Sharing Your Finished Movie

Tip: If you want to share just part of your movie, you can select the clip or clips you
want to share and select the “Share selected clips only” checkbox.

Sending Your Movie By Email

You can send your movie as an attachment in an email message. When you click Email
in the Share dialog, you can select your email program and specify the movie name,
and your movie is automatically attached to a blank email. All you have to do is type an
address and a message and click Send.

Preparing Your Movie for a .Mac HomePage

You can transfer your movie .Mac HomePage to publish it on the Internet. Just click
HomePage in the Share dialog and type a name for your movie. When you click Share,
your movie is automatically sent to your HomePage so you can post it on the Internet.

Exporting to Your Video Camera

You can save your finished movie on DV tape in your video camera in raw digital video
format. This preserves the full quality of the original video, just as you shot it. Once the
movie is exported back to a tape in your video camera, you can view it in your camera
or watch it on TV by connecting your video camera directly to your television.

To export your movie back to tape:

1

Connect your camera to your computer using a FireWire cable.

For more information, see Chapter 4, “Bringing Video Into iMovie HD.”

2

Make sure you have a blank tape in your camera (or a tape that you don’t mind taping
over) and set your camera to VTR mode.

3

Choose File > Share.

4

Click Videocamera in the toolbar, then specify if you want to add black footage on the
tape before and after your movie.

5

Click Share.

When the movie is finished exporting, you can use the tape as you would any other
digital videotape.

Note: If you have trouble exporting back to your camera, check to see if your tape is
write-protected. Or you may have a PAL device that has FireWire input disabled.
Contact the device manufacturer for more information.
