WELCOME
to this basic guide for iMovie 4! iMovie 4 is a video editing application
created by Apple Computer. It is only available for the Macintosh Computer
platform. iMovie 4 is included with every new iMac DV, iBook, Powerbook,
and Power Mac G4 computer.
iMOVIE 4 gives you everything
you need to create your own Desktop Movies. There are no complicated procedures
to learn. If you can cut and paste, and drag and drop, you can transform
any digital video footage into a polished movie with just a few simple
steps.
- CAPTURE. With a click of
your mouse, iMovie automatically transfers video and audio from your
DV camcorder to your Mac through a single FireWire cable.
- EDIT. You can edit your
clips and arrange them in any order you choose, then add cool effects
such as dissolves, fades, and pushes for professional looking transitions
between scenes.
- ENHANCE. Want to really
impress viewers? Spice up your flick with a music soundtrack, voice-overs,
and sound effects; apply striking video effects including Soft Focus,
Sepia Tone, Black and White, and Water Ripple; then polish it off with
titles and closing credits.
- SHARE. Once you've completed
your masterpiece, you can view it full screen or transfer your movie
to the Internet in QuickTime format or back to your camcorder for recording
on a VHS tape or watching on TV.
By the end of this module, you will be able to import, edit, and
export movies using Apple's iMovie and be able to answer most questions
dealing with the basics of iMovie 4.
