To make it easier to complete this tutorial, print this document before you start.

The first term after

To complete all the parts of this tutorial, you need the following:
Â
A movie from iMovie that you have shared (in iMovie, choose Share > Media

You can use any format from iMovie, including HDV, MPEG-4, iSight, and even 16:9
widescreen movies.
Â

Your final results will be different, but you’ll still have a project that you can burn to a
disc. Experiment a little and have fun.
