Making movies is a great hobby and the perfect answer to the question of what to do with the digital footage you've captured with your DV camcorder. Every new iMac unlocks the world of digital video, with processor speeds of up to 700MHz, a huge hard disk, two 400Mbps FireWire ports and Apple's award-winning iMovie 2 video editing software. It makes editing digital video as simple as using your iMac. And that's it. That speedy process is among the reasons why the idea of making Desktop Movies has spread like wildfire.
