They're trying to make the gap between Final Cut and iMovie bigger so that people that want something remotely more complected then iMovie '09s short list of features shell out 200 bucks. :)]]></content>

However, it is kind of annoying to work with. It often responds oddly and won't work properly. Other than that, I was thinking of using iMovie HD to make the actual scenes, and export them as QuickTime movies to iMovie '09. :/ Maybe that will work... Thoughts?]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Yep. In the long run, Parallels is better, because when you partition your hard drive for boot camp, that space is instantly gone from your mac partition. But when you use Parallels you can set it up to be like a container that expands when you add stuff, and not automatically eat up 50GB of space. :lol: 

Anyway, I'm getting off topic and I apologize for that.]]></content>

Bootcamp is free, you just need a Windows license. But, given the details the OP posted, I would suggest for the moment finding someone who has iMovie HD and just copy it on a flash drive or CD. (That's what I've done with my new Macs with no problems) I think Apple even had a download on their site to get iMovie HD, but I don't know if it's there anymore...]]></content>

Bottom line in terms of bast value, get a Canon point and shoot camera, like one of the powershots, and they're only about $150, so your saving money compaired to buying a quickcam and getting bootcamp. 


And technically the pictures on a quickcam can be cropped to HD, not full 1080p HD, but about 720. "HD" is basically just a resolution size (720, 1080). And the 'i' or 'p' is just how each frame is taken and projected, 'p' being progressive scan and 'i' being interlaced. Porgressive does look better when objects are moving quickly, with interlaced you'll get lines across moving objects. 
Check these 3 Wikipedia pages out for more in depth info on this. [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080i]1080i[/url] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1080p]1080p[/url] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Display_resolution]Display Resolution[/url]]]></content>

I have one right now, and it's the Panasonic Lumix. I also have a Panasonic SDR Camcorder and an Olympus C-740... and none of these work with iStopmotion 2 or Frame by Frame. All these complications have blown a fuse in my brain! :dizzy:  I JUST WANT TO MAKE FILMS!!!! :twitch:]]></content>
