It’s the jack for DV in/out and has an icon of an I next to it. On the Sony TRV900 and TRV11, the firewire jack is on the right front side of the camera under the gray flap. Then connect the other 4 pin end to the firewire jack in your digital video camera. You connect the 6 pin end of the cable to the firewire port in the back of your computer. It also is used by Windows PC computers to do video capture, although in some cases you’ll have to purchase a firewire card to insert into an expansion slot in your PC to create a firewire port. To capture video off your digital camera you need to connect it to the computer with a cable – usually a 6 pin to 4 pin Firewire cable.įirewire is the standard for Apple computers and a firewire port is built into each one. – as more advanced video editing programs like FinalCut Pro or Premiere.īefore you start iMovie, if you want to import or capture video off your digital video camera, you first need to connect your camera to the computer, so iMovie will detect the camera and allow you to start capturing video clips.Ĭonnecting the Video Camera to the Computer Apple releases things when they are ready and not before.IMovie is a simple, easy to use video editing program that comes free with the Apple operating system (it has no Windows PC version).ĭespite its simplicity, iMovie offers many of the same features – dropping clips on a time line, cropping them, adding transitions between clips, etc. Apple hasn’t given a release date other than “coming in April” That could mean April 1st to the 30th. I will have a full tutorial on this when it launches next month. In nonlinear video editing, the original source files are not lost or modified during editing.” I don’t think they are, but I thought I saw elements on top of each other in the keynote. So instead of going in a set order, you are able to work on any segment of the project at any time, in any order you want. “The nonlinear video editing method is a way of random access editing, which means instant access to whatever clip you want, whenever you want it. Again Motion Elements says this about nonlinear editing. Unlike film, videotape cannot be physically cut into pieces to be spliced together to create a new order” FinalCut, on the other hand, is nonlinear, allowing you to put several video clips on top of each other and edit. Linear editing is most commonly used when working with videotape. Motion Elements () says it better than I can “Linear video editing is a process of selecting, arranging and modifying images and sound in a pre-determined, ordered sequence – from start to finish. It allows for just one video clip at a time. If you aren’t familiar, linear editing is the current style of iMovie. One thing I’m curious about is if they will allow nonlinear editing. I say this because I haven’t seen the new iMovie in action. These will be more customizable than the trailers. The new section will have a storyboard interface like the Trailers, and all you will have to do is select the video clip you want, and iMovie does the cutting. The downside is the trailers are limited and haven’t added new ones in the past few years. If you haven’t used the trailer feature, it’s a straightforward way to create a stunning short video. From what I gather from the Apple Keynote, it will be similar to the Trailers they currently offer. This new feature will allow you to select clips, and iMovie will create a video using the best moments of the chosen clips. It’s a new feature that lets iMovie do all the work. That significant change is called Movie Magic. If you fall into the latter category, some significant changes are coming to iMovie for the Mac, iPad, and iPhone. It gives them anxiety and stress, and they avoid it at all costs. However, my calming effect is not the case for most people. Editing also has an odd calming effect on me. I love nothing better than getting a lot of raw videos, sorting through them, and making something unique! Video editing is like solving a puzzle to me.
