Lesson 6 - iMovie
Now you are ready to start with iMovie in Lesson 6. Please open the iLife Textbook and start reviewing pages 164 to 185. Read the instructions carefully. Note: You have a newer version of iMovie, so some things are a little different – like the buttons at the bottom right (below the “Clip Pane”). Also, copy and paste in your "notes" all the information below about iMovie, iMovie vs. iPhoto and Similarities between the two programs.
iMovie is the video software. With iMovie you can easily create movie projects that include digital video, photos, and music; as well as narration and text. iMovie can be used to build sophisticated and dynamic slide shows (videos), without necessarily using a camcorder. You could create video science reports, your own short films or historical documentaries. You can access your iPhoto albums from within iMovie.
You can also create a movie in iMovie by using a video from a digital camcorder. Video is more real than still photos. To make a video you need to “shoot” and to “edit.” Video is a “process.” Unlike iPhoto, iMovie doesn’t automatically import your video when you plug in your camcorder.
You can also add narration and sound effects to a video in iMovie. With interviews instead of music, a product changes from a “music video” into a “documentary.”
iMovie vs. iPhoto:
• One of the important distinguishing features of iMovie as compared to iPhoto is the ability to add text and titles. Titles are elements that can be made to play over a black (or single-colored) screen, or over the moving video of your project.
• In iMovie you can link certain sounds to individual images. You can be more flexible with music; and add narration.
• In iMovie you can add text and titles and integrate them with the images and music.
• You can create a more dynamic and sophisticated slide show, compared to iPhoto.
• You can add special visual and sound effects.
Similarities:
• You can create slide shows with both iPhoto and iMovie.
• You can add motion to still photos using the Ken Burns Effect on both iPhoto and iMovie.
• You can have background music of your choice by accessing your iTunes playlists from both iPhoto and iMovie.
