iMovie '08: Lacks support for plug-ins

A little green and blue birdie has been chirping in our ears about the new iMovie '08. Rewritten from the ground up, it seems to lack support for plug-ins according to this birdie. iMovie '08 offers just a handful of transitions and titles and a single color correction effect. It is nice for putting together basic video but you'll want to keep a copy of iMovie 6 on-hand for more advanced video projects, especially if you've invested in third-party plug-ins. No word from Apple yet on whether they'll update iMovie '08 for third-party plug-ins. Our birdie thinks the lack of plug-in support was an artifact of the new design and not an intentional act by Apple to drop plug-in support.
