with publishing to .Mac Web Gallery. It also improves overall stability and addresses a number of other minor issues," appears to resolve some instances of this issue."Apart from Apple leaving out chapter additions and audio editing within the video stream, it appears many people are importing DV and HD-DV video into iMovie, editing the video, and experiencing problems with the quality of the video when exporting to the new Gallery feature."
"It appears that there is a bug which exports all video irrespective screen resolution as very low bitrate files. So a (Large) 960x540 video resolution file will output a video stream as a little over 300kbps, whereas a Tiny Video transmits roughly the same. So individuals are experiencing intermittent quality issues being reported all over the Apple Discussion forums on their website."
The new release is available as a 9MB download.
