Part IV. Editing and Sharing Movies with Mac and Windows Programs

Editing and Sharing Movies with Mac and Windows Programs

In this part...

When you're ready to graduate from making movies the FlipShare way (covered in the previous part), you're ready to pick one of the chapters in this part to turn your Mac or Windows computer (and yourself!) into a more powerful video-editing and production machine. Whether you want to control the speed at which your scenes fade from one to the next, or narrate parts of your movie with voice-over recordings or onscreen subtitles, the chapters in this part will show you how to do those things and more.

For Mac users, you'll dive into Apple's iMovie program, which comes with every new Mac (or you can purchase the latest version of iLife, which includes the newest version of iMovie and a bunch of other programs for making movies on your Mac).

If you're a Windows Vista or Windows 7 moviemaker in the making, you can fi nd here how to access the latest version of Windows Live Movie Maker that you can download for free and install on your computer. Keep reading to see how to use that program's editing tools to make livelier movies than the ones you can make using the simple but limited FlipShare program.
