iMovie HD Tutorial

This chapter takes you step by step through the process of building your own movie in iMovie HD.
You can use video from a variety of sources and devices to create a movie in iMovie HD. If you have some digital video in your camcorder or digital video footage on your computer, you can follow the steps in this chapter to automatically transfer it to iMovie HD, edit the clips, add transitions and a title, and lay down a soundtrack.
Step One: Start a New Project
The first time you open iMovie HD, you see the Project window, shown below, which gives you several options for creating a movie. In this step, you will select one of these options to create a new project.
To start a new iMovie HD project: 1 Click the iMovie HD icon in the Dock. If you dont see the icon in the Dock, open the Applications folder and double-click the iMovie HD icon. 2 Click the Create a New Project button. 3 Type a name for your project in the Project field.
4 Click the pop-up menu labeled Where and choose a folder to store your movie project. The default location is the Movies folder in your home folder. Saving your movie in this folder will allow other iLife applications, such as iDVD or GarageBand, to find it easily. 5 Click Create. A new project file for your iMovie HD project is created in the location you chose. Eventually it will contain all the video clips, transitions, effects, and audio used in your movie.
Step Two: Import Video Into iMovie HD
iMovie HD can transfer, or import, video in many video formats and from many different types of camcorders, including DV camcorders (including those that support widescreen) and high definition (HDV) camcorders. In most cases, iMovie HD can automatically recognize and import the video youre using, so you dont have to pay attention to video formats. In this step, you will import your own video into your iMovie project. If you have a camcorder with a FireWire connection, follow the instructions to connect your camcorder and import the video using the capture controls in iMovie HD. If you have another type of digital video device or have footage in a file on your computer, see the instructions on page 13. To import video from a camcorder: 1 Set the camcorder to VTR mode (some camcorders call this Play or VCR) and turn it on, if necessary. 2 Connect your camcorder to your computer using a FireWire cable.

Chapter 2 iMovie HD Tutorial
If your camcorder uses a dock, connect the dock to the computer and place the camcorder in the dock. The illustration below shows how to connect a camcorder to an iMac using a FireWire cable.
3 In iMovie HD, click the mode switch (shown below) to set iMovie HD to camera mode. Note: You must have a camcorder connected and turned on to be able to switch to camera mode and see the capture controls. If youre having trouble getting your camcorder to communicate with iMovie HD, click the Connection Help button in the iMovie monitor. It connects you to useful information in iMovie HD Help. If you have more than one camcorder, or a camcorder and iSight are connected, choose your camcorder from the pop-up menu that appears when you switch to camera mode.
4 Use the capture controls shown below to review your tape in the iMovie monitor.

Import

Rewind

Fast forward

Play Pause
5 Rewind the tape to a few seconds before the point where you want to start importing. 6 Click Play. 7 When you see the frame where you want to begin importing, click Import (shown above) or press the Space bar. During the import process, the footage plays in the iMovie monitor. You can import all the footage, or just parts that you choose. 8 Click Import again or press the Space bar when you want to stop importing.
Tip: To adjust the volume of your computer while youre working in iMovie, use the volume slider below the iMovie monitor. This slider doesnt increase or decrease the level of sound that viewers of the video will eventually hear. It only changes the volume on your computer as you play and listen to your audio.
9 When the footage you want is captured in the Clips pane, turn off your camcorder and disconnect it from your computer.
As you import your video footage from a camcorder connected via FireWire, iMovie HD detects where you made a break in recording and automatically divides the video into separate scenes, or clips. Each sequence of recorded video is then made into a video clip that is stored in the Clips pane, shown below.
Tip: You can use iMovie HD Preferences to change import settings, such as where imported clips go, whether iMovie creates new clips at scene breaks, and more. To see the settings you can adjust, choose iMovie HD > Preferences and click Import. In addition to transferring video from your camcorder, you can import video from a CD or DVD, or from other locations on your computers hard disk.

To import video from a disc or other location: 1 Choose File > Import. 2 Locate and select the file you want to import. 3 Click Open.
You can also drag files from your desktop or from applications like iTunes or iPhoto to the Clips pane. In iMovie HD 6, you can also drag, copy, and paste clips from one iMovie HD project to another.
Did You Know?Importing Video From a Flash Device
MPEG-4 camcorders may have a USB connector instead of a FireWire connector. To transfer video from one of these devices, connect the device to your computer using the USB port. Your MPEG-4 camera or device appears as a hard disk on your desktop. You can open the hard disk icon and drag the video footage into your iMovie HD project or to your desktop for importing later. When you import footage from an MPEG-4 device, your video is imported as a single clip, iMovie HD does not break it up into clips automatically. You cannot use the capture controls to import your video or control your camera, nor can you use the Magic iMovie feature to import video automatically.
Step Three: Choose the Video You Want to Keep
To pare down your video to the best shots, youll play through each clip and cut, or crop, the footage. Each second of video is made up of many separate pictures, or frames. You can play each clip all the way through, or play frame by frame to find the exact moments where you want to crop. In this step, you will preview the clips you imported and crop or delete unwanted footage. Use the iMovie playback controls, shown below, to preview clips.

Rewind Play Full Screen

Play/Pause
To play a clip, you can do any of the following: Select the clip and click Play in the iMovie playback controls. Click Rewind to move to the beginning of your movie or sequence of clips. Click Play Full Screen to play the video in full-screen mode. (Click anywhere on the screen or press the Esc key to return to leave full-screen mode.) Shots of the floor, blurry action, and unflattering poses can be disposed of right away, so only the footage you want remains. You may want to delete some clips completely.

Depending on the title style, you may have other options as well. For example, if the title has motion, use the arrow buttons to the left of the text fields to choose the direction the title moves. When the title or text is set up how you want it, you can place it in your movie. 8 Select the clip in the clip viewer where you want to place the title. 9 Select the Over black checkbox if you want to add the title over a black clip. To add it directly over the video clip, make sure Over black is not selected. 10 Click Add. If your video clip is longer than the duration of the title, iMovie HD splits the clip at the point where the title ends. You can delete the split-off portion of the original clip or use it in your movie.
To change the color of a black clip: 1 Select the black clip and choose File > Show Info. 2 Click the Color box. 3 Choose the color you want in the Colors window. 4 Click Set. Once you add a title to your movie, you can always make changes to it. Just select the title clip in your movie, make the changes you want, and click Update. To remove a title, select the title clip and press the Delete key once. If you need to make the same change to more than one clip with text, select them all, and make the change once.
Step Seven: Make Adjustments to Clips
Now that you have a movie with video, photos, and a title, you may want to make some adjustments to your video clips. Most of the editing you do in iMovie occurs in the timeline viewer. In this step, youll learn how to make small or large changes to your video clips by trimming them in the timeline viewer.

Clip viewer button

To switch to the timeline viewer: m Click the timeline viewer button below the iMovie monitor. The timeline viewer button has a clock on it. Video clips appear in the top track in the timeline viewer. You can drag the slider in the bottom-left corner of the window to make clips appear larger or smaller in the timeline viewer. You may want to make the clips smaller to see more of them in the window, or make them larger for more precise editing. To quickly trim a clip: m Drag from the end of the clip toward the center of the clip. (The pointer changes shape to show where you can drag.)
The trimmed video is still present, but it wont appear in your movie. If you decide to lengthen the clip later, you can drag the end back out to restore all or part of the hidden video. When you drag the edge of a clip, the adjoining clips move (or ripple) along with it. Therefore, if you shorten or lengthen a clip, you shorten or lengthen your entire movie.

Pointer

Important: You cant use this method of trimming if clip volume levels are showing. To hide clip volume levels, choose View > Show Clip Volume Levels to remove the checkmark. (A selected item has a checkmark next to it; you choose the item again to deselect it.) You can take advantage of the ghosted playhead in iMovie HD to choose the exact frame where you want trimmed video to begin or end, then trim to that spot.

Ghosted playhead

To precisely trim a video clip: 1 Click the clip you want to edit in the timeline viewer. 2 Drag the playhead to the frame where you want the clip to begin or end. 3 Position the pointer over the end of the clip until you see the pointer change shape. 4 Drag the end of the clip to the ghosted playhead (shown above) to remove the frames that you want trimmed. A yellow line appears and the edge of the clip automatically snaps against the edge of the ghosted playhead when you reach the frame you selected in step 2. 5 Repeat the procedure on the other end of the clip, if you want. Once you begin trimming clips, youll notice a difference in the appearance of clips in the timeline viewer. In the illustration below you can see that full clips have rounded corners. Clips that have been trimmed or cropped have straight edges where theyve been shortened. You can always extend a clip with straight ends.
You get different results depending on where you place the pointer when you drag a clip. Dragging from the end shortens or lengthens a clip, while dragging from the center moves the clip to a different location in your movie. When you move a clip over another clip, the clip youre moving pushes aside the clip and all the adjoining clips, moving them all in the direction youre dragging. Any time you move a clip to the right, a gap is created. You can drag other clips to fill the gap, or you can leave a gap as a handy background for text or to add an extra dimension to a transition or effect. The illustration below shows what a gap looks like in the timeline viewer.
Tip: A fast way to close up a gap is to view it in the clip viewer, where it appears as a black clip. Select the black clip and delete it. Another way to quickly alter a clip is to split it in two. You may want to split a clip so that you can insert titles, add other clips or images, or reorder the sequence of clips. You can split clips that are in the Clips pane, clip viewer, or timeline viewer. You can also split audio clips in the timeline viewer.
To split a clip: 1 Click a clip to select it. 2 Position the playhead where you want to divide the clip. 3 Choose Edit > Split Video Clip at Playhead.
Did You Know?Adding Special Effects
You can add interesting effects to your movies to lend them special appeal, focus, or a sense of fun. iMovie HD offers a range of video effects that can make clips shake as if during an earthquake, fling sparkling fairy dust across the screen, filter a scene with passing fog, or add a streak of electricity to an image. Other effects change the brightness or contrast of the video, add slow motion, change colors, soften the focus, and more. To find out more about adding special effects to your movie, see iMovie HD Help.

Audio tracks

Audio checkboxes
If the sound in your video footage is noisy or unintelligible, you can take advantage of some of the new audio effects in iMovie HD, such as the Noise Reducer, to clean up or enhance the audio. If its not worth saving, you can always mute it. To mute an audio track: m Deselect the checkbox at the right end of the track (shown above).
Adding Audio to Your Movie
An easy way to add music to your video is to use the songs in your iTunes library or music youve created in GarageBand. You can also add sound effects to add drama or humor. To add audio to your movie: 1 Click Media, and then click the Audio button. 2 Click one of the audio sources in the list. Choose from built-in sound effects, GarageBand, or your iTunes library and playlists. You can search for a particular track by typing some words from the title in the search field. Click the Play button to the left of the search field to hear a track in the list before you add it to your movie. Note: To use music from a CD, you must first import the song into iTunes. 3 Move the playhead to the frame where you want the music to begin.
4 Click Place at Playhead. The audio file appears as an audio clip in the second audio track. If the audio doesnt start in the right place, simply drag the audio clip along the track until you see the frame where you want it to start in the iMovie monitor. Make sure you drag from the center of the clip, not the edge. 5 Preview your work by selecting the video clip where you added the audio and clicking Play in the iMovie playback controls.
Tip: You can also drag an audio file to the timeline viewer.
Did You Know?Working With Sound
You can enhance the sound in your movie by: Muting or quieting a videos audio track so that you can better hear a voiceover, sound effect, or music on another track. Adjusting the mix of the three tracks (for example, making the video tracks audio louder compared to the other tracks). Muting video clips entirely so that all you hear is the audio in the other tracks. Dragging one clip over another in the same audio track so that they overlap and you hear both clips at the same time. Using the iMovie HD graphic equalizer to remove wind noise or camera hum, or to adjust the bass or treble in a particular video or audio clip. You can also change the pitch of your audio and add reverb, delay, and other audio effects to make your movies sound better than ever. For more information about working with sound, see iMovie HD Help.

Adjusting the Length of Audio Clips
You can drag the ends of audio clips just like you do for video clips. Nothing is actually removed, so you can easily recover the audio you remove in this way by dragging the end of the audio clip back out. To shorten an audio track: 1 Click the View menu and make sure Show Clip Volume Levels is not selected. If it has a checkmark next to it, choose it again to remove the checkmark. 2 Position the pointer over the end of the clip you want to shorten. When its in the right position, the pointer changes shape. 3 Drag the end of the clip toward its center to shorten it. If you go too far, drag back out again. 4 Click the Play button to preview the results, then make any necessary adjustments.
Tip: If you need to lengthen a particular audio clip (for example, a sound effect), you can duplicate the audio clip and add it to the end of the previous clip. Then trim the new clip to keep just the part that you need.
Adjusting the Volume of Audio Clips
The volume of the sound in your movie is very important. If you set it too low, viewers may not be able to hear it. If you have audio playing in both audio tracks, youll also want to be able to adjust the volume for each track or for specific audio clips. To adjust the volume of the audio in your movie, you select the clips that you want to change and use the clip volume controls in the timeline viewer, shown below. These adjustments affect the playback volume of the final movie.

Volume levels

Clip volume control
You can select and change the volume of all your clips at once, or change them individually. To adjust the volume of an audio clip: 1 Select the clip, multiple clips, or a portion of a clip. 2 Choose View > Show Clip Volume Levels (so theres a checkmark next to it). A volume level bar appears in all audio clips to show the current volume level of each clip. 3 Click the speaker icon in the Clip volume control and drag the slider to adjust the volume up or down.
Tip: Once youre comfortable working with audio, you can make very fine adjustments to volume levels by clicking the volume level bars to place a marker, and then dragging the markers up or down to increase or decrease the volume. For more information, see iMovie HD Help.
If you make an adjustment to the volume while you are playing a clip, iMovie HD pauses playback and then immediately plays the clip with your adjustment. This makes it easier to get the results you want.
Did You Know?Using Advanced Sound Techniques
iMovie HD gives you the power and flexibility to make the most of the audio in your movie. You can split audio clips, drag clip volume levels to fade audio in and fade out, apply new audio effects, and use audio waveforms to synchronize audio with video.

For information about these and more advanced techniques for working with sound, see iMovie HD Help.
Step Ten: Share Your Movie
A great movie must be shared. With iMovie HD, there are many possibilities. You can: Send it in an email message Publish it on the Internet using iWeb Transfer it to an iPod Save it to DV or HDV tape Burn it on a DVD with iDVD Save it as a QuickTime movie in a variety of formats Send it via Bluetooth wireless technology to other compatible computers, mobile phones, personal digital assistants, and more Export it to GarageBand so that you can score an original soundtrack No matter which way you choose to view your movie, iMovie HD makes it easy to export a movie file in the proper format.
To share your movies with friends and family: m Choose Share and then choose how you want to share your movie. If you choose the standard export options, iMovie HD sets up the movie with the appropriate format automatically.
Tip: If you want to share just part of your movie, you can select the clip or clips you want to share and select the Share selected clips only checkbox. iMovie HD can also transfer your project to iDVD as a new iDVD project.
To export a movie to iDVD: m Choose Share > iDVD. iMovie HD takes a little while to compress and export your movie. (The time it takes depends on the length of your movie.) Its best not to use your computer for other tasks during the export process.
Tip: iMovie HD can also automatically import your video, compose your movie, and export it to iDVD using the Magic iMovie feature. When you create a movie with Magic iMovie, you can select the option to have your movie become a new iDVD project. To burn your movie to a DVD, youll need a computer with an optical drive capable of burning DVD discs.
Did You Know?Creating a Movie With Chapter Markers
If youre going to use your video in a DVD or video podcast, you may want to add chapter markers to your movie. This way, viewers can jump to a particular scene in the movie. You can even add URLs to chapter markers for your video podcast. When you share a movie with chapter markers to iDVD, iDVD automatically creates two buttons on the main DVD menu: a Play Movie button and a Scene Selection button.
