PE1 iMovie

The first impression of the iMove Essentials training was intimidation.  I don't do well with long trainings of any kind, except kinesthetic, and the thought of sitting in front of my computer for three hours and 28 minutes was not appealing.

The beginning of the tutorial confirmed my fears as it went through updating iMovie and the different ways to connect to import video.  While this information is important for users, the information was overkill for me because I knew how to do all the things Garrick was explaining.  I felt chapters one and two were a wasted 20 minutes for me.

The tutorial began for me in the third section. I learned about the slider that expands and contracts video clips to make editing a more precise science.  This information will come in handy as I continue to enhance my skills in iMovie.  Maybe this tutorial won't be a waste of my time after all.

 
The last part of section three provided vital information that will save me precious time creating projects in iMovie. Garrick, I love you for explaining the toolbar.  I have spent so much time searching through different menus trying to find effects, do voice-overs, and so many others things.  Garrick briefly explained each button of  the toolbar, minus the advanced options, and made me a believer that he is my new best friend for information on iMovie.  I'm looking forward to the rest of this tutorial.
