Chapter 3 Creating Your First Movie 25
A Quick Tour of Video Editing With iMovie HD
When you play your video using the playback controls, the video appears in the iMovie
monitor.
The individual scenes or “clips” of a movie appear in the clip viewer. You can select and
drag the clips into any order you want for your movie. As the movie plays, you see the
playhead pass over the clips as frames are displayed.
When you import video yourself using a FireWire connection, iMovie HD first stores the
clips in the Clips pane. You compose your movie by dragging clips from the Clips pane
into the clip viewer, arranging them as you want.
You can also select an individual clip in the Clips pane or in the clip viewer and view it
with the playback controls. When a clip is selected you can edit it, cropping or
trimming footage you don’t need or deleting entire clips.
