iMovies

Could not sleep last night so played with iMovie for 5 hours, learnt not to delete before finishing and exporting the movie to Quicktime and a few other things, I think apple needs to supply manuals on their apps, because 5 hours to make a 2 minute movie is nuts!

This is the first time I have ever play with movies, Photographs no problems with Photoshop Lighting Room etc but movies is a whole new game.



Anyone got some good advice, please on how to use this app.

Thanks for the link OSXX.

Just having a read up on 'Final Cut Pro X' looks like I need to invest ¥26,000 and buy it.;D

Worth buying a copy of David Pogue's Missing Manual for iMovie. Excellent value!

Cheers

Work through the iMovie Help. Everything's in there.

Been view all the iMovie help on Youtube, and now understand it a little more.

Thanks for all the information guys.

It was all there in the "help" menu if you had only looked.

I'm making a presumption here, but as I teach a lot of new Mac students ...

I have found that it is best for students to take the time and learn basic Mac operations first, then dive into a program. The functions of said program tend to be picked up A LOT faster because they generally conform to "Mac logic," but if you don't know the logic ... it's a bit like trying to play a song on the piano by assuming that any key you press will play the note you wanted.
