Chapter 13. Camcorder Meets Mac

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 the heart of the matter: 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.
