PE3_IMovie

Well, I finally finished the tutorial and my project. I certainly have learned a lot about IMovie. I have to admit that at the beginning I was not a fan of IMovie but now that I have viewed the tutorial, I am beginning to be a fan. We will see as time goes on.

I have learned how to transition, add music, add still photos and titles. This I have shown in my video: Emmy's First Trip to the Ocean. I uploaded it to viddler as well.

Here is the link to my finished project on viddler:

Here is my IMovie project chronicling my daughter's first trip to the ocean. This project was a learning experience. I added titles, music and still photos for the first time.  Transitions were a trouble spot for me. You will see that throughout the video! I also shared it using the Mobile Me Gallery. Another task I learned through the tutorials!!!

I uploaded my video to you tube because I was having difficulty embedding it for some reason. So I watched the Blogger tutorial for video uploading and saw that you can upload a video through youtube. So I uploaded my IMovie to youtube and then uploaded it onto my blog.

Here is a screen shot about sharing your projects through Mobile Me:

As my training in IMovie progressed, I learned a plethora of information in such a short time. I learned how to add still pictures into IMovie and how to add background music. I also learned how to adjust the time the still pictures moved and the time for transitions. I am working on creating an IMovie about my daughter's first visit to the ocean. I am creating this as I go through the tutorial.

Here are screen shots of my project in progress and of the screen in the IMovie tutorial showing me how to add background music to my project.

Well, I have been learning quite a bit through the Lynda.com tutorial of the IMovie program. I have to admit there is a lot of information to digest. 2 hours is not the true amount of time i takes for us to go through the tutorial and truly understand a third of what is going on. I was amazed at all of the aspects and all of the editing and creating one can do using IMovie. At first, I was dreading this because I was not a big fan of IMovie but this tutorial has made a believer out of me. As I began my tutorials, I learned:

How to mark my videos as favorites and rejects. Here is a screen shot from the tutorial showing me how to mark my video clips as favorites and rejects. This will make it easy when creating projects.

I also learned how to add transitions smoother and more professionally. here is a screen shot from the adding transition tutorial I viewed. Hopefully I will be able to do this by the time this program is over!!
