3 Tips for iMovie 10 | Tutorial 28 Video Lecture | iMovie Mac: Basics to Advanced - Professional Skills

hello ease and gents row here and
welcome to new neural films I'm gonna be
continuing our iMovie tutorials and in
this tutorial particular we're actually
gonna be covering the top three things
that you guys should know about iMovie
or when you're editing what you should
know about iMovie so let's begin I'm not
open up iMovie here and just let you
guys know I'll be sure to check out my
previous tutorials that's gonna be it's
gonna help you guys a lot and I've
covered a lot in previous tutorials if
have any questions at all leave comment
below I'll get back to you as soon as
possible
and also I'm planning on doing a maybe
live stream I might do a live stream
regarding iMovie and like maybe some of
you will join me live and ask me
questions live and we'll see how it goes
from there like and I'll probably do
some editing and answer any questions
you guys might have regarding iMovie
just to finish our iMovie tutorials and
and then also for now I think that's
about it and let me think about if I
have anything else to add as we go
through this video but so big as you
began when you first open up your new
version of iMovie you people you'll
basically get something like this I'll
open up into your all events your all
your vents here and you'll probably more
look like something like this here and
if you haven't already and you want to
transfer all your stuff from the
previous version of iMovie to this
version you just go simply to file
update projects and events or transfer
everything for you do not interrupt the
process though while it's transferring
because that is something that I fail
that I actually shut off my iMovie or
computer when I was updating and more
than half of my movies were lost so that
was very disappointing so yeah I don't
suggest best thing or interrupting this
process so as soon as you begin and you
want to revert this back to you like you
don't see content library which you
would be here where your adjustments
your items are grayed out and items like
you can't use them at the moment because
you don't really have a project open yet
so what you want to do is you're gonna
want to simply basically what I'm gonna
show you guys is to change it back to
the layout where you see everything and
you have all your options open for you
like so to begin I'm actually gonna
select a like a event here these are
gonna be your libraries my selected
project your my projects open as you can
see
this is your now your your main project
your movie that you're making is gonna
be down here below unlike the new old
version of my movie you had it up here
or you could actually swap it around uh
that's what we're gonna do here we're
actually gonna swap this around go go
window I'm gonna go to swap project and
event so what I did is this is actually
like I'm the final if you're going into
Final Cut Pro and you're gonna start
using that to edit I suggest you and
you're just gonna use iMovie from now I
suggest you keep this down here because
Final Cut Pro uses the main project down
below or like I like on Final Cut Pro
you could also switch them around as
well but honestly in Final Cut Pro it's
easier to have it the main the main
movie project below so what you want to
do to swap it around to the old version
of iMovie is basically go to swap
project and event window swap project
and event and it will change it back to
the old version now now you'll have all
your imported clips as soon as you
import them into your personal whatever
event you would like it in and you
basically import it and it will pop up
down here below and your events showing
you everything right now we only have an
image so that's all for now but yeah now
you can see that something I have a
project that's been selected we have the
project up we have the libraries here we
have the content library here which are
very self-explanatory and if you don't
know what they are be sure to check out
previous tutorials and then you also
have your enhance option and we did
cover all these as well and the
tutorials my previous tutorials and you
have adjustments where you will do your
most of your basic editing audio
stabilization and that sword
picture-in-picture and there's just a
lot of options and also if you want to
edit a certain clip you basically do can
double click it do a trim which we
didn't cover a lot but it's very it's
very self-explanatory it's very easy to
use but and I don't also use trim a lot
I just use the command keys and then
here you got it you can also right-click
the clip and get additional options or
double click the clip and it will give
you additional options regarding um like
editing detach an audio freeze frame and
a refill and finder but for now the next
next step but we covered
is the like if you don't know this yet
it is recommended you get a hold of
command keys cookies I'm basically using
your keyboard to the advantage and
that's like for example spacebar is very
common one you hit the spacebar your
clip plays basically in here that again
hit the spacebar again to stop the clip
instead of going like you want this part
to play and you don't have to go all the
way over here and here to play and then
see what it is it's easy a lot easier to
spacebar and it definitely saves you a
lot of time then another one common one
is let's say you want you found like
right here do something you don't want
something right here that you may have
where you said something and you want to
cut it out you can always hit like let's
say you want it this is where it begins
you can hit command B you hold command B
and it will cut right there and then
let's say you don't want this whole part
right there you turn turn you need then
you hit command B right here as well and
I'm gonna select that and hit delete on
my keyboard and you'll see my whole
turning is gone besides I'm turning back
and you know so you can hit command Z to
undo all of those actions that you just
did so remembers the spacebar to play
and stop a video the command B to split
a clip at any point or split it in
anywhere and also command Z to undo
whatever you change you may have done
that you never want meant to do or
wanted to do those will those command
keys I've probably the most common ones
I use and they're definitely gonna save
you a lot of time then also another
thing is a memory management when you're
editing let's say you're importing a lot
of clips into your iMovie and you just
you have a lot of Clips honestly like
after you hit delete on it hit delete
here and you've removed it from your
main event since I don't really have
anything here but it's gonna be kind of
hard looks well I'll do my best um let's
say you delete it from your event and
you're just trying to get rid of it like
completely to get rid of it cuz you're
already done you export it you put on
YouTube you put it on iTunes or wherever
you may save your movies and as soon as
you're done completely done with the
clip you like you don't want it anymore
because you already saved it somewhere
else you hit delete on it you need it
you thought you deleted
here but honestly no you haven't
officially deleted what you want to do
is you wanna go over to right hand side
here and you're gonna go to reject it
because when you hit delete on your main
events when you're you're at hide
rejected command currently that's where
you're all your main clips are that will
be as soon as you imported them they'll
be under hide rejected which is like
basically normal clips and they won't be
under favorites because you have a
favorited in Eclipse but they'll be
under hide rejected and you'll actually
be able to see the clips here and as
soon as you hit delete here and delete
off of your project you can go to hot
injected and now I'll only show you the
clips that have been rejected meaning
after you delete them they basically get
put in this file named as rejected
they'll all be in here and then you can
hit command a basically to select them
all and hit delete again and then it's
gonna move them straight into your
recycle bin or trash and from there
you'll be able to completely remove it
from your computer but other than that
when you hit delete off of your events
and delete off of your project it gets
moved to your rejected file and then you
have to delete it from there once again
in order to officially get rid of it and
put it into your trash but other than
that I think I've covered quite a bit
I'm hoping this tutorial helped to clear
things some things that you guys learned
something new and like I said be sure
leave a comment below we are basically
coming towards the end of our tutorial
for iMovie and I am I'm taking
suggestions or what you guys would like
to see more tutorials on or of the
tutorial I may have missed on iMovie or
if there's a new program that you would
like me to do a tutorial on or start
doing tutorials on like right now I have
a motion up in the air like the motion 5
or Final Cut Pro and a few other
programs but right now I'm kind of
leaning towards Final Cut Pro tutorials
or motion 5 tutorials so other than that

below and I will be sure to get back to
you and any suggestions or comments or
