Apple's iMovie 4 includes dozens of visual effects,scene transitions, and title formats. Used tastefully and sparingly, these extras add finesse to a movie and lend a professional touch. But some projects require something a little more creative than what iMovie's built-in tools can provide. [MacCentral]
