Look, Ma! No Save!

A couple of months ago I started using iMovie ‘08 at work. I use it to do very light video editing, superimposing text, etc. The first time it crashed I panicked. I thought to myself: OMG I didn’t save! When I relaunched it I saw that all my work was there, but I still fumbled through the menus trying to find a “Save” function and couldn’t. 2 Seconds of googling later led me to the discovery that iMovie ‘08 does not in fact have a save function.

I have very mixed feelings about this: on the one hand it’s great to break out of the cycle of constant “Cmd+S”ing that interrupts my workflow, and on the other hand that sense of security you get from saving, and iterative saving, is lost. I’m at your mercy, iMovie, and I don’t like it.
