Abstract

iMovie (Figure 16-1) is Apple’s consumer-level application for managing video and creating movies. Like iPhoto, iMovie is designed to easily allow people like you and me to quickly create great-looking movies from our video collections. This is especially useful now that the ability to shoot video is everywhere from our phones to our digital cameras. While entire books are written on creating movies with iMovie, in this chapter we will cover the basics, including

  • Importing videos

  • Managing your clips with events

  • Creating new iMovie projects

  • Building movies from your clips and photos

  • Adding text, transitions, and music to your movie

  • Exporting your movie

iMovie provides a single window divided into areas that help you quickly assemble and edit a movie.
