Here's my movie!!!

I did this small of demo of my Tai Chi school called "Yin Yang Tao".  I used photos from our trip to China in 2006 and a couple of more photos from our Facebook page.  I'll be working more on iMovie, especially adding effects created on After Effects and Photoshop (I'll take the tutorials), and enhance the videos and presentation of my AR project.  Ooops!!!, I almost forgot my Lynda.com iMovie '11 certificate.

Ok, back to the video.  Although I did a simple slide show,  I worked more with the audio tracks using "add beat mark" command (you'll notice at :27 sec.).  This will be in our Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/yinyangtao and our Blog, http://yinyangtao.blogspot.com/ 

Here's the video.  Hope you enjoy it

Hello everybody!!!
As a video editor, I look at applications like iMovie or Windows Movie Makers as a simple video editors with cheap effects that don't resemble what professional programs like Avid, Premiere or Final Cut can do. They are only useful for homemade movies and that's it.  Boy, I was wrong with iMovie.  This application has a good back of tricks that can give the user a good run for his/her money.

Lynda. com developed a 3 hour tutorial that is broken into chapters.  People who have not any experience with non-linear editing applications can look at the tutorial from beginning to end.  Those people who have little or more experience with this type of applications can go to the chapter of interest.

Oh!!!, by the way, here's my daily video hint for this blog.

Non-linear video systems = you can edit footage in any order.  You can start with the end of the movie and finish with the beginning or start at the middle, go to the beginning and then to the end.  This is characteristic of Digital Video Editing.

Linear video systems = you edit the video in a chronological order.  From Beginning to End.  This is characteristic of analog video editing, like VHS, SVHS, Beta, 3/4" video.

For my next blog, I will guide you to the tricks that I've used in iMovie.
