PE3_iMovie

The last third of the iMovie tutorial on Lynda.com is probably the one I will refer back to time and time again.  It covered topics including working with audio, music, and voiceovers, as well as all kinds of methods for sharing movies.

The tools for adding, editing, and manipulating sounds and music are very user friendly - moving a bar up and down to adjust volume on a clip or an entire project?  It doesn't get any easier than that!  I also think the built in options for ambient sounds, jingles, and music are awesome - it saves time and you don't have to worry about copyright issues.

I am also going to reference the "sharing" section of the tutorial frequently - I don't use Facebook or Twitter, so sharing video is all new to me.  I don't do it often enough to remember how to easily do it, so it's great to know where the instructions are.  

                              

The sharing option that I will use is sharing my videos and photos to my Mobile Me Gallery.  Mobile Me hosts photo and web galleries for subscribers, but you can sign up for a 60 day free trial to check it out.  Once you set up the capability for your MAC to utilize Mobile Me, you can share your videos and photos with only people you allow, or with anyone.  You can also choose to allow people to download your pictures and videos, or not.  I will be curious to see how this application interphases with my phone!
