Adding photos to your iMovie project
1. In iMovie, click the Media button to open the iLife Media Browser. Choose Photos to see your iPhoto Library and click Show Photo Settings to see
the Photo Settings window. The Photo Settings window allows you to set the Ken Burns Effect. For now, disable the Ken Burns effect using the checkbox
in the Photo Settings window.
2. Use the arrows to scroll through all the pictures in your library.
3. Drag a photo from your iPhoto Library to the clip viewer. Notice the photo will be imported into your iMovie project and placed on the timeline.
Look at the top of the new clip in the timeline to see the duration associated with your photo.
4. Double-click on the photo in the timeline to see information about it. Give your photo a new name and change the duration to 4 seconds.
Click Set to see the changes take effect in the timeline.
5. Select another photo in your iPhoto Library. From the Photo Settings window, turn the Ken Burns effect on to apply motion to the next photo you’ll import.
To make setting the motion easier, click the icon with two arrows to deselect the loop option in the Preview window.
6. In the Photo Settings window, click in the Start area. Move the Zoom slider to the left until it reads 1.00. Next, click the End area and set the Zoom
slider to the middle. Use the bottom slider to adjust the time associated with your image. Click the loop arrows to see a preview of the motion that will be
applied to your photo.
7. Click Apply to have your photo imported to the timeline with the Ken Burns effect applied.
8. Select your photo in the timeline and change the duration and direction using the Photo Settings window. Click Apply to update your photo.
9. Click the Rewind button, then press the Space bar to see the new photos play in your movie.
Adding narration to your iMovie project
1. Make sure your Mac has a built-in microphone, an iSight camera, or an external microphone connected.
2. In iMovie, click the timeline viewer button to display the audio tracks.
3. Move the timeline playhead to where you want your narration, or voiceover, to begin.
4. In the Audio pane, click the Record button and then speak clearly into the microphone. As you speak, try to speak loudly enough so that the input
meters appear green or yellow, but not so loudly that the meters appear red.
5. Click the Record button again to stop recording. You’ll see your audio was added to the timeline as you were recording.
6. Move the timeline playhead to the beginning of your recording and click Play to review your narration.
7. To isolate your narration, use the audio checkboxes at the far right to deselect the audio from the other tracks. After reviewing your isolated audio,
enable audio for all three tracks.
8. Save your project as a .mov file and upload to your Real Estate In Motion account!
