USING A CAMERATO IMPORT• Connect camera to computer• Turn camera on & set to “PC Connect
mode”• Select video clips to import:• For all clips: “Automatic” & Click “Import
All”• For specific clips: “Manual”, Deselect the
clips you don’t want to import & Click “Import Checked”
IMPORT VIDEO
• Import Video: Event Library• Event Library—iMovie generates
Events in the same way as iPhoto does—this is the footage you use to create movie projects
• Allows you to group video into useful named categories
PROJECTS VS. EVENTS
EVENT is how Apple organizes clips, typically by date.
Clips shot on the same day appear under the same event and titled with the date they were imported—New Event 10–10–15, for example.
Events are listed in iMovie’s Event Library pane. When selected, event, contents appear in the Event Browser, which you can find to the right of the Event Library. (I’ll cover the topography of the iMovie interface shortly.)
A project is the movie that you’ll assemble from your clips. So, using a baking analogy, events and their clips are the movie’s flour, salt, water, brown sugar, eggs, vanilla, almond extract, and chocolate chips. A project is the resulting big cookie
