It is a whole new world for me and iMovie, thanks to Garrick Chow. I will definitely be looking for more of his tutorials as well as other tutorials on lynda.com. I am sold.
Hello, advanced tools. The introduction of the advanced tools option makes editing even more efficient. It eliminates some extra selection and menu choice steps by allowing users to mark, unmark, and reject selections with a simple press of the button and drag of the cursor across the selection. You can see an example of the marking process, the green highlighting of the clip, in the picture to the left.
The editing portion of the iMovie tutorial showed me how much power I have to create movies with small amounts of footage. Learning how to trim clips more effectively and to split clips in order to use footage elsewhere was enlightening. Also, learning how to crop, rotate, and zoom in on clips to create different views of the same shot is a technique I can now utilize. I had seen it done in my peers videos, but was unsure how to do it myself. Now, I know.
Who's is Ken Burns? I have posed that question to myself many times as I attempted to add effects to my videos. Garrick let me in on the secret that Mr. Burns is known for he's zooming technique on still photos. This was explained during the tutorial on making still photos from video. The Ken Burns is a pretty cool effect and I will try to implement it in future projects. I also gained some insight into creating movie trailers. I stayed away from the movie trailers because I didn't understand how to make them, but Garrick walks users through step by step and removed my inhibitions of creating movie trailers. I look forward to trying this feature as well.
