3 Creating Your First Movie

This chapter presents the general steps for creating a

movie and provides an overview of the major features of

iMovie HD. If you have video ready to import into iMovie

HD, you can try out making your first movie.

Steps for Creating a Movie

If you’ve never worked on a movie before, here are the general steps you take. You

might follow a different order depending on your work preferences.

1 Film or capture your video.

2 Add any photos, designs, or images you might want in your movie to your iPhoto

library.

3 Add any music for your movie to your iTunes library or select the CD you’d like to

import music from. You can also create your own music clips with GarageBand and

export them into iTunes.

4 Import your video footage into iMovie HD.

5 Review the imported clips, deleting those you don’t want, and naming clips to make

them easily identifiable.

6 Make rough edits of your clips to cut them to approximate sizes.

7 Plan the order of your clips, and plan transitions and any special effects you’ll need.

8 Drag your rough cut clips, photos, or other images into the clip or timeline viewer in

the order you want.

9 Add titles where appropriate to your rough cut.

10 Polish the timing of your video clips and add transitions.

11 With the clip sequence of your movie in good shape, add audio clips to your sound

track. Record any voiceover, add music, and position any sound effects.
