PE1 iMovie

W2-Practical Experience – iMovie

Marita Excited about iMovie

In this assignment, I will illustrate my learning through three-blog post. Also, I have included screen shots and a video embed of my own iMovie creation.

We were asked to view the iMovie ’11 Essential Training in three one-hour sessions. However, because of my job duties, I was not able to view the videos in the requested format.

My first impression of this assignment was why would our instructor assign a tool so advance. I had never  thought about using iMovie, or any video-editing tool at this level. Moreover, I do not own a camera or video recorder, so one would say, I am a bit behind the times. 

In my first session, I was able to view the videos: Getting Started, Importing Video, and Understanding the Interface.  After viewing the video on the interface, I realized that iMovie was user friendly and 

operated from one pane, which is split into several sections.   I have listed them below:

·      Project Pane on the top left

·      Tool bar in the middle

·      Events at the bottom

·      No save button- iMovie will save automatically

In addition, under the Importing Video section, the tool used to capture live action stood out for me since this was the only way for me to incorporate video for the assigned lesson.
