4. Camcorder Meets MacPhase 1 is over. You've captured the raw footage on your camcorder, you've now assembled the ingredients you need, and you're ready to enter the kitchen. Now it's time for Phase 2, the heart of this book: editing your footage on the Mac using iMovie. This chapter introduces you to both iMovie and FireWire, the high-speed cable system that transfers footage from the camcorder to the Mac, gives you a tour of the iMovie window, and walks you through your first transfer. |
