Imovie

Imovie 06 is the program i am using to edit my footage to create my film opening, though i have talked about it in a previous post i am going to go into greater detail now.

 This is Imovies layout, on the right is a box where you can click and drag and drop video clips. you then cut and trim these and place them in a order on the bottom of the screen. You can then use the 5 tabs that are also on the right of the screen. these give you the options of adding music/ titles/ sound/ chapters and other options to enhance your movie. Once you have fnished editing together your music you can publish the movie.

Using Imovie hasn't been to hard to get the hand off as i have had a lot of practise using windows movie maker that is quite similar, and in my opinion is harder.

Strengths - Simple to use and get a grip with, Easy to understand layout.
Weaknesses - Lacks some functions, if they is too much happening it quite often crashes.
