Does iMovie 08 have slow motion effect?

I was told that Apple's iMovie 08 has a setting to slow down a video clip (slow motion). However, I cannot seem to find anything that let's you apply slow motion to a clip. Does anyone know if iMovie 08 has this feature?

If not, then I will try to use the Final Cut Pro ver 5 that I just installed on my iMac, but it looks way too complicated for what I want to do at the moment.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
JCBII

Criticism of iMovie 08
iMovie 08 has been the target of significant criticism due to a drastic decrease in features from iMovie '06. The loss of features caused New York Times reviewer David Pogue to state, "iMovie ‘08 is an utter bafflement...[it] is incapable of the more sophisticated editing that the old iMovie made so enjoyable...All visual effects are gone—even basic options like slow motion, reverse motion, fast motion, and black-and-white. And you can’t have more than one project open at a time."

Hey, thanks for that information. I am collaborating on putting together a Little League video with a friend who also has a Mac. He has iMovie 06, and he was talking about upgrading to 08. I will definitely tell him NOT to do that!

Well, that's disappointing.

Thanks again.
