Really nicely done. Helpful.

This is a good idea. Hope you do more of them.

It should be worth noting however, that unless you've got a super duper fast computer, it's not likely to export to H.264 that fast. H.264 takes A LONG TIME to encode.

For me anyway.

Is this account going to be kind of like the video FAQ we (I)'ve wanted for so long? If so, woohoo!

i need a mac!

Very helpful Dalas, great job. I really like how you chose to take advantage of the "zoom" function in Tiger.

good idea.

....and WOW! iMovie is MUCH better than windows movie maker

To get the clips in from iPhoto, you can also go to "Media," click Photos, and then scroll through and select the movies you want (very helpful if you have a smart playlist with only movies in it).

question dallas: what programme are u using for screen capturing?

very helpful.

Que Pasa!

Super helpful - thanks!!! I was missing the vital "export" step (duh)

Awesome, thanks. I didn't realise that I had to export it. Merci beaucoup!

This was really helpful dalas. even though i use fcp, for some reason imovie i honestly can't figure out imovie. hahhah! I get messed up everytime but your tutorial made it all clear.

I'm gonna steal your mail.

i finally watched this tutorial. i didn't know i needed to watch this so bad. thank you thank you thank you. you deserve millions. millions!

Ahhhhh!! Just what I need! Thanks so much Dalas!!!! You are so cool!!

This was very well done. Even after using iMovie for years, it's great to see how someone else gets the job done another way. I had never known what to set the key frame to and the bits/sec was also always a mystery. Very cool.

Very well done, kudos 2 u!

Thanks, very helpful!

Sweet! Thanks Dalas!

Whoa! I never knew iMovie could trim. Yay @ FCP* :)

*Final Cut Pro

Very useful, mostly because of the compression advice.

You're going to have to upgrade this with the new fancy iMovie 08!

i thin this may sound silly...but do you need a mac to run imovie ir does a pc run it too. PLease be gentle with me , im somewhat of a technophobe....but im trying people

oh okay thanks dalas

Hey anyone have a compression setting other than Dalas' suggestion they like/love? (thanks for the tutorial Dalas). I think I need to get a "real" video camera to improve the quality of my clips (using a canon powershot)

Oh when exporting my option under file is "share" not "export". Don't know if I am using an old version.

How can I upload an imovie?

Excellent!

Now I got it! Thank's a lot!

Excellent video tutorial, thank you Dalas.

Thank you so much! All I needed to know was how to use the selector (from 3:15sec to 4:05)!

Hey, great tutorial. Can you guys make an updated version for the new iMovie? It's pretty different from the HD version. They pretty much rebuilt the entire thing from scratch.

Really helpful tutorial. I wonder if iMovie will run okay on my MacBook.

that was awesome.. i loved the getting mail video..

I would like to see a tutorial for iMovie´08. Thanks.

iMovie '08 is even more simple. but it is different! Thanks for the tutorial.

I All Ready Knew all of that, and also, this video is obsolete. Not Every Thing In This Video Still accurate with iMovie.

I have a friend who wants to use his iSight cam and iMovie HD to create some banjo pickin' video clips of himself. I was planning on tutoring him this evening via iChat on how to do that. This will be a GREAT reference for him when he forgets everything I teach him. ;-) Good job.

Hmm maybe you should make a new one for the new version of iMovie

Thank you, I was wondering why my first upload looked awful...I went back and followed these instructions exactly, and now it looks great (I use iMovie 5).

good tutorial.
