6. Getting Started: Preliminaries and Filming Get Your Idea: It can be a satirical short, or even a friend's wedding. Then either write a script, or write an outline telling you where your video clips go in your movie. http://www.expertvillage.com/video/46039_apple-imovie-new-project.htm Find Music and Sound Clips: Get the music and sound effects you want to use. Put them into iTunes for easy access. http://www.expertvillage.com/video/46050_apple-imovie-audio-effects.htm Create Your Video Clips: Film clips for every scene in your script, or find video clips for each topic in your outline. http://www.expertvillage.com/video/46050_apple-imovie-audio-effects.htm Prepare to Store: Create a folder on your Mac where you will store your iMovie project and everything associated with it. We'll call it your iMovie folder.

Create a folder inside your iMovie folder (your video clips folder) and import your video clips into it. We dislike importing videos into iPhoto; it fills up iPhoto quickly with BIG files. http://www.macinstruct.com/node/111

11. Import Video When your viewer says "Camera Connected," click the "Import" button. iMovie will play and import your digital video. When you wish to stop importing, click the "Import" button once more. Step 3: Drag your imported clip(s) from the clips pane to the editable timeline along the bottom of the iMovie interface. Remember! iMovie treats deleted files differently then most other programs. If you delete a clip you CANNOT get it back.

14. Click the clips button below the Pane, and option-drag the video clips from your video clips folder into the Pane. (When you option-drag instead of drag, you leave a backup copy of the video clip in the Pane. Refer to our notes at the end if you use a camcorder.)

15. Save Your Movie Save your movie early and often. Although iMovie provides the average user with unprecedented functionality, it has been known to shut down unexpectedly...a lot. Since there is no automatic save feature, you stand to lose much, if not all of your project. SAVE! Step 1: From the main menu, go to File > Save Project. http://cobra.ischool.utexas.edu:8080/ramgen/Content2/labstaff/2003/imovie/5savebb.rm http://www.expertvillage.com/video/46057_apple-imovie-burn-disc.htm

18. Inserting Transitions Step 1: Click on the "Trans" (transitions) tab. Step 2: Select a transition from the window. Step 3: Adjust the length or duration of the transition. Step 4: Drag the icon next to the transition you chose to its intended place in your project on the clip timeline at the bottom of the iMovie interface. http://cobra.ischool.utexas.edu:8080/ramgen/Content2/labstaff/2003/imovie/8transitionsbb.rm http://www.wellesley.edu/Computing/Idocs/Imovie/editMovies.html#transitions Learn more at these following websites right now!

26. Adding iDVD Chapters to Your Movie You have the option to add chapters to your project in iMovie. "Chapters" will appear as menu options on your TV screen. They will also mark your project for the "skip" function on your DVD player. Step 1: Select the iDVD tab. Step 2: Select a clip in your timeline that you would like to be a menu option on your DVD screen. Click the "Add Chapter" button. Step 3: Enter a Chapter Title. Step 4: You may remove chapters by clicking on the "Remove Chapter" button. Step 5: You may rename Chapter Titles by double-clicking the text. http://cobra.ischool.utexas.edu:8080/ramgen/Content2/labstaff/2003/imovie/13chaptersbb.rm

27. Export to iDVD When you are positively sure your project is complete and you have added your Chapters, you are ready to export to iDVD. One you export, you CANNOT make any changes in iMovie. iDVD immediately begins encoding your project for burning onto a DVD-R. So, although iMovie must remain open while the iDVD project is encoding, you cannot make any changes to it. Step 1: Save your iMovie project. Step 2: Select the iDVD tab. Step 3: Click the "Create IDVD Project" button. Step 4: iDVD will open automatically. For more information, please see Libby Peterek's iDVD tutorial . http://cobra.ischool.utexas.edu:8080/ramgen/Content2/labstaff/2003/imovie/14exportiDVDbb.rm http://www.expertvillage.com/video/46055_apple-imovie-idvd.htm

28. What To Do When iMovie Crashes iMovie will crash. The question is: How recently did you save, and how hard will it be to reconstruct your work? Here's what to do if iMovie crashes before you've saved again. Step 1: Re-open iMovie, and it should tell you that some files may not have been saved to the clip pane. Select, "Move files to clip pane." Step 2: From the clips moved to the clips pane, reconstruct your project by dragging necessary clips to the timeline. http://cobra.ischool.utexas.edu:8080/ramgen/Content2/labstaff/2003/imovie/9crashbb.rm Go to the Movies!
