iMovie: Take One

The biggest obstacle I face with iMovie is that it changed drastically from the older version (shown above) to the newer, iLife 09, version. I use it heavily with my language arts students for several of their projects during the school year. I admit, however, that they used it more than I. What I did was more of troubleshooting then actually knowing how to use the program efficiently. But I must say that doing what I did for three years kept me the iMovie guru at school (amazing!).
Anyway, I had barely anytime to really get under my belt the older edition but I thought once I opened the program, it would be like riding a bike ...but for me it would be a trike or had training wheel. Nevertheless, I was astonished to see that I fell flat on my face because the program now than before was like comparing apples to oranges. I didn't know what I was looking at and to make matters worst I thought I could finish in less than three hours. NOT!
I watched Lynda.com hoping they could catch me up to speed, and honestly the videos were very easy to understand. I was very happy with what I learned but still rather upset with the new changes and leery as to how I was going to accomplish my new task of a time constraint video (because I am long winded with information).
If by "time constraint video," you mean the 1-minute video, you did GREAT! I thought that video was excellent.
ReplyDeleteChange is always tough, but I'm sure there are some features in the new version even the GURU didn't know about or have in the older version. :)
Hang in there!
