Practical Experience 2 with iMovie Day 2 (9-22-2010)

Day two-
Today I learned that if you press the option key + command key, it allows you to trim +1 or -1second of your clip on your project. For extreme fine tuning skills, you can click at the beginning/ending of your clip (in your project), then press and hold the option key while adjusting with your arrows. (this allows you to add or delete frames. Pretty cool huh!

I also was reminded that with a transition we want to add cohesiveness. The speaker made a good point, "How often do commercials/tv shoes use these exotic transitions? It shows signs of a beginner." He also made a good point to use the transitions for special occasions or when you really want to emphasize a point.

I learned about "pinning" music to specific clips so that the music goes with the clip as it is moved around on the project box.


(I must admit, I really wish I had watched this during the first month. It would have saved me a lot of time! And, I think I would have better understood how to make a project in iMovie. What a valuable resource Lynda.com is. I am thankful for the opportunity to for the chance to pick a topic of my choice to learn more about.)
