I hate tutorials. I think they are dull and it takes a lot of time to read them. I went through this one, though. And what I said proved to be true...
The thing is I've used iMovie a couple times before. As a filmmaker wanna-be, I started out with Final Cut Pro when I was 16, so using iMovie wasn't that big of a deal.
The news things I "learned" from the tutorials was the difference between cropping and cutting. Also, I sort of forgot that iMovie had some cool video FX, I'll check those out.
And yeah, I had no idea what Magic iMovie meant, so I know that now, too.
Garageband Tutorial
As a Journalism professor, I guess you don't really know the musical sides of your students. Well, let me tell you, I'm a musical talent and my first CD came out this summer. No, seriously. I already sold one copy to my sister. Actually, it was rather a gift... Anyways, the title of my CD is "The Debuting Album of a Born Genius." And I created it with Garage Band. It was rather fun. So that’s how I got to get familiar with this amazing program.
However, I don’t think it’s the very tool I’d use to record audio for slide shows or videos. To me, it seems more of a music maker tool. As a Journalist, all I have to use is the record button and then edit it.
I like the podcast function, though. The only thing is: I’d be careful with using prerecorded sound effects. I just wrote a research paper on Welles’ “War of the Worlds,” and trust me people believe what they hear…
So, the “Enhanced Podcast” function is basically identical to making an audio slideshow. Interesting…
