So THAT'S how you do that! That line pretty much sums up my experiences watching the Editing section of the iMovie tutorial. Everything from titles to transitions to incorporating still photos into a video . . . I can't wait to experiment. Even moreso, my mind is fast forwarding to all the great editing I will be able to do on past presentations and the ease of creating future video "productions."
I always felt that my use of transitions were a little bit on the "cheesy" side, kind of like when Power Point first came out and every presentation had spinning letters and twirling entrances and flashing exits . . . after awhile you just wanted to scream STOP! And after a few attempts at using transitions, I was beginning to feel the same way about iMovie (well, my use of that tool). Now however, I know that by sticking with the cross dissolve, or the fade to black/white, my transitions will definitely have more of a professional quality to them.
For the final OMG moment of this blog: MOVIE TRAILERS! Up to this point, I haven't taken time to learn how to make use of this feature, but have secretly been DYING to! Now I know how! Woo-Hoo! I can't wait to really learn how to create these - I know my students will FLIP out! (Seriously, can you sense my excitement here?) Oh my heavens - I am ready to GO!
