Apple has released an update for iMovie that brings all of the new features they talked about at the iPad 2 event. They’ve also released GarageBand for iPad, but you can’t use that one yet because only the iPad 2 will run it. UPDATE: Sorry, incorrect. iMovie will only run on iPad 2. GarageBand is good to go on either model.
The new version of iMovie will appear as an update to the already universal iMovie app if you have it installed on your iPhone. It will set you back $4.99 if you haven’t purchased it before. iMovie will not work on the first gen iPad however. This is likely due to the fact that it requires both the larger amount of RAM (512mb) that the new iPad uses and the faster a5 Dual Core processor to work properly. That means that we won’t see iMovie on the iPad 1.
GarageBand however will run on either the iPad 1st Gen or iPad 2.
The new version of iMovie adds a host of features that make it an even more attractive option for editing your movies on the go without a laptop. The precision editor, which is an iPad only feature, is probably the biggest draw for me as I’ve always found the iPhone version of iMovie to be fiddly and nearly impossible to use to accurately trim a clip. Multitrack audio including a voiceover recording feature and AirPlay support round out the list of additions.
GarageBand is by far the more interesting and robust release as it encompasses much more than a simple audio editing app. Apple have thrown their hand into the simulated instrument ring in a big way with tons of drum, guitar and piano related instruments to choose from. Not only can you play on them simply and easily but you can customize, tweak and massage the instruments to sound and feel the way you’d like. You can record your sessions and mix them together right in the app with up to 8 discreet tracks, then export the song to iTunes, open it in GarageBand for Mac or email it. They even shoved in a voice effects generator, similar to Voices.
These are two marquee releases for the iPad 2 and should show off the capabilities of the faster and beefier new tablet in a big way just in time for it’s release friday.
GarageBand [iTunes] $4.99
iMovie [iTunes] $4.99
