Hello. I am new to this forum so I hope I am posting in the proper section.
If not please kindly direct me to correct area.
I need a little help with editing some videos and photos in iPhoto and iMovie
I am using
iMovie '08 7.1.4
iPhoto '08 7.1.5
(cant afford to upgrade at this time)

1.) I shot some video using my digital camera and I need to rotate the video 90 degrees. When I select my video in iPhoto it does not allow me to rotate. Works fine with pics but not video. Any ideas on how to do this? At one time I had Kodak EasyShare installed and I could rotate video,but I deleted the program because it was running super slow.

2.) Is it possible to edit video speed in iMovie? I would like to slow some video down to slow motion. Cant seem to figure it out.
