We say goodbye to 2010

Apple Users Group North Queensland

Our new home

Say hello to the Apple Users Group North Queensland website. The site is now up and ready.

This site (NQMUG.org) will remain operational for the 2011 year in case anyone has bookmarks etc. An auto ‘re-direction’ to AUGNQ.org will be put in place in mid-January. By then our email list should have informed our members and visitors of our new home. All new ‘content’ will be contained on augnq.org

For some time the NQMUG email list will remain as is until we can organise its renaming, but any links sent out in any emails will be to the new URL. I look forward to any comments so please use the email list to send your thoughts and requests.

So all that is left is for you to click on the image above and hop over to the new site.

Regain the Timeline in iMovie ’11

October 23, 2010

by Jeff Carlson from TidBITS
When Apple radically changed iMovie between the ’06 and ’08 releases, one of the biggest criticisms was the abandonment of the traditional editing timeline. Instead of one horizontal succession of clips at the bottom of the screen, iMovie ’08 introduced an editing area at the top-left of the screen where [...]
