Create time lapse movies in iMovie

iMovie 6.0.2 seems to have a new time lapse feature built-in, something I hadn't seen or heard of before. To find it, just click on the arrow next to the 'switch to camera mode' toggle, and select Time Lapse from the drop down menu. You have the option of setting how often a frame should be saved, and whether or not the date and time should be shown.

[robg adds: I believe this was new in iMovie 6, and yes, it is documented. Search iMovie's help for time lapse, and then click the first link that comes up (Creating a time-lapse effect). However, I wasn't aware of it, and I asked several people about it this morning, and none of them knew about it either, so I felt it worth sharing. You won't see the feature if you don't have your camera plugged in, somewhat obviously -- it works during video import.]
