Apple iLife 08 with Video Upgrade in iMovie 08

By
Real Estate Agent with RE/MAX Stars Realty
For those of you who have been wanting to create and edit video Apple has made it even easier with their new iLife 08 package and upgrade.  Apple has added a direct upload link to YouTube which allows you to save time and eliminate a video compression step if your video file size is under 100 meg.  If you have not bought a Mac yet this upgrade is just another reason to look closer at adding a Mac computer.  I switched to Mac early this year and picked up the MacBook Pro and I love it.  I did add Windows XP Pro on it to run my MLS software, Top Producer 6I and my desktop version of Zip Forms but otherwise I am running everything else in the Mac environment and it runs with ease.  If you do video, digital photos, websites, audio or video podcasting the new iLife 08 is easy, cheap and has some very good built in training movies that are hosted on the Apple site.

Are these viewable with Microsoft systems without having to install a plug in application?

Yes, everything we have done so far has worked without downloading anything extra and I know this because my office is using PC's and no one has had to update anything to view.

Great post.  There are a lot of tools that iLife 08 offers to real estate professionals, I wrote about a few over on my blog a few months ago (you can see it here).  Its good to see other professionals taking advantage of Apple's great computers and software.

Lexa, I love my MacBook Pro.  The iSight video conference feature combined with iMovie and GarageBand make the Mac the ultimate computer for real estate agents.  Happy Selling and have a great weekend!

I am impressed with what the Apple Computers are able to do right out of the box without adding any new programs.
