+Apple's recently announced iMovie '08, part of the [new iLife suite][2], features a radical redesign of a very popular program. In fact, it's not so much a re-write as a completely different program.
+
+Naturally not everyone is going to be pleased with the new iMovie, which Apple seems to have anticipated. To avoid creating panic among users, the company has made the previous version of iMovie, iMovie 6 HD, [available as a free download][1].
+
+In addition, when you install iLife '08, rather than overwriting your existing copy of iMovie, it will be moved to a folder named "iMovie (previous version)."
+
+Of course there will likely be little or no future for the old version of iMovie, but at least you can upgrade to '08 without fear of losing your existing app (note that this is not true for iDVD or iPhoto which will be overwritten by the update).
+
+As for what changed in iMovie, the main thing that may bother existing users is the absence of the traditional timeline for arranging clips. There are also major changes to how music and other auxiliary files and clips are edited.
+
+On the plus side iMovie '08 does have some nice new features including the ability to mix and match video formats and resolutions and support for the AVCHD format used by those hot new hard disk camcorders.
+
+And I should note that the iMovie 6 download is free to anyone, so even if you never upgraded from earlier version you can now grab it and take advantage of the HD support and other improvements over iMovie 5 and earlier.
