Description

My goal is to be your guide and get you editing in iMovie right away. No fluff - all of the lessons are professionally produced and edited. They are clear, concise, and straight to the point. You can even follow along step-by step using the provided practice media. By the conclusion of this course you will be an iMovie Master!

Many of us are overwhelmed by the number of pictures and videos we've collected ever since the inception of the high-quality cameras of today's smart phones and other digital cameras. What do we do with it all? If you own an Apple computer, the answer is iMovie! The latest version (v10) is the most intuitive version yet. Best of all it's free with all Macs.

We'll start with a brief overview of the application. Then you'll learn how to import your media (videos, pictures, audio), and start editing. Along the way you'll create a short movie that incorporates, videos, images, text, music, sound effects and voice over. This format allows you to quickly learn the basics. You could stop there and you would definitely be proficient in iMovie. BUT, after the basics you'll also learn the best and easiest way to create a compelling photo montage. After that we'll dive into more advanced topics such as color correction, working with green screen footage, and a whole lot more. Again, my goal is to transform you from an iMovie novice to an iMovie Master!
