Reception

MacHome Journal praised the additions to MovieWorks Interactive with version 4.0, deeming it "instantly usable, completely intuitive and amazingly powerful", albeit with limitations to the degree of interactivity due to its linear timeline. MacAddict liked the overall package of MovieWorks Interactive. Mac Today called MovieWorks Interactive a bargain given both its asking price and rich feature set compared to its contemporaries.
