New iLife on The Horizon?

This post was published 2 years 4 months 18 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.MacScoop’s inside sources are claiming that the long overdue version of iLife may have just hit Golden Master.
The development of the new iLife suite was actually finished a few weeks ago and nothing prevents Apple from releasing it during the summer or on early September, sources told MacScoop.
Sources confirmed the new suite will run on both Mac OS X Tiger (10.4) and Leopard (10.5) operating systems. Previous iterations of iLife have always supported the last two versions of Mac OS X.
I wondering what features they could humanly add to the iLife suite, which seem pretty feature complete. Anyone care to venture a guess?
iLife is great but not for everybody. My parents don’t do podcasts and music with Garageband.
iDVD is really weak for doing aything with fine control, iMovie is really the only thing of value. But then again editing birthday partyes does get tiresome really quick.
I guess there’s iPhoto left. But it is really slow and I’ve been burned by corrupted libraries a couple of times.
Picasa is really what would be most valuable on the Mac at this point.
If like mee you want something lightning fast, free and powerful for your Mac photo editing go with Open-Source Xee http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/xee.html
Blows the socks off of iPhoto for photo mangement
@olivier
You are talking about iLife 2. Who knows that iLIfe 3 will fulfill all dad and your needs.
I am eager to see the new features. IPhoto does slow :(
This might be where Steve introduces some .mac enhancements. Remember he mentioned they’d “makeup for lost time” during the Bill Gates interview.
I was hoping for better meta-data usage in iPhoto instead of storing keywords and other data in the .plist, and other iphoto dat files. That way the corrupted databases (as Olivier pointed out) would be less of an issue. Also, When manually changing photo’s EXIF data (time, lat-long, etc) after already imported, iPhoto does not reflect this in it’s info window ofor each image. It would be nice (like the rebuiling of thumbnil caches) to be able to rebuild EXIF data. Just my 2c on all this.
i think its time they change the whole apps…give it a facelift and a new way of using them. If you ask me they look old, and how aboutmaking them run faster and snappier with a lot less problems and more compatibility on videocams
not ot mention add pro fewature to iweb, and add iwork to iLIfe suite
that would be really sweet
iWeb was great, but needs a lot more features and some Javascript support.
Some Blu-Ray and HD DVD support would be great, even in the new Final Cut Studio.
My friends think my iMovies are great. But iMovie is rather slow importing from anything other than a Mini/DV camera. Aperture of course kicks iPhoto. GarageBand is eh.. nothing really special. iDVD isn’t customizable enough. Same with iWeb (I want to make my own templates)
