Introduction
iMovie is a media (video, audio and still images) editing program for Macintosh OS X. It is also included with the iLife suite. With iMovie you may import video from external sources, edit video, add sound, such as background music, add transitions and titles, export clips for use on the Internet, , and also prepare a movie to be burned to DVD using iDVD. External sources include iPhones, iPods, iPads, DV recorders, SD cards and many others. iMovie works together with iDVD, iTunes, and iPhoto to allow users to have very comprehensive media editing options.
When using a computer in an academic lab, you must be aware of specific things when working with iMovie. The files will be too large to save on your home directory so it is recommended that you use an external storage device such as a flash drive, SD card or external hard drive. Please DO NOT save iMovie projects to your home directory or the local storage on the machine.
Starting a Project
To begin working with iMovie you need to change the project directory from the default to your external storage device.
- First locate your external storage device. In this example the external device is a flash drive that's named iMovie Test (underlined in red).
- Right click (control + click also works) and click new project.
