Video Creation using iMovie 9 (Mac)
These directions are for iMovie 9 (icon is a brown star - see below). If you have upgraded to iMovie 10 (icon is a purple star), you will still have iMovie 9, as you can see from the screenshot below of my applications folder. I recommend using iMovie 9 and following the steps below. If you don't have iMovie 9 on your Mac, you can download it by going tohttps://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7RHT-gW09zIYnBfcElYaXp0ZEU/edit?usp=sharing Once you launch iMovie 9, go to the menu at the top and choose "File" and then "New Project". Type in a name for this project. I recommend staying with "No Theme" for your Project Theme so that you have more flexibility with your project. You don't want to select any of the Movie Trailer themes, as you will not be able to add your narration, etc. When you are gathering pictures to include in your video, click on the image and then click on the View Image button so that you will have the best quality picture. Then, hold down the control button and click on the picture. Choose "Save Image As". Give the picture a filename you'll remember and save it to your desktop. Drag the pictures from your desktop into the project window. To add a title to your video, click on the T from the right of the screen, choose the title slide that you want and drag it up to the project window in front of your first picture. You can then choose the background design that you would like for this title slide. Click on the right side of the screen where it says "Type Text Here" and type the title of your video. Click Done. You could also have a picture as your title slide and drag the title slide that you chose right onto a picture in the project window instead of dragging the title slide in front of the first picture. You will notice that your pictures are already set up with the Ken Burns effect so they are slowly panning and zooming while being displayed. You might see that a picture is cut off and want to change the Ken Burns effect. You can do this by double-clicking on the crop button (see arrow above) at the top left of the picture. On the right side of the screen, you can now change the Ken Burns effect. You can move the green window to the part of the image that you want to show first and the red window to the part of the image that you want to show last. If you do not want to use the Ken Burns effect, you can click on Fit from the top left and the whole image will display with no zooming. If you find videos that you want to add, you can also save these to your desktop. You won't be able to drag them into the project area of iMovie. Instead, in iMovie, you will go up to the File menu and Choose "Import" and "Movies" and select the video clip from your desktop. Click on the footage that you just imported into your Event Library. You will see a yellow box. Pull on the edges of this yellow box until all the footage that you want in your project is included. Click in the middle of the yellow box and drag this footage up into the correct location in the project window. Next you will want to add narration to your video. Double-click on the picture and change the duration so it will be long enough for your voiceover. Click Done and then click on the microphone button (see arrow above). You will know your microphone is working because you'll see green bars. I would recommend sliding your Input Volume up to between 75%-90% so your audio will be loud enough in the video. Click on the picture that you want to voiceover. You will see a countdown, record your voice and hit the space bar when you're done. Make sure that you speak slowly and in a loud voice fairly close to the microphone. You can then double-click on the picture and alter the length so it fits with the audio. The voiceover will show up as a purple bar under the picture. If it does not sound polished, click on it to highlight it, hit the delete key on your keyboard and record again. Lastly, double-click on the picture and alter the length so it fits with the length of the audio. Lastly, you can add transitions between the pictures and videos to make it look more professional. First click on the Transitions button next to the Title button on the right side of the screen. Next, choose your transition and drag it between the pictures. Try not to choose transitions that will be a distraction. Cross Dissolve is a good example of a transition that is not too drastic. Once you have previewed your video and you are happy with it, go to Share from the menu at the top and choose "Export Movie". Make sure your filename has your name in it. For size to Export choose "Large" and you can export it to your desktop. The file will end with .m4v. Lastly, you need to share your video with your teacher. Go to your Google Drive and click on the upload button next to Create. Choose Files and upload this .m4v file to your Google Drive. Share this with your teacher or move this into the Shared Google Drive folder if your teacher has created one.

In order to add a voiceover, click in the timeline so the green vertical line is where you'd like the record and click on the red microphone button at the bottom left of the screen. You may see a window asking for permission to use your camera and microphone. You may also see this alert at the very top of the screen and you need to click Allow one more time. You can record up to four minutes. After you click "Stop Recording". You can either save or record again if you think you can make your recording more polished. Make sure you are speaking slowly, loudly and are close to the microphone. To match the picture with the audio, click at the end of the picture and drag it so it is the correct length for the recording. Lastly, you can add transitions between the pictures and videos to make it look more professional. First click on the Transitions button (see red arrow above). Next, choose your transition and drag it between the pictures. Try not to choose transitions that will be a distraction. Cross Fade is a good example of a transition that is not too drastic.

The video that you created should be at the top of your Google Drive or you can search for it.Share this file with your teacher or move this into the Shared Google Drive folder if your teacher has created one.
