Editing videos with clip trimming and slip is an excellent tool to utilize for cutting down film to meet transition timing precisely. The action menu located on each clip shows various selections for editing including Clip Trimmer and Precision Editor. The Clip Trimmer allows the director to precisely add extra footage to clips as desired and the Precision Editor gives the director control over where the previous clip ends and where the next clip begins. Also, the addition of split clip editing for dividing a particular clip to insert another in-between, awesome ability. Rotating is a lesson I am happy Mr. Chow discussed. I have a clip of my drumline from a digital still camera and I decided to try and record them wide angled. Now the clip lays on its side during review. Now with the rotating knowledge gained, I can finally fix this clip!






The addition of photos along with titles to videos is another cool feature of iMovie that is of interest to me. During the incorporation of photo lesson, Mr. Chow explains how to adjust your photos within video clips by duration, the exact location, and how the photo will appear. He also explained how to add different headings offered by iMovie to your clips. There are several options for inserting photos to clips including side by side, picture within picture, and inserting the photo for full screen view during video. In order to access this tool, click on the camera link on the tool bar, locate photos of choice within iphotos and drag the specific photo over there area of the clip you would want the photo to show.





 Stabilization is another feature used for those clips that are hard to view due to cameraman nervousness! To access this tool, click on the action menu and click clip adjustment. After iMovie analyze the clip it will determine whether or not your clip is  unusable due to instability. Green and blue screen effect is an amazing tool! Green/blue green effect allows true hollywood movies special effects in the comfort of your home. To utilize this feature, you must have a green or blue background for starters. Select the video using the green/blue background. Drag the video into an original video and click on the green screen selection to create the effect. iMovie also offers several original backgrounds to use as well.
