Hip, I followed your detailed instructions, made my ringtone, went to export as ringtone to find that i dont have this option. then i read on to find out you need iLife '08, which i've been avoiding due to strong complaints about iMovie.

is there a workaround?

GB '08 is pretty sweet. I really want Aperture also. It seems to work really well with raw images.

I'm sorry man... I'll update the OP with that info.

you may want to try rendering the track, and then use the iTunes woraround (change the extension to .m4r and click/drag to ringtones).

I'm sure if you get iLife 08 you can choose to not install the new iMovie if you like the old one better.

no worries. i just dropped you a pm on your hotmail...check it.

hip, did you get my message? i cant send through EIC since i included an attachment. just curious. still cant change from an aif to m4r though.

hey, i just checked it out. i don't log into that email very often.

that was a pretty crazy clip... i'd be interested in hearing the whole track. what's it called?

land of Snow by Ben Perowsky's Mood Swing orchestra

Fantastic Information!!! Thank you!!

Updated to include fade-ins and -outs (step 5.2... the bright pink section).

Just realized I never thanked you for the write-up hip. I made about 25 ringtones earlier, so much easier than doing the old workaround on a PC.
