Get Photos, Movies, and Music Onto Your Mac


Task #54

Difficulty Level 2

You can quickly and easily transfer multimedia from your favorite device. Panther can transfer and manipulate your favorite image, video, and audio media from digital and video cameras, audio CDs, an iPod, and just about anywhere else you can find it.

You can transfer photographs from digital cameras directly into iPhoto. This gives you the opportunity to tweak the look of the photos, catalog and print them, or even send them to friends. You can also import images into iMovie for use in your own movies.

You can also import your favorite video content into iMovie. After import, you can manipulate the video in a variety ways by adding titles, mixing in background music, and even adding sophisticated professional-quality video effects.

Panther also includes a complete set of tools for importing and working with audio. You can import your favorite songs from CD and the Internet using iTunes, iMovie, and iDVD. After import, you can catalog and listen to the song in iTunes or mix it in as background music for your movies in iMovie and iDVD.

Customize It!

You can listen to music in iTunes as you import it. Use the Preferences window to activate — or deactivate, if you prefer — the Play Songs While Importing setting. You can also set the default import format in the Preferences window under Importing.

Caution

If you choose to erase the images from your digital camera when the import process in iPhoto is complete, be forewarned that you cannot reverse this procedure. After you erase the images from the camera, there is no way to regain them. Use this feature with care!
