TWT 2012 - Session 5: iMovie - Giving your Video a Face Lift
Don Militello dmilitello@berkeleycarroll.org† Lower School Music Instructor Berkeley Carroll School Grades PK-12 Subject areas: All Level of experience recommended: Basic to Advanced † // This workshop will teach you how to import your video into user-friendly iMovie so you can edit out those moments that you would rather not have people see. You’ll learn how to create title pages and smooth transitions between clips, add still images, do voice-overs from your laptop, and share your finished product online or on DVD. From adding a clip of a Kindergarten field trip to creating a DVD to sell at a fundraiser, this workshop will help teachers and administrators in all subject areas create quality video that will impress. // // † // // Because of the limited bandwidth available at the workshop, participants will not be able to upload material online at the workshop. After learning the basics of editing through iMovie, however, participants will learn how to upload movies to Youtube, and/ or create DVDs at a later date, if desired. // // † // **Instructions for attendees:** 1) Bring an Apple Intel based laptop with **iMovie** loaded (version 8.0 or higher, is preferred.) ** Regardless of the version of the program you have, (8.0, 9,0. or iLife 11) make sure you update within the version. ** Just open the program, go to the iMovie menu at the top of the screen, and select 'check for updates.' You will need to have raw video footage with which to edit your project. //You have two choices://

1) //** Bring Your Own Clips - **// Have video footage pre-downloaded to your computer in either .mp4 or .mov format. **Teachers** - Bring clips of your classes in action, field trips, special events, or anything that you might want to edit. **Administrators -** Bring clips from admissions, performances, video collages, awards ceremonies, etc. You can also bring still images (pictures) in .jpg format which can be added to the project. We suggest that your clips not be too lengthy, but you can easily edit out the material you don't want at the workshop.You will be creating a short 2-3 minute video in your chosen area that will showcase your program in a polished fashion.

2) **//Work with The Provided DVDs// -** When you arrive at the workshop you will be able to choose one of several DVDs containing royalty-free generic footage in different areas of interest. You will load the DVD and import the clips you need for your iMovie project directly from disk. The areas of interest include, but are not limited to: dance, phys. ed., music, students across the world, nature, science and New York City. You'll be creating a two to three minute video with the clips in your chosen area. There will also be several still pictures available on the DVDs to add to your project. The editing skills learned form creating the generic projects can be used at a later date with your own material from your institution.
