Editing made easy with iMovie
Although editing is one of the most important aspects of creating enjoyable family or educational movie tutorials, it is the part I have been procrastinating to start because the clips and tools can appear daunting to use from a novice users perspective. With a quick glance at the overwhelming amount of footage I imported, starting to edit my own always footage seemed to be another task placed on my “future project to do list”. However, after viewing Garrick Chow’s easy step by step process of editing located within Chapter 5 of his narrated tutorial called Editing Video.
A brief overview of the key terms and post-production processes and tips I learned about in this section include:
- Creating a new project to edit
- Adding clips to the project
- Trimming
- Slip edits
- Precision and fine tuning editing
- Realtime previewing
- User controls
- Edit points
- Cropping and Rotating
- Time saving tips and shortcuts
Creating a New Project is as easy as 1-2-3
- Select the New Project button located in the Project Pane
- Name your new project, select your preferred Aspect Ratio, click Create
- Go to your Event Library and Click on your Titled selection that you want to use for the current project.
