[TheJBSJProductions]

Is there anyway to speed up clips on iMovie '08?

[TechUnboxed]

no there isn't, iMovie has a very little amount of effects to do in your videos. You can get more effects on Final Cut or Final Cut Express, which are video editing softwares for macs, but they are also pretty expensive though. Final Cut is around $1,000. Final Cut Express is around $200

[thisistoocool4721]

yes there is a way

[Mauphynne]

to speed up or slow down? how?

[TechUnboxed]

@Mauphynne only on imovie 09

[MissGringee]

@TechUnboxed how do you know if you have imovie 08 or 09?

[JewishPeacock]

@MissGringee go on ur imovie and click on preferences

[mrcrazy184]

how? can u play it backwards to?

[jeanniethegrinch]

@TheJBSJProductions The 08 release was pretty basic with not many effects. The 09 version is much better. You can speed up or slow clips, do green screen and crop effects. It is still a bit strange to use but I must admit I am starting to warm to it. However, it seems to be aimed at short videos to go on youtube etc. For proper editing you need to use something such as Final Cut.

[bztntroker]

how long have you had imovie 08

[XxWhoaaaitztommmmxX]

yeaa i need to know how to use this untill i get Final cut pro

[AquariusProductions1]

[lookoutskate]

is there anyway to do slow motion on imovie 08?

[TechUnboxed]

sorry I don't think so

[flimflamman53]

thanks for making it simple and easy to understand

[IrishCoRn]

nice, but ugly iPods xD

[Aldryami]

Generally very helpful. Thanks kid!

[Satisarah]

Really great!=D

I have a problem. I can't make my music last for more that 1 minute. How do I extend it? I've tried the dragging, but it doesn't help.

[TechUnboxed]

i don't really use music in most of my videos because i dont have my songs on my mac. I know this sounds really crappy, but if you have the songs on your ipod, you can put the headphone next to the mic on the top of the computer and do a voiceover with your volume way up on your ipod, the end result really isn't that bad

[Satisarah]

That's OK. I figured it out=D Thanks anyway=)

[Drumtribe]

I'm new to the whole MAC experience, so, I may seem a bit dumb about all this, so please bear with me.  How do I transfer my videos to my external hard drive so that I can mess around with them at a later date??

[TechUnboxed]

sorry, but I have never tried to use an external hard drive, so I don't really know

[iRuuben]

Great video but how do i add music and at the same time cut the original sound ? Please help dude 5*

[TechUnboxed]

i myself, haven't loading music into a video through the computer, because i have all my songs on my windows computers, but you can record it as a voiceover and it comes out just as good. Click on the icon that looks like a microphone and if you have headphones, place them next to the microphone on top of the computer and play the song as you record.

I hope that helped :)

[TechUnboxed]

im glad you learned more about imovie 08. as far as the effects go imovie really doesn't have anything, but there is an apple movie software called final cut or something like that, unfortunately its around $500

[erainbowrosscullen]

Hey, is there a way to put them on youtube backwards?

[TechUnboxed]

no i dont think so

[hopeman85]

boi breathes like a big boi.

[TechUnboxed]

ummm... im not too sure what that i means or how to respond to it

[OhSoJoNaS]

Hey i was wondering, how you delete projects?.. please reply to my page if you can =)

[TSshowsx]

[TechUnboxed]

[StarvingForPizza]

is there someway to speed up or slow down clips?

[TechUnboxed]

unfortunately no

imovie 08 is kinda suckish when it comes to features

[AGentertainment]

It sucks. Stick with '07.

This one is WAY TOO CONSUMER FRIENDLY.

[roofomatoc]

yea my brother has a mac desktop and he told me. it is an extra 200 dollars.. but can play around with voice candy!

[roofomatoc]

how do you change your voice?

[TechUnboxed]

good question... i don't think you can

i think you have to by final cut 5 or whatever it's called

[PrettyyInPinkx12]

aww why nott u deff should im like clueless on my macc :]

[TechUnboxed]

ok i might, just tell me what you don't know how to use and i'll try to make a tutorial for it.

[PrettyyInPinkx12]

thankss that helpped :]]]] your videos are good to use :]

[TechUnboxed]

thanks but im not too sure if im going to be making more or not

[kevinxun286]

why do not you use a screen capture software instead of the camera?

[TechUnboxed]

the only software i know how to record a screen w/ is hypercam, which i couldn't download on the mac

[PrettyyInPinkx12]

how do u make montages with like the text at the bottom???

cause i just got my mac and i have no ideaaa

[TechUnboxed]

when you have imovie open you'll see 4 buttons below the video preview screen, click on the one with the 'T' on it and choose your kind of text and appearance you want, then drag it on or outside of the video clip you want it on and edit the text in the video preview screen

Sorry it took me a while to respond

[southboy58]

please how do u share your video i have an imac i dont know how to share the vieo

[TechUnboxed]

do you mean like putting it on youtube? or emailing it?

if it's either of those i can tell you how

Heres how:

When you're using iMovie '08 there will be tabs at the top of your screen that say things like 'file, edit and share' click on share and click on the source you want to share it to (like youtube, facebook, etc.)

I hope this helped!

[melisssaa19]

while recording a video can u pause and then unpause while recording?

[TechUnboxed]

unfortunately no

well actually you can stop recording and then clic on capture again but you have to fill in the info (the event's name) again
