The iMovie 08 Library Compressor is a user-friendly software designed to shrink down the size of iMovie 08 libraries. This program simplifies the process of reducing file size, making it easy for users to store and manage their iMovie projects effectively.
One downside of iMovie '08 is the size of the DV clips, which can take up huge amounts of space. Thankfully, this app compresses DV files in iMovie libraries while retaining reasonable quality. Using Apple's H.264 compression technology, users can minimize disk space usage by up to 70% with minimal loss of quality.
The application is built with simplicity in mind. Using Applescript, users can double-click to open the app and select their preferred compression settings, ranging from a pristine copy that shaves off 10% of the file size to clips that have been reduced by 93% – a great option for Vimeo or YouTube uploads. The library size will shrink drastically, leaving the user with a lightweight and easy-to-manage project.
Another valuable function of iMovie '08 Library Compressor is that it allows users to keep their original raw DV files in their libraries to be archived or discarded, depending on the user's preference. This allows for better organization and easier access should a user need to revisit the original files in the future.
The applet is completely free to use and modify, given that the user credits the creator if any modifications are released. Overall, iMovie '08 Library Compressor is an excellent program that can be incredibly helpful to those who use iMovie regularly.
