PE3 iMovie

I actually made it through the entire training... and enjoyed it.  Once I got through the first 20 minutes, I became engrossed in the tutorials because I was learning so much.  Garrick Chow is an excellent teacher.  He explains the ins and outs of iMovie thoroughly and makes it easy enough for beginners, like me, to understand and not go into information overload.  The organization of the tutorial also aided in keeping amount of information provided from seeming like too much because of the way it was broken into main sections and then into topics within those sections.  I like that I will be able to easily access parts I might need to see again without having to sit through the entire tutorial again.


In the last couple of sections, Garrick addressed audio adjustments and options for sharing movies.  I was familiar with most of the information here because I had dealt with other recording programs for music and some of the features were similar.  I did find one useful bit of information on extracting audio from other clips.  This can be useful to create a uniform audio blend between clips. 


Here's my first attempt at a movie trailer.  Hope you enjoy!

  1. Oh my gosh! This was great! I kept thinking that baby was going to get into the cactus . . . and hoping he wouldn't! It was really intense - you did a fantastic job keeping the flow of the trailer going - including perfect narrative.

    Nice work!

  2. Hey Joe,

    That's what I'm talking about, great video! I love the feel of it. Felt a little European and I love the quick cuts. Also I like the opening logo, that was exciting. I'm sure you will find many ways to use adobe premier in your environment.
