HowTo: Work with iMovie
How To Make a Movie
Video editing used to be a tedious process involving hours spent with the remote control, transferring from the camera to a VHS recorder.
You could, if you were really serious, pay for an editing desk but that was out of reach for the ordinary home user.
Fortunately, now that we have digital video cameras, life is a lot easier and for us Mac users, it’s easier still. iMovie is included in the iLife suite which is installed on any new Mac so you don’t even have to buy or install additional software.
Before you can start creating your masterpiece you will, of course, have to transfer video from your camera to your Mac. There are a number of different types of camera, some that use USB and some that use Firewire. Video cameras that use a memory card to store recordings can usually be downloaded using one of these connections although you should also be able to download using a Card reader.
I will be describing iMovie 08. Although iMovie 09 has some really cool features, I will wait until you have all had a chance to upgrade before delving into them. Even if you are using 09, I don’t think anything has been removed so you should be able to follow the steps.
