This week we had the opportunity to export our door scene project from the iPad to an iMac and do some editing in iMovie. I was really excited about editing, with creative thoughts of eerie sound effects, choppy transitions to create tension, and super close ups to show more suspense.
Although I had a lot of fun working with iMovie, I found it really difficult to create the images that I wanted. When recording the video using the iMovie app on the iPad, the app automatically adds transition between clips. I was not able to delete those transitions when working on the iMac. I split clips many times in many places, but was never able to rid the clips of the ghost images of transitions past- those from the iPad app, that is. I spent the time allotted in class working with my video. You can see the fruits of my labor in the video with this post. The editing is okay, but I feel that with more experience and time I could have added so much more interest to our video through the editing process.
Interesting review. I really like imovie but i sympathize your frustration. What would you want to make an imovie about? I made one for my dad's 60th birthday and I am glad Dr. Penny taught us some editing features. i didnt know about them the first time I did imovie!
ReplyDeleteI was just referring to the door project. I thought that the imovie on the iPad was really easy to use. I also like the ease of using imovie on a Mac once you get used to the controls. However, I felt that imovie on a Mac was more difficult to use when the video was imported from an iPad. That is when I had difficulty changing transitions.
