Where are all the nice effects that was in imovie 06?

I recently upgrade to imovie 08, and when i tried to work with it i really had some serious issues to adapt to the style of the interface.
One thing that i can't find is the video effects (not the transitions, the filters)...where are they?
I am looking for all these nice filters that was adding the fog, the electricity, the sepia and so on...don't tell me that they are gone! I would immediately return to imovie 06 in this case, since i consider the filters and the effect a must; and final cut is not an option since is expensive and looks more complicate than adobe premiere on PC
Thanks in advance for the answers!

I am glad to see my frustrations are not alone.
I have had my MacBook Pro since it first hit the market about 2yrs ago. I used iMovie 6 and iDVD 6 to assemble a fairly professional DVD movie for my wife's Mothers Day present featuring clips from our kids. The movie, which looked awesome, had transitions, titles, fades to black, etc, etc...all backed and timed to music. In otherwords, I spent HOURS syncing the transitions and effects to correspond to changes in the soundtrack used. I had dabbled with Adobe Premier on Windows before, so I had some idea what I was doing. The end result was awesome, and iDVD 6 made it all very professional, all wrapped in a nice DVD package.
Enter iLife '08 and iMovie '08. I was VERY excited when I saw the demo videos of iMovie. It looked to simplify a lot of the things I struggled with in iMovie '06. The first thing I tried to do was to import my iMovie '06 file I made for my wife. Well, imagine how disappointed I was when I played the imported movie, and 1/2 of my transitions are gone, none of me fades are there, and the soundtrack, which took what seemed an eternity to sync, was kaput. All that hard work, and iMovie '08 just flat-out ignored it.
I tried to import some slide-show movies I made for the Mothers Day DVD as well, but the same problem occurred. Then came the 7.1 update, which I thought surely Apple has heard complaints from others on this and fixed these issues, so I deleted all the files and tried to import once again, but once again I was sorely disappointed.
I would LOVE to go out and buy Final Cut, but lets face it, that costs money. I figured and new version of an application, regardless if its a "total rewrite", would have all the features the previous version had PLUS new things. Heck, I am a software developer myself, and I wouldn't ever DREAM of telling my clients "Oh, this is much better, but its missing about 1/2 of what you used to have...but trust me, its better". It's insulting as a user to be patronized this way.
Apple, please, for the love of God, don't EVERY make another product that is deemed an 'upgrade', but doesn't not do what the old version did at all. Because of this, I will be leery before I upgrade any other Apple software. I am not made of money, and I am not in the business of buying stuff just because its there. The next update I will most certainly wait out and see what people think.

Where are all the Naysayer's that said no one would receive their phones before the 10th?

This whole weekend this board has been filled with people saying that no one is getting the phone until the 10th because apple is going to hold them up etc. Now that a lot of peoples phones are out for delivery they are all no where to be found

I said don't expect it last week. 7th at the earliest, but realistically 9th or 10th.
no you said
I don't expect special treatment, and neither should anyone else.. Apple set the date for the iPhone to be there. Feb 10 and the way Apple works it will be here on the 10th. This has happened on EVERY release of iPhone no matter which carrier around the world.
and
"I am 99% positive no one will get their devices no earlier than the 9th.
No one throughout the iPhone pre-orders no matter which version has NEVER gotten it no earlier than 1 day from the release date. All the iPhones will be held at the distribution center regardless if it is UPS or FedEx.
I have actually seen where a few devices ended up 2-3 days early and was sent back to the distribution center, and was delivered on release day(I have experienced that personally twice, and a few friends in the 48 states).
Everyone should just relax and expect their phones no earlier than the 9th."

Where are all the quick links that were at the top of the page such as link to BBC news, yahoo, facebook etc?

Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
* If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button

Where are all the buttons?

Dear abode users,
I'm new to the Adobe CC series, but I have used CS5. I'm trying to make a game with flash, like I did with CS5, but where are all the buttons for Flash. An example: the buttons when your are working with AS3, like the correct all your code button that it looks nice (button).
Is there a way to set it to the old style or something?
Casper

Hi,
You are probably referring to the auto formatting buttons! They are not a part of Flash CC as of now but will be available soon in the forthcoming major update.

Where are all the older posts?

Sorry to put a non-interesting post up here, but where are
all the old posts. I am looking for the post in regards to saving
computation time with passing byte arrays back and forth between AS
and C. This was in a previous post, but I notice that posts have a
short shelf life here. Am I missing something???

Yes, this is particularly frustrating. Google still indexes
old posts so doing a search there may turn up a few results.
As for passing byte arrays, I think this is probably the
thread you're looking for:

TS3147 Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2? I can't find Normal, just Draft and Best.

Where are all the print settings for my HP Officejet 5510 in Mac OS X 10.8.2?? I only have Fast, Fast B & W, and Best. I want Normal so that it looks good but doesn't print so slowly. Help.

Hi,
Change the print settings manually by clicking the lowest drop-down within the print dialog (e.g. the application name, Copies & Pages within MSOffice.
Select Type/Quality and set the print quality as Normal.
You may seve the settings as a Preset from the Presets drop-down menu.

"Unlike". iOS 7 doesnt display well on my 4S. iOS 6.1.3 should still be supported for older hardware. I think I shall me moving to Samsung Galaxy now. Was really hoping hte new iphone would get a bit larger.

Where are all the Apps Stored?

Where are all the apps I have purchased from the app store stored, on my PC? They do not appear in the Itunes folder where all the TV programs and music are.

They are in a subfolder named Mobile Applications. It will be a subfolder wherever you are running your itunes library database ITL file from.
On XP, the default path for that is
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
(this is where the default ITL file is stored)
So your apps would be in this folder
C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\Mobile Applications

Where are all the movies?

Where are all the movies to rent? The lineup is horrendous. I keep hoping that one day there will be a ton of content. So far it’s severely limited. I thought a bunch of movie studios signed up for this.

I'm with you I am a Si Fi junkie and the SiFi channel is not even on their list of stations, but the main flux is there are a whole bunch of really great shows that I would love to see. I figure Apple is charging a premium for TV and Movie content, why than is the Apple offerings so small, I would think it would be to there interest to offer a huge library as its maturing you would think they would be more fulfilling in supply. I love they way I can watch shows and don't have to fast forward through them, But am missing a whole lot of shows that could be offered. Must be a big process for them to put there restrictions of use making it harder and a longer process to add content, Come on Apple give Apple TV more resources, before the competition matures and people are renting from other sources.I really enjoy the Apple TV quality and ease of use, but there will be a time when PC comes out with an easer and as good of quality UI with a larger library. So where is all the content?

Where are all the downloadable free/shareware games?

There were tons of games, freeware, shareware as well as those that cost money. They could be downloaded from the Apple site. Now when I go to the download section and choose 'games' I go to the Apple store and see exactly 42 games to choose from, none of which are free/shareware. So where are all the games?

I don't know about those devs. Seems to me like Apple is less concerned with niceties for the Apple community these days and dumped the free downloadable games 'cause they are more interested in making more money. Oh well. Thanks Dahveed.

Where are all the Develop Presets located?

In the Develop Preset folder (Vista: C:\Users\Howie\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Develop Presets) there are only a few presets listed instead of all the creative and sharpening presets as seen in the Quick Develop "saved preset" drop down. Where are all the other presets located?
Note: my goal is to look at each creative preset to see just what settings are being applied.

Don - that is not what he is asking.
Howie - I have no idea where they are stored on Windows - from a quick exploration I guess they are in the Application .exe file. On the Mac you can get into this, but I'm not sure you can on a PC
However the simplest thing to do is Apply a Preset and Note what is does in the Develop Module. That will be what the Preset is trying to do.
Alternatively Apply the Preset and Create a New Preset with a Different Name, it will have the same settings.

Where are all the plug-ins?

Hi
There seem to be quite a few very experienced InDesign SDK programmers that hang around the forum. Which leads me to my question, where are all the plug-ins you guys have been creating. Looking around, there only seems to be about 50 commercially available plug-ins, so where are the rest of them. Do companies hire programmers for in-house plug-ins is that not overkill.
Besides all this, I understand that nobody (including myself) would want to give away secrets about what type of project they are involved in currently, but maybe some of the guys here could tell us who they worked for in the past, how long involved with InDesign SDK, and what type of plug-in they've created.
I realize in this forum, its basically professionals and not just hobbyists, making it harder sometimes to get replies, but maybe some of you will share a little something in this faceless screen-named avatar world.

P.S. self-employed creator of idrtl plugin @ http://idrtl.scriptui.com

Hi Steven
Many plug-ins are distributed as a part of bigger systems, i.e. CMS. Maybe thats why you've heard only about 50 commercial plugins.

Where are all the songs and whole albums i bought for i tunes? i have a new macbook but iTunes has none of my paid for music

Your purchases won't automatically show in your new Mac's iTunes library. If you go into iTunes > Preferences and on the Store tab tick the 'show iTunes in the cloud purchases' then what you can redownload should show in the Music part of your library with a cloud icon against them - click on the cloud to download them. Or click on your name towards the top right of iTunes and then click Purchased on the popup, and you can redownload them from there.
If you've moved countries since buying the music, or if the rights-holders have removed them from the store, then you won't be able to redownload them. In that case if you still have your old computer then you could copy them over from that (e.g. via an external drive : How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support or via home sharing), or copy them from your backup of your downloads/library and add them via File > Add Too Library
