Digital Storytelling Cookbook7 Introduction to iMovie 5.0Digital Storytelling was therein December of 1999 wheniMovie was announced atApple Computer. CDS cofounder Dana Atchley andassociate Harry Marks hostedthe first two iMovie workshopsfor youth and Apple Masters atApple’s Cupertino campus.Since that time, CDS haswatched the development ofiMovie to the current version5.0. iMovie has grown to be anincreasingly sophisticated toolfor telling digital stories, and we are confident that it will become even better. iMovie isalso now supported by a number of third party companies that provide excellentenhancements for this tool, making it near-to-competitive with the professional digitalvideo editing toolset.iMovie - The Video EditoriMovie was developed as a the first real “plug and play” video editor taking advantage of the FirewireDV capabilities that were being built onto the Apple Computer platforms. The idea was to simply plug adigital video camera to your computer, turn on the camera, open iMovie, and start grabbing and editingvideo. When you are done, you could record the finished movie back to tape or make a multimediamovie for playing on your computer, a CD ROM or over the web. Before we explore the use of iMoviefor telling a digital story using mainly still images and a bit of video, we want to demonstrate the basicsof iMovie, in grabbing and editing video clips. If you are doing this tutorial at home, choose a videotape from your library, and connect your camera to computer by Firewire cable. Make sure the camerais in VCR mode and on.To open iMovie, find the iMovie icon on yourdesktop in your dock and double-click.iMovie will ask if you want toreturn to an existing project,or make a new project.Choose Create Project.To start with we want to setsome preferences for iMovie.Go to the iMovie pull downmenu to Preferences.55

Chapter 7: Introduction to iMovieiMovie can assist you in the process of building your movie in a number of ways. Forour demonstration, we want you to make sure the Start new clip at each scene breakpreference is on (as shown). This preference means that asyou capture video from your camera, the computer willseparate out into individual clips, every time you stoppedthe camera to shoot a new scene. You can close thepreference window.Now, make sure you set iMovie to capture mode bytoggling the blue button to the Camera icon. iMoviewill automatically control the camera, so you canplay, stop, rewind and fast forward to theappropriate parts of your video tape. In our example, we are grabbing three clips fromour video. To record, click on the Play button and then the Import button. Click thesame button again to stop the video capture.As iMovie sees the edits, it drops the new clips into theClip Pane. From this pane, you can re-order (good forstoryboarding), duplicate (copy/paste),and re-name the clips.To rename, click on the words at thebottom of the thumbnail image in theclip pane.Once you are ready to edit, you canswitch from Camera-Capturing toScissors-Editing.Editing occurs when you drag the clips from the clip panewindow to the track along the bottom of the iMoviewindow. There are two modes of editing, Clip View andTimeline. Clip View presents each edit in a row.To play the edit, you can click on the play button, and youwill see each edit appear and the slider moves across thebottom of the display.Clip View ModeThe alternative editingmode is called theTimeline mode. Toswitch toTimelineTimeline View Modemode, click on the iconof a clock as shown. InTimeline mode you can see a representation of the duration of the clips in time goingfrom left to right, a small thumbnail image of the clips contents, and below the clipstwo audio tracks for editing your voiceover and soundtrack.At it’s most essential, this is how iMovie works, you capture, you sort, you edit. Manyvideo projects could be produced with only these simple steps. But making a digitalstory, emphasizing still images and a bit of video, requires us
