I
have really learned a lot by watching the Lynda.com iMovie '11 Essential
Training. I applied what I have learned when I made my RILS video.
First, I recorded each segment using iMovie. I placed all of the video in
the new project by selecting each clip and clicking the add button from the
advanced tools bar. I did not want to appear in my video so I decided to
use the "cutaway" feature to insert my photos. I took a lot of
photos and screen shots while implementing my RILS project. I made a slideshow in iPhoto complete with
background music and saved it as a movie. Then, I imported my slideshow
into iMovie. I selected the slideshow from the events panel and dragged
it to the appropriate place in the new project. I had the advanced tools
turned on so the pop menu came up automatically. I chose the "Cutaway"
option. I did not appear on my video, however, my voice did. Then I
added blank title pages to create enough length in my video so that I could
show the entire slideshow. I inserted a
title page at the beginning of the new project.
I also inserted rolling credits at the end. I used the rolling credits before but could
not figure out how to make the credits scroll more slowly. They flew by so fast that you could barely
read them. I decided to try adding multiple
clips and adding just a few words to each to see if that would slow it down. Sure enough!
It worked! I previewed my new
project to make sure that everything worked properly. I realized that the background music was too loud so I simply double clicked on the slideshow in the new project, then selected audio, and turned it down to about 9%. I previewed the video again it was ready to share. I exported my New Project and uploaded to
Viddler and YouTube. Below is my finished project.
