This short video demonstrates use of the iMovie Event Library to access your iMovie events (captured footage).

 

Creating Videos Using Photo To Movie

Photo To Movie (http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php) is a great, inexpensive, cross-platform software program that you can use to create videos from still images.  For this purpose it is much easier and quicker than iMovie (or for that matter, Final Cut Pro).   Photo To Movie exports to Quicktime  format, which is Apple’s video format and is compatible with both iMovie and Final Cut. So you can easily incorporate your  Photo To Movie video into one of these programs if you wish.

The following is an example I created with a folder of images (exported out of Adobe Lightroom). Photo To Movie is a cool  program!

 

Using Powerpoint to create posters

Sometime ago I posted a couple of video tutorials to my YouTube channel about creating posters using Powerpoint.  It occurs to me I should have also  posted them to my blog… so here they are.

 

Video editing and photography tutorials

Lynda.com is a great source of online training videos. Each course includes some free videos, so you can decide if you want to pay for the entire course. Lynda.com is also available by paid subscription. (No, I don’t work for them!)

If your are interested in learning Final Cut Pro, be sure to check out Larry Jordan’s great FCP tutorials on Lynda.com.

If you are a still photographer using Lightroom, take a look at the excellent Adobe Lightroom tutorials on Lynda.com by Chris Orwig.

Getting Started in Adobe Lightroom 2

Lightroom is an outstanding application available for both Windows and Macintosh computers. It is primarily intended for professional photographers, but can be successfully used by anyone who is motivated enough to learn it. In my opinion it is actually much easier to learn and use than Adobe Photoshop. (Photoshop is still necessary for many purposes, especially for images other than photographs.)

Lightroom is great for working with multiple images. Lightroom competes with Apple’s Aperture application. Aperture, however, is only available on the Macintosh.

 

Video basics: uploading videos to YouTube

I’ve added two videos describing how to upload videos to YouTube. One explains how to browse to a video file on your computer and upload it. The other demonstrates how to upload videos to YouTube from within iMovie. To view these videos, visit my Video Uploading playlist at my YouTube channel (laddrob).
