iMovie

Above is a video I made using iMovie of my first scuba trip. Though the steps are fairly easy to understand in making a slide show movie, it took me a lot longer than I thought. Every time I put transitions in my movie, it would mess up my slides. I decided to not use any transitions. Another issue I had was editing my music. My song lasted about a minute loner than my slide show, and I did not realize this until I exported my movie into a quicktime format. It was pretty easy to fix. All I did was search on Google "How to edit music on iMovie," and I found step by step instructions. The internet is a wonderful source. An issue I do not know how to resolve is the quality of my pictures. My instructions were to make sure all my pictures were 72 dpi and to export my movie into CD quality. I did these things, and my pictures turned out really blurry! I have not watched the video online yet, so maybe they pictures will look better there. We will see! Working on any computer program you have not used before will always have its ups and downs. I feel that once I have a better handle on using iMovie, making and editing movies will go by a lot faster.
