Don't forget to mention the iMovie Plugin Pack http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120059 which is available free from Apple. This adds some interesting transitions, effects, and titles to iMovie. There are some shareware/commercial ones available (check VersionTracker, MacUpdate, or http://www.apple.com/imovie/plugin/ ).

Has anyone figured out how to insert plugins so that they are available to all users of a computer? Something is strange about the code in iMovie 2.1.1 which seems to only read your $HOME/Library instead of the entire hierarchy. Weird!

BTW, there is a similar article to this available directly on Apple's website. See http://www.apple.com/imovie/tutorials/

Take care,
