Learn iMovie
Import video from your latest video devices and dig
those old DV tapes out of the shoe box. With iMovie you
can import, organize, and edit your video, and bring
those memories back to life.
During this tutorial, you’ll bring your video into iMovie, arrange your Event Library, and
play or skim through your video. You’ll also find and mark your favorite parts for instant
access to your favorite moments, and mark the parts you want to delete.
You’ll trim and crop your video and create a video slideshow with titles, transitions,
photos, and music that’s ready to share with friends on the web, your iPod, or on your
high definition television (HDTV) through Apple TV.
Step 1: Import Video into iMovie
To begin working with your video, you must first transfer it to iMovie. Importing video
into iMovie does not erase it from your recording device.
In this step you’ll open iMovie and import video from a video recording device or
import a video file you’ve already stored on a hard disk, and start building your
video library.
