iMovie Download
If you are looking for an easy to use movie editing app to cut your iStopMotion movie and add titles, sound and effects to it, try iMovie HD. This used to be included with every new Mac as part of iLife until in a surprise move, Apple replaced it in iLife '08 with an app by the same name but with a different attitude. Fortunately, you can still download the old app from Apple:
