Following Apple's announcement that its new iMovie apps for OS X and iOS would support a new sharing feature called iMovie Theater, the company activated an Apple TV channel dedicated to the service.
In an over-the-air update to its set-top streaming device on Tuesday, Apple is now pushing from its servers a new iMovie Theater channel to support the new iMovie apps released alongside OS X 10.9 Mavericks.
Along with a graphical overhaul, iMovie for both Mac and iOS offer new features rooted in iCloud. With iMovie Theater, users can create clips, trailers or movies and share them across devices with friends and family.
The content served up by the service can be created in iOS or OS X and stored in one location for easy access.
iMovie for iOS can be purchased for $4.99, while the Mac version costs $14.99. Both versions come pre-installed on new devices and those who purchased the software through the App Store are eligible for free upgrades.

Boy, do I ever not like the automatic you have no say in it we’ll take off whatever we want whenever we want updates on the Apple TV…
This is neat, though. It’s like OS X iBooks’ previewing of iBooks Author documents. Just wish I could have decided that (in this case, when) I wanted it instead of being told I want it.
To bad the Apple TV 4th generation did not come out, since we are still at 2nd generation (4 year old) internals. A5 and (HD support) are only new things which make me feel it should be $30 with previous gen. $20 but I might be a bit off?
Just not in the UK, Again!
The UK would like these upgrades as well please. What we would really like is a few things like BBC iPlayer on the Apple TV. You'd have yourself and absolute stampede to get one by the public with catchup services included.
Great, another app to "restrict". Most annoying app management interface I've had to deal with in years.
