iMovie and Slow Shutter Demos
Mike will demonstrate making a video using iMovie on iPad and Cynthia will demonstrate using the Slo Shutter app for Intentional Camera Movement, ICM.
iMovie project - play final project. Movie has audio, text and transitions. Photos are stylized and text appears to show filter details. Orientation is landscape and set to 16:9 aspect ratio.
iMovie > Start New Project > Movie (for full control). Media sidebar appears and then browse Photos > Albums. iMovie does not recognize Shared Albums. So must download to local Photos Library if including posted images. Soundtrack options are copyright free and video could be posted to YouTube (and it won't be taken down).
Practice using the interface. Choose 5-8 photos to add to timeline. Touch every button. Media > Background > Black > inserts a clip with color. Title > Line/Title ... then on screen tap placeholder text to type your own title. Emojis included! Look for buttons to edit text: Aa - Color Wheel - ( ... ). Clip edges can be stretched to lengenth or shorten the playback time.
Still images automatically include the Ken Burns effect. Tap a still photo > tap Actions to see menu over the photo > tap Ken Burns Effect Enabled > now this is toggled off.
Transitions between clips. Tap icon to make different transition choices.
Add video clips to project if appropriate.
Tap Done to return to project screen. Tap default title to rename project. Tap Play button to preview video.
Edit project and on Media sidebar > Audio > Soundtracks > tap a title to play music > tap ( + ) to drop soundtrack to project - with green waveform. Sound and narration volume can be be raised or lowered.
Rearrange photos by touching photo and hold/drag to new location in timeline.
Add narration from device microphone. Write script and display on a computer/other device and then use the iPad > iMovie to record in short chunks.
Workflow tips: collect photos and video clips in a new Photos album.
Export to USB thumb drive for portability, .mp4 or .mov are file types to use.
