In these four chapters, we cover the following topics:

  • Chapter 1 introduces you to the user interface you encounter when you start using iMovie and iDVD and the basics of how the programs work. It also gives you some history, telling how the programs reached their current forms.

  • Chapter 2 provides guidance on how to plan your movie and how to shoot the best footage you can. It then walks you through getting your video into iMovie.

  • Chapter 3 explores using iMovie's Event Library for organizing your video clips and working with Events.

  • Chapter 4 introduces iMovie tools that help you sort through your Event Library, mark the footage you want to use, and eliminate video segments that just don't measure up to your standards.
