When we were introduced to iMovie during month 1 I spent a lot of time experimenting the testing different effects and how to move things around, etc., which was discussed in this tutorial. I only wish I had worked smarter then and used the tutorial instead of using the iMovie help windows and struggling. I tell my students to use Lynda if they need help and then I didn’t do it either.
For me seeing how Garrick thought through his project was just as helpful as how the tools within iMovie work. I’ve overseen many photo shoots and videos but have never been on the editing side. It is very similar in thinking about how to set it up but very different in the execution. Understanding the difference between a project and event now makes total sense. I particularly liked that section on organizing the clips as the first time I worked in iMovie I kept reviewing the same clips over and over, that the majority of the time was spent deciding what to use and what is valid or not. The shortcuts to help you make those decisions more efficiently and will really help in the future. The other section that was very helpful was the audio section and the shortcuts there as well.
I have gone through the tutorial once making notes and now I’m off to go shoot some video and put the tutorial to the test. I look forward to sharing my next few steps with you.
