Editor's Notes
- Click “New” on the top left corner, and then select either “Movie” or “Trailer.” Once you have selected, pick a theme. For movies, you can also pick “No Theme.” To select a theme, double click on the theme you have chosen. When you do this, iMovie will ask you to name your project and pick an event. Once iMovie takes you back to the main screen, select the project you want to work on.
- To import clips, pictures, and audio into a movie project, you will need to go to File, and select: Import Media. You will be able to choose what you want to import and if you have a camera connected it will pop up with your clips there. This will import your clips to be shown in iMovie. You will then be able to decide what clips you want to use in your movie. To select certain clips, move your mouse over the movie clips and it will turn into a yellow selection tool. You can select what amount you will use for your movie. If you want to select them all, use “Command, A”. You will then drag the clips highlighted in yellow down to the editing bar below.
- Once you import one ‘line’ of clips, you can put another clip on top of the other. If you place the clips to the top of the original, the top video and its audio will play along with the original audio. If you place a second clip below the original clip you will just get the second clip’s audio, along with the original clip’s video and audio. You can adjust the audio in multiple ways. If you want to fade in or fade out, there are tiny little dots on the audio that allow you to fade. To do this, click and drag the dots with arrows that look like plain triangles, to where you want the audio to be at the full volume. You can also go to the tool bar above where the video is playing and click the ‘volume’ icon and you can adjust the loudness of that clips audio. You can mute a clip by clicking on the smaller ‘volume’ icon next to the adjustment spectrum.
- To further adjust the audio, click on a clip so that a yellow box surrounding the clip will appear. Then select the “Noise Reduction and Equalizer” icon. Here you can reduce the background noise in a clip. To do this, check the box that reads, “Reduce background noise,” and then choose to what percentage you would like the background noise to be reduced. You can also select different options in the “Equalizer” which allow you to further control the audio. You can also select the “Visual and Audio Effects” option in the tools above the clips. If you select a different audio effect, you can adjust pitch and more.
- Also in the “Visual and Audio Effects” icon, you can adjust the video visuals. Options include, “Flipped,” “Cartoon,” “Film Grain,” and more. For other visual effects, click on “Color Correction.” The blue slider will allow you to adjust the brightness of a clip. The multicolored slider will allow you to adjust the saturation of a clip. The blue and yellow slider will allow you to adjust the temperature of a clip to make it look colder or warmer. There is also the “Color Balance” icon on the left side that allows you to match one color to another, control the white balance, and adjust skin tone balance.
- To adjust the opacity of a clip, select the clip for the yellow box to appear. This will only work when videos have been laid on top of each other, and then only on the top video. Then select “Video Overlay Settings.” Select “Cutaway,” then move the “Opacity” bar to the desired opacity. You can also adjust the “Fade” bar here, which allows you to have the overlay video fade in and fade out. If you select “Green/Blue Screen” the lower video will play in any blue or green screen areas. You can do a side-by-side image, or a “Picture in Picture.”
- To trim a clip, select the clip you want to be trimmed so that a yellow box appears to surround the whole clip. When you hover your mouse above the edges of the clips, an arrow appears. To trim the clip, move this arrow to the place you want to clip to begin or end. To separate or ‘split’ a clip, you can click the part of the clip where you want to the split to occur. Then, on the upper toolbar, select “Modify,” then “Split.” Do this again to the end of the clip you want. Then, the clip can be modified and edited separately from the other clips in the project. You can also to this to delete a portion of a clip.
- If the video is shaky, select the “Stabilization” icon on the top. Then check “Stabilize Shaky Video,” and move the bar to the desired stabilization. If the video has a rolling shutter, select “Fix Rolling Shutter” and choose to what degree you would like this fixed.
- To adjust the speed of a video, select the “Speed” icon on the top. The select if you would like the video to be faster or slower, and then to what degree you would like this adjusted. You can also select “Custom,” which allows you to put in a specific speed. Anything under 100% will be slower, but anything above 100% will be faster. Here you can also choose to have the video play in reverse. If you do this, the sound will change. To save the sound, select “Preserve Pitch” on the right.
- To add a transition, select “Transitions” under content library on the bottom left corner. Choose a transition you like, then click and drag the transition between the two clips where you would like the transition to be.
- To add a title slide, select “Titles” under the “Content Library” on the bottom left corner. Choose the title slide you like, the click and drag the title to where you would like it to play (i.e., the beginning of the video). Once you do this, click the title on the viewer and change the text to the desired title. You can also change the font, font size, centering, and add effects such as bold and italics.
- You can also add backgrounds and maps. To do this, click “Maps and Backgrounds” under content library. To insert it into the video, select a map and drag it where you would like it to play. Under “Route,“ insert a beginning location. Then either select an end location or select “None.” If you would like a background, select a background and drag it where you would like it to play. This can be used to make “boring” slides more interesting. Drag the background on top of, for example, a title slide, and adjust the opacity so both can be seen.
- To add sound, click iTunes and click and drag the selected music where you would like it to play. To add a sound effect, click “Sound effect” under content library and click and drag the audio to the place in the video where you would like it to be heard (Below the clip).
- When you are done editing your iMovie project, you can share it with other people. To do this, click “File” on the top of the screen, then hover the mouse over “Share” where you can select different options such as “Email,” “Youtube,” and “Facebook.” Once you select an option, you can change the name of the video, and more. The options will be different depending on how you choose to share the video.
