iMovie Tutorial

I just watched a video about how to use iMovie. To get started, you must have a video on a camera already. You can then hook up the camera to the computer with a USB Cord and import the contents of the camera to iMovie. You have to option to upload every picture and video, or just to upload the ones of your choosing. Once you have done that, you can use select clips from the folder in iMovie and drag them to a movie window.

You can add titles and transitions to your movie. The title goes at the beginning of the project and labels what the video is about. You can choose your own title. transitions switch slides in the project in an interesting way. There are many preset titles and transitions you can choose from, or you can create your own.

Radio Podcast

For this project, we created a Radio Podcast to simulate reading a news story on the radio. I picked a story from The Baltimore Sun about the Ravens winning the Super Bowl. First I picked my story, then I found pictures to go with the story, and finally I put it all into a podcast on Garage Band. I included intro and outro music and a title and credit slide to go along with it.

This was of professional quality that my boss was looking for and she should put it on on the air because it met all of the criteria. This is not a process I would like to help out with in the future because it was not extremely fun. I also do not have a radio voice. So, while the podcast got the job done, it wasn't the most entertaining podcast in the world because of my voice.
