To Gary and co.,
Does anyone know if it is possible to crop a movie the same way that you’d crop a photograph like you’d do in iPhoto or Photoshop?
Preferably, in iMovie 09.
Thanks,
Andre

Hi Gary,
I have an .mvi file that needs to be rotated. I can’t find the editing options that are available to photos.
Is it possible to do this and not have to tilt my head sideways to view the movie?
I have this on my MacBook Pro.
Thanks,
Janet

Hey guys,
I really dislike the google recent searches prompt that pops up on my safari toolbar for google search; is there a way to either disable the recent searches or even perhaps to automate it to clear at user-defined intervals without prompting?
