iMovie Window
A iMovie monitor: Watch your clips play in this window. You can play clips that are in the Clips pane or the
clip viewer.
B Scrubber bar: Drag the playhead along the scrubber bar to move through a clip frame by frame. The number
near the playhead indicates how far (minutes:seconds:frames) the selected frame is into the movie.
C Mode switch: Click to switch between camera mode and edit mode. Use camera mode to choose an input
device and transfer your raw video into the computer. Use edit mode to work on your movie.
D Playback controls: Use these controls to skip to the beginning of a selected clip, play the clip in the iMovie
monitor, or play the clip full screen on your computer’s monitor.
E Volume slider: Slide this control to change the volume of the computer’s speaker while you work in iMovie.
This won’t change the volume levels in your video or audio clips.
F Pane buttons: Click these buttons to see the different panes of the iMovie window. See a description of each
pane later in this document.
G Trash: Drag unwanted clips to the Trash icon to delete them. You can restore cropped video and audio from
the iMovie Trash if you haven’t emptied it.
H Disk space indicator: Monitor your free disk space as you work. You should always have about 2 GB free disk
space for optimal performance of iMovie. When this bar turns yellow, you are starting to run low on disk
space. When it turns red, you must free up some space to continue working on your movie.
