• The Mac-Forums Community Guidelines (linked at the top of every forum) are very clear, we respect US law and court precedence when it comes to legality of activity.

    Therefore to clarify:
    • You may not discuss breaking DVD or BluRay encryption, copying, or "ripping" commercial, copy-protected DVDs.
    • This includes DVDs or BluRays you own. Even if you own the DVD or BluRay, it is still technically illegal under the DMCA to break the encryption. While some may argue otherwise, until the law is rewritten or the US Supreme Court strikes it down, we will adhere to the current intent of the law.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying unprotected movies or homemade DVDs.
    • You may discuss ripping or copying tools in the context that they are used for legal purposes as outlined in this post.

I recently started messing around with imovie. I have to admit, it's a great newbie program. However, i am finding that it is difficult to do things at times such as decreasing the audio of the surround track at point A and also increase the Video audio at point A. I want to do this so i can hear my video audio over soundtrack. Also i found that you cannot fade soundtrack or video audio off and then back to on. If there is a way, please help me!!!

One last thing, if i like creating short clips of random things, but with special effects and as entertaining as possible, what would be a good way to learn in the right order of difficulty? Any good websites that you all found to be useful?

Thanks, bush

I'm assuming iMovie 08 or 09. You really need to specify such things.

Type the word duck in the Help menu of iMovie.

Apple has some tutorials which you can get to via the iMovie Help menu. YouTube and sites like it has tutorials made by people like you and I.
