This month featured Phil Beall,

Newsletter editor, demoing iMovie and

iDVD. He began by telling us the four main

items needed to include in a digital movie.

This includes a digital Camera, a Firewire

computer, iMovie, and a large hard drive.

He then went on to explain the process of

making a movie. The first step is to plan the

shots, trying to include different angles if

possible and to take a little extra video

around your shots, this can be edited out

later if not needed. Also, think a bit like a

director when filming to make sure to get

all the shots needed to complete the project.

The last thing to remember is the general

rule of thumb for video editing: for every

10 minutes of video 40 minutes is required

for editing purposes!

Phil went on to show how to plug in the

camera, and use the computer to control it,

in order to download some of the video

previously recorded from the March meeting

with Arvin from LaCie. When the video is

downloaded into the computer it

automatically puts it into clips. These clips

don’t always break systematically, but that

does not matter because they are all

numbered and there no frames are lost

between each one. The maximum size of a

clip is 9 minutes and 28 seconds long, which

in usually longer than one film one scene.

Once all the video has been downloaded,

save, and remember to save often while

working, as iMovie will sometimes crash.

Also, then if things mess up while editing,

the original video can be download again.

Phil suggested that it is a good idea to go

through each clip in fast forward and make

some notes about what to do at certain places

in the video. There may be some sound

that doesn’t work in a certain clip and

could be moved somewhere else. Or a

short piece of video that would be good

to put in a clip to give two views of

something.

The numbers on the bottom of each

clip mean minutes, seconds and frames,

with frames going up to 30. When trying

to get to an exact place in a clip it is hard

to do with the mouse so by using the

arrow keys movement is one frame at a

time.

On the ‘Time Line’, which is at the

bottom of the screen there is two different

views. One is a clip view and the other is a

clip and two audio track view. Use the Clip

view to bring in the clips and get the order

right, and then switch to the other view to

work with some of

the audio from

some of the clips.

Switching back and

forth between

views is allowed at

any time. The audio

stays with each clip

unless it is

‘Extract’ed from a

clip, which then

allows it to be

moved. Always be

aware when

moving audio to a

spot where

someone is speaking, as the voice and lips

need to be in unison. It is quite easy to place

the voice in the right spot using audio clip

view, zoom in very close to the clip and

then move the audio one frame at a

time as needed to line them up.

If something does not work, use the

‘undo’ function and go back as far as is

required.

A really couple of really neat features

incluede the ability to use iPhoto and

iTunes libraries at any spot in the video,

and also using the ‘Ken Burns’ effect

to make the photos move.

One of the things that Phil did was

use part of a clip twice in the movie. To

do this first remove the audio, insert

the clip in the new spot using other

audio.

The last part is the opening titles and

ending credits. Try not to get to fancy as

they can be hard to read on the TV.

Once all the editing is complete, have

one last look at the whole project before

sending it to iDVD. The last step to do in

iMovie is to set up the ‘Chapters’ for iDVD,

giving them the final names to use in the

finished movie.

In iDVD set up the ‘Theme’ first, which

can be changed anytime. Just as in iMovie

the ability to add more music, pictures and

set motion is available, along with setting

the transitions between movie parts. Once

this is complete, preview the project parts.

It is not necessary to watch the whole movie,

just check the DVD features.

Make a final save and then burn to a

DVD and the movie is done!

Copies of the final version of the movie

taken at the March 16

meeting featuring

Arvin Pasildo, from LaCie, are for sale at a

cost of $5.00. The movie is about 1 1/2

hours long and are very informative. See

Robert Scales to purchase one.

A large attentive crowd watched Phil Beall demoing

some iMovie and iDVD editing.

MacWest Vice President, Robert Hausselman

presented out-going MacWest Secretary, Margit

Hansson, with a gift from the club.

Robert Hausselman won one of the raffle prizes

and which was presented by Margit Hansson.
