IntroductionWelcome| 00:00 | iLife is Apple's suite of
applications that gives you incredibly easy and
| | 00:03 | intuitive ways to organize, edit, and
share your digital photos, movies, and music.
| | 00:09 | (Music plays.)
| | 00:12 | Hi, I'm Garrick Chow and welcome to
iLife '09 New Features. We'll start with
| | 00:16 | a look at iPhoto '09, where you will
learn about iPhoto's amazing new face
| | 00:20 | detection and recognition function,
allowing you to sort and browse your photos
| | 00:23 | based on who is in them.
| | 00:24 | We will also take a look at Places,
which lets you search through your photos
| | 00:28 | based on their geo-data. I'll also show
you iPhoto's new editing tools, travel maps,
| | 00:33 | and social networking capabilities.
| | 00:35 | In iMovie '09, I'll show you how to
use the new Precision Editor to fine-tune
| | 00:39 | the shots in your videos and you will
also learn about the new real-time video effects.
| | 00:42 | How to speed up, slow down, and
reverse footage. How to create picture
| | 00:46 | in picture shots, green screen
effects, and how to turn shaky shots into
| | 00:50 | smooth, steady footage.
| | 00:51 | GarageBand '09 also has its share of
new features, including the newly redesigned
| | 00:56 | guitar amps and stompbox effects.
Magic GarageBand has also been refreshed,
| | 01:00 | making it easier than ever to quickly
assemble a song with your own virtual backing band.
| | 01:04 | But the biggest feature of GarageBand
had to be the new built-in music lessons,
| | 01:08 | which can teach you to become a
better keyboard or guitar player.
| | 01:11 | Lastly, we'll look at iWeb, iLife's web
page creation application that lets you
| | 01:15 | upload and share photos, videos, and
music you have created. I'll show you how
| | 01:19 | you can upload your web pages to almost
any web hosting service with iWeb '09's
| | 01:23 | new ability to integrate FTP publishing.
| | 01:25 | Plus, you will find new iWeb widgets
that add interactive content to your
| | 01:30 | website simply by dragging and
dropping them onto your pages.
| | 01:33 | With all the new features packed into
iLife '09, it's easier than ever to do
| | 01:36 | more with your photos, video,
and music. Let's get started.

| Using the exercise files| 00:00 | If you are a premium member of the
lynda.com Online Training Library or if
| | 00:04 | you are watching this tutorial on a DVD-ROM,
you have access to the exercise files
| | 00:08 | used throughout this title. The
organization of the exercise files for
| | 00:11 | this title is pretty basic.
| | 00:13 | As you can see we only have two
folders, iMovie exercise files and iPhoto
| | 00:18 | exercise files. There are no exercise
files for GarageBand or iWeb included
| | 00:22 | with this tutorial. You will find
that the features I show you in those
| | 00:25 | applications can be easily applied
to or sampled in your own projects.
| | 00:29 | But for iMovie and iPhoto there are
some exercise files that have been designed
| | 00:33 | to showcase specific new features.
So if you want to use the same files
| | 00:36 | I'm using in those videos, feel free to add
those files to your iPhoto and iMovie libraries.
| | 00:43 | For iPhoto files I suggest you open
iPhoto and choose File > Import to Library,
| | 00:49 | navigate to the exercise files folder
and then select iPhoto exercise files and
| | 00:54 | that will include all the other
folders within the iPhoto exercise files folder.
| | 00:57 | So select iPhoto exercise files,
click Import, and importing your files
| | 01:03 | this way will keep all the files
organized into Events, like the events
| | 01:07 | I'll have on my screen
when I'm showing you iPhoto.
| | 01:09 | This will also make it easier for you
to delete these events when you are done
| | 01:14 | working along with me because most
likely you don't want my photos in your
| | 01:17 | iPhoto library. Let's switch over to iMovie.
| | 01:18 | So when it comes to the iMovie files
I suggest creating events for each folder
| | 01:25 | of video clips. In iMovie choose
File > Import > Movies. Navigate to the
| | 01:32 | exercise files folder, open up iMovie
exercise files and select one of the
| | 01:38 | folders in here and choose Create New
Event. And I suggest giving the event the
| | 01:41 | same name as the folder. You can choose
rather to make copies of those files or
| | 01:46 | to simply move them into your iMovie
library. Once you've made your decisions
| | 01:50 | click Import. Confirm that you want
to import those videos and in a few moments
| | 01:58 | you will see that event show up
in your iMovie Event Library.
| | 02:01 | And then just repeat that process for each
one of the remaining folders. Select a folder,
| | 02:07 | create a new Event,
give it a name, and click Import.
| | 02:18 | Now if you are a monthly or annual
subscriber to lynda.com, you don't have
| | 02:21 | access to the exercise files but you
can still easily follow along with me just
| | 02:25 | by watching or feel free to use your
own media files. None of what I'm going to
| | 02:28 | be showing you in these videos
requires you to be using the exact same files
| | 02:32 | that I am, to understand how to take
advantage of the new features in iLife '09.
| | 02:35 | All right, so that's it. Let's get started.

1. iPhotoUsing Faces| 00:00 | If your iPhoto library contains a lot
of photos, you've probably at one time or
| | 00:04 | another ran into the problem of not
being able to find a particular picture of
| | 00:07 | a specific person among the
hundreds or even thousands of your photos.
| | 00:11 | Fortunately iPhoto '09 features face
detection technology, which gives iPhoto
| | 00:15 | the ability to identify the parts of
your pictures that contains people's faces.
| | 00:18 | All you have to do is go through and
put names to the faces that iPhoto recognizes.
| | 00:23 | iPhoto then goes through your library
and using face recognition technology
| | 00:28 | applies that name to each instance
of that person's face that it can find.
| | 00:31 | This combination of face
detection and face recognition technology in
| | 00:35 | iPhoto is called appropriately
Faces and it works surprisingly well.
| | 00:39 | Let's take a look. To start using Faces,
select one of the photos containing
| | 00:43 | the face of one of the people that
you'd like to be able to sort your photos by.
| | 00:45 | I select this one here. Now it's
best to start off using a photo where the
| | 00:49 | person's face is looking as directly
at the camera as possible. iPhoto does
| | 00:53 | have the ability to detect faces at
angles and it's actually quite good at it,
| | 00:57 | but try to start with a direct shot
like this one if possible. With the photo
| | 01:00 | selected we'll click the Name button.
So you can see iPhoto places a box around
| | 01:04 | the face it detects in the photo.
| | 01:05 | Now you just want to type the name of
this person where it says unknown face,
| | 01:09 | and this is Makenzie. She's the daughter
of one of our lynda.com authors Damian Allen.
| | 01:14 | Hit Return and now
this face is labeled Makenzie.
| | 01:18 | Now at this point you can continue navigating
through your photos and adding more names
| | 01:22 | to the faces that iPhoto has found.
I'm just going to use my arrow buttons
| | 01:25 | here to go to the next picture.
Now notice right here since I entered
| | 01:28 | Makenzie's name in the previous picture,
iPhoto is asking me, Is this Makenzie?
| | 01:32 | So it has a pretty good idea that it is,
but it is asking me to confirm here.
| | 01:35 | If it is, I click the check mark.
If it wasn't Makenzie, I would click the X button
| | 01:38 | and then that would give me the
chance to enter somebody else's name.
| | 01:42 | But this is Makenzie, so I'll click the
check mark. Continuing through, that's her too.
| | 01:50 | Now here she is wearing a costume
and her hand is slightly on her face,
| | 01:54 | so iPhoto is having some trouble
recognizing her in this photo. So I'll just click
| | 01:57 | here where it says unknown face and
I'll start typing here name. Now as soon
| | 02:01 | as I type the first letter, iPhoto will
start trying to narrow it down to all the
| | 02:04 | different names that I might have in my
copy of iPhoto. I have only got the one
| | 02:07 | right now and it's the correct one, so
I'm just going to hit Return or Enter,
| | 02:11 | and there it is.
| | 02:13 | Now here is picture where we have
three people here and none of them are
| | 02:15 | recognized, even though this is Makenzie
down here. So let's go and take care of that first,
| | 02:20 | And this is her mom Marne
and this is Makenzie's sister Michaela.
| | 02:27 | So you can see even though
Michaela is facing off to the left side of
| | 02:31 | the picture here, iPhoto still
recognize that as a face. So now I have
| | 02:35 | three names in my iPhoto library.
Let's continue on and see how this works now.
| | 02:38 | Here's the picture of Marne and Michaela.
Again, these are all M names so now
| | 02:44 | I have to be a little bit more
selective here. iPhoto didn't recognize these
| | 02:49 | right away, but the more faces you tag
with names the better iPhoto will learn
| | 02:53 | what each person's face looks like.
And as you go through you will probably
| | 02:57 | find that iPhoto starts doing a pretty
good job of recognizing the faces of the
| | 03:00 | people you have already named and it
will suggest that name. So you can see this.
| | 03:03 | It's asking me, is this Marne?
It is. Check that. It didn't recognize
| | 03:06 | Makenzie here, so we'll add her in there,
and see it's getting better and better.
| | 03:11 | So there is Marne. That's correct.
This is Makenzie and here is Damian himself.
| | 03:15 | So let's go ahead and add him over here.
And down here is the picture of Michaela.
| | 03:20 | She has got her thumb in her mouth and
her face is partially covered. So iPhoto
| | 03:23 | isn't actually recognizing her face here.
| | 03:26 | In cases like this when you want to
make sure somebody's face is tagged properly,
| | 03:29 | click Add Missing Face. That will
give you this box that you can drag
| | 03:33 | around on screen and resize and then
place over the person's face, like so.
| | 03:39 | You click Done and then you are free
to type a name, and this is Michaela.
| | 03:47 | And again you just keep going through like this.
| | 03:58 | Okay, this is Michaela and you can
see Makenzie's face here is partially
| | 04:01 | obscured but we can still again,
Add Missing Face, just like so.
| | 04:13 | Now occasionally iPhoto will think
something is a face that isn't a face at all.
| | 04:17 | So you can see here it thinks
Michaela's hand is a face. But in those
| | 04:20 | instances you just click little X
button in the Face Recognition box to remove
| | 04:24 | that box from the photo. So that's
pretty much it. You just continue through
| | 04:29 | all of your pictures doing as many as
you want to, and again if a person's face
| | 04:34 | is not being detected, you click the
Add Missing Face button, which is a good idea
| | 04:38 | if you want to make sure that photo
of that particular person shows up when
| | 04:40 | you do a search for the particular name.
| | 04:42 | Now after you have gone through a
selection of photos and this is actually
| | 04:45 | more addictive than you would think,
click on Faces. And here you will find
| | 04:50 | this virtual corkboard with a
snapshot of each of the people that you have
| | 04:53 | named so far. Double-clicking that
person's snapshot chooses more photos that
| | 04:57 | iPhoto thinks include that person.
Just reduce my thumbnail size here.
| | 05:02 | So at the top of the window you see the
photos that we have actually confirmed
| | 05:05 | as being in this case Makenzie. Now
down below you can see Makenzie may also
| | 05:09 | be in these photos. These are the photos
of Makenzie we haven't tagged ourselves
| | 05:14 | but which iPhoto thinks include Makenzie.
| | 05:16 | Now as I said iPhoto does a pretty good
job of face recognition but you've got
| | 05:19 | to help it along to make it even better.
So I want go through here and confirm
| | 05:22 | a couple of more of these as being
Makenzie. To do this I click Confirm Name.
| | 05:28 | And you can see that takes each of
those photos and zooms in on Makenzie's face
| | 05:31 | or what iPhoto thinks is Makenzie's
face, and you can see all we do is just
| | 05:36 | click to confirm. And as I click,
her name pops up in green showing that
| | 05:41 | I'm confirming that.
| | 05:42 | Now she is actually in this photo with
her sister. So I'm going to say click to
| | 05:46 | confirm because she is in there.
So on and so on. Now this one here is not
| | 05:49 | Makenzie. So clicking twice, you can
see it says Not Makenzie and I'll just
| | 05:54 | continue going through here
confirming or rejecting as many as I want.
| | 06:00 | To save time you can drag a marquee
around multiple photos to confirm them all
| | 06:04 | simultaneously. So these are all
Makenzie and I think they are. You can see
| | 06:08 | I just dragged this marquee and they are
all confirmed. Actually, I like to drag
| | 06:12 | the marquee anyway because then it
only takes one click to reject a photo.
| | 06:15 | So if one of these weren't Makenzie,
I can just click it once and it would say
| | 06:17 | Not Makenzie. But you will just make
your way through here confirming or
| | 06:21 | rejecting photos. Once you are done,
click Done. So the more you confirm
| | 06:27 | the people in your photos, the better
iPhoto learns their faces and the more their photos
| | 06:30 | will show up in the Faces area.
I'm going to go back to All Faces.
| | 06:34 | So it should be pretty obvious how
convenient Faces makes it to find pictures of
| | 06:37 | specific people in your iPhoto library.
Now here on the Faces' corkboard
| | 06:41 | you can drag around and rearrange
these faces anyway you like, like so.
| | 06:45 | Now skimming over a person's snapshot
quickly runs through all the photos in that
| | 06:49 | particular collection.
| | 06:51 | You can also set a different default
photo for people by skimming your mouse
| | 06:54 | over the snapshot, finding a picture
that you like and then pressing the spacebar
| | 06:57 | on your keyboard, and you can
see then that photo becomes
| | 07:01 | the default key photo for that person.
| | 07:03 | Faces can really be great for finding
forgotten photos of people that have been
| | 07:06 | lost in your library for years and
it's a fantastic tool for quickly finding
| | 07:09 | just the right photo of one of
your friends and family members.
| | 07:12 | Also worth noting is that the names
you add can be applied to create smart
| | 07:15 | albums based on those names that
you've assigned. For example, if I wanted to
| | 07:18 | create a smart album that contain
photos of everyone here in Damian's family,
| | 07:23 | I could drag to select them all, click
Smart Album and you can see it's called
| | 07:28 | Damian and 3 others. I might
just call this as the Allen Family.
| | 07:33 | So from this point forward any photos
that I import or any photos that iPhoto finds
| | 07:37 | that include any one of those four
different people will automatically be
| | 07:40 | added to this smart album.
| | 07:42 | So that's Faces, a great a new tool in
iPhoto '09 for helping you sort and find
| | 07:46 | photos of your friends and family.

| Using Places| 00:00 | One of the more increasingly popular
trends among photography buffs of all
| | 00:03 | skill levels is geo-tagging. Geo-
tagging photos means including information in
| | 00:08 | a photo's data about the location in
which the photo was taken. More and more
| | 00:12 | cameras are hitting the market with
built-in geo-tagging capabilities and
| | 00:15 | iPhoto '09 has a feature called Places,
which lets you tag, find and organize
| | 00:19 | your photos based on where they were
taken. Even if you don't have a GPS
| | 00:23 | enabled camera and many still don't,
or if your iPhoto library is filled with
| | 00:27 | photos that have no location
information, and again that's probably the
| | 00:30 | majority of people right now it's still
super-easy to add that information into
| | 00:34 | your photos using iPhoto.
Let's see how Places works?
| | 00:37 | Now if you are shooting photos with a
GPS-enabled camera and that includes the
| | 00:41 | iPhone 3G's camera you don't have to
do any work at all. The location data is
| | 00:45 | already added to the photo as soon as
you snap the picture. So when you input
| | 00:49 | your pictures into iPhoto they will be
able to start using Places right away.
| | 00:52 | So for example some of the photos
here already have location information in them.
| | 00:56 | To see the information for a
particular photograph you want to just click
| | 00:59 | at Info button.
| | 01:01 | And here we see this Google Map
showing us the location where this photo was
| | 01:05 | taken, and because this is Google Maps
we can also view a satellite photo as
| | 01:11 | well as a hybrid of the
terrain and satellite maps.
| | 01:15 | And I can navigate to my next photo.
See its location information? Again
| | 01:20 | looking at the hybrid, the satellite
or the terrain. And again with any photo
| | 01:24 | that already has location data in it.
Just click its Info button and you can
| | 01:29 | see where that photo was taken. I like
satellite view because you can usually
| | 01:33 | zoom way in and get a good look at the
location. For instance, right here we
| | 01:36 | are looking at the Hoover Dam.
| | 01:40 | Now additionally you can see the
location information for an entire event. Let
| | 01:44 | me go to my Events view. For example
here in my Australia event you can see
| | 01:51 | location pins placed in several areas
to show where the photos in this set were taken.
| | 01:56 | Skim your mouse over the thumbnails,
also highlights the pines so you can
| | 02:01 | quickly see where that particular
photo was shot. And again we can zoom in on
| | 02:04 | the map, like so.
| | 02:09 | So you can do this with each photo or
event that has location data embedded in it.
| | 02:13 | But let's take a look at how to
use Places with photos that haven't yet
| | 02:16 | been geo-tagged. For example this event
of photos from my trip to Stone Harbor,
| | 02:21 | New Jersey haven't yet been tagged
with location information. If I click the
| | 02:24 | Info button you just see
a generic map down here.
| | 02:26 | To add the location information click
where it says Enter event location and
| | 02:31 | I'll type Stone Harbor. Notice as you
type iPhoto offers suggestions of the
| | 02:36 | location for you, and as you
continue to type it just narrows down those
| | 02:39 | locations. So right there I can see
Stone Harbor, New Jersey, United States.
| | 02:42 | That's correct. I click
on that, and there it is.
| | 02:45 | So now all the photos in this event
have been tagged is being taken in Stone
| | 02:48 | Harbor, New Jersey. Then we
have Satellite and Hybrid.
| | 02:54 | Now if that's as specific as you want
to get with geo-tagging. That's fine. But
| | 02:58 | you might want to be a little bit more
precise when you add location data to
| | 03:01 | your photos. For example these photos
in the Peabody Hotel taken in Orlando,
| | 03:05 | Florida, all tag has been taken in
Orlando where the Peabody Hotel is located.
| | 03:10 | But really all the photos in this set
were taken at that hotel. So I want to go
| | 03:14 | in and specify that hotel
is location for these photos.
| | 03:17 | So I'll click where it currently says
Orlando and type Peabody Hotel, and you
| | 03:26 | see that iPhoto has no suggestions for
this location. In cases like this where
| | 03:30 | iPhoto isn't able to find the location
you are specifying all you have to do is
| | 03:33 | a Google search. Click New place and
here with Google search selected you can
| | 03:39 | search for Peabody Hotel or whatever
location you happened to be looking for.
| | 03:43 | iPhoto does a quick search for me.
| | 03:47 | Now in this case it found a Peabody
Hotel in Tennessee. Now the one I'm looking
| | 03:50 | for is in Orlando. So if it doesn't
find the location you are looking for you
| | 03:54 | might want to try a little bit more
specific, so I'll type Orlando, And there
| | 04:02 | it is. So here it's showing me a car
rental location, the restaurants at the hotel,
| | 04:06 | but here's the entry for just the hotel.
| | 04:09 | Now if I want to get really specific
about where that pin is located I can zoom
| | 04:12 | in a little bit so I can see what's
going on. Drag my map around, and I can see
| | 04:18 | the hotel right there. There is a duct
design that it had on the roof in one of
| | 04:23 | my photos, right there.
| | 04:27 | So what I'm going to do is just take
that pin and drag it on top of hotel and
| | 04:33 | you can also adjust the radius of the
circle to specify the area where those
| | 04:37 | photos were taken. So I can just drag
it around the hotel itself, maybe like so.
| | 04:42 | So you can be extremely precise
with setting your locations here. Once you
| | 04:46 | are happy with that location, just
click Assign to event. And there it is.
| | 04:51 | You can see now all these photos are all
tagged with the Peabody Orlando Hotel.
| | 04:57 | So that's how to add location data to
photos that don't already have location data.
| | 05:00 | Again if your camera adds location
automatically you don't have to do
| | 05:03 | anything other than
import the photos into iPhoto.
| | 05:06 | Now where this all really gets cool is
after you have got all of your photos or
| | 05:10 | at least the decent portion of them
tagged with location information. You can
| | 05:13 | then browse through them based on location
using the Places view, which you see here.
| | 05:19 | Now right now I'm seeing a world map
because I have photos from the US and
| | 05:22 | Australia and up here in Taiwan. If
all your photos were taken in the US, for
| | 05:25 | example, Places will just
zoom into the US map by default.
| | 05:31 | Double-clicking on the map also zooms
into a particular location, and you can
| | 05:35 | double-click it couple times if you
really want to zoom in. Rolling your mouse
| | 05:38 | over a pin gives you the name of its
location, and then clicking the little
| | 05:42 | arrow next to the name shows you
all the photos taken in that location.
| | 05:47 | Clicking Map takes you to the back to
the Map view, and again you can continue
| | 05:51 | going through here, rolling over a pin,
click arrow next to its name and seeing
| | 05:57 | the pictures from that location.
| | 06:00 | Clicking Zoom All shows you the entire
map again. And this Places map is pretty
| | 06:05 | smart. When you zoomed into a location
clicking Show Photos shows you all the
| | 06:16 | photos taken in the visible portion of that map.
| | 06:23 | Lastly, Places also has a Column view,
which you can view by clicking the
| | 06:26 | Column button right here. This lets
you browse through your photos based on
| | 06:32 | location. Just make your way from left-
to-right narrowing down your search by
| | 06:35 | country, state, city and even point of
interest. This lets you really narrow
| | 06:45 | down your search.
| | 06:46 | So again if I wanted to look at my
pictures from Australia but I wanted to
| | 06:49 | narrow them down to just the photos in
Melbourne, click on there. And again you
| | 06:54 | can just narrow down from country, state,
city and point of interest. So that's
| | 06:59 | Places in iPhoto '09. It's another
great way to organize and search through
| | 07:03 | your photos.

| Reviewing new slideshow themes| 00:00 | iPhoto's slideshow capabilities have
always been a great way to show your
| | 00:03 | photos to your friends, but iPhoto '09
takes slideshows to a new level with a
| | 00:07 | brand new set of themes and features.
In this video, I would like to give you a
| | 00:10 | brief tour of these new themes and
show you what you can do with slideshows.
| | 00:14 | Start off by selecting the photos you
want to show. You can select individual
| | 00:17 | photos, an entire event, or you even
create slideshows based around a person's face
| | 00:22 | in Faces, by selecting them in
here, or you can even create a slideshow
| | 00:27 | around a location in Places.
| | 00:29 | For this example, I'll use the photos
of all the locations that are displayed
| | 00:32 | in my Places map. So if I switch to
Column view, here you can see that all of
| | 00:36 | my photos are selected. Once you have
selected some photos for your slideshow,
| | 00:39 | click the Slideshow button.
| | 00:41 | Now, here is where you can choose one
of six new themes that are included with
| | 00:46 | iPhoto '09. Placing your mouse over
one of the themes gives you a preview of
| | 00:51 | what that particular slideshow will look like.
| | 00:59 | Each slideshow theme has its own built
-in music, but you can select some of
| | 01:02 | your own music by going to the Music
tab and then browsing through the Theme Music
| | 01:06 | that's included or through your
GarageBand music or you iTunes library.
| | 01:13 | The Settings tab is where you can make
adjustments to your slideshow, like setting
| | 01:16 | it up so that the slideshow duration
fits to the length of the music, or shows
| | 01:20 | your photos in a random order, and so
on. The settings that you see under the
| | 01:24 | Settings tab will vary depending
on which theme you have chosen.
| | 01:26 | I am going to leave everything at
its default and go back to Themes.
| | 01:31 | Let's go with the Snapshots
theme and click Play.
| | 01:33 | (Jazz music plays.)
| | 01:43 | So here we can hear the music that's
built into this particular theme,
| | 01:47 | as our photos go by.
| | 01:51 | Now, while the slideshow is playing,
moving your mouse brings up options to
| | 01:55 | pause the slideshow, you can move
forward or backward in your photos, or even
| | 02:00 | pick different themes, music, or
settings for the slideshow. Clicking the X
| | 02:03 | button here leave the slideshow.
| | 02:06 | But let's say I wanted to just pick a
different theme. I can click the Theme
| | 02:08 | button here. It gives me the same
Theme Chooser we just saw, and I'll choose
| | 02:13 | Sliding Panels this time and click Play again.
| | 02:17 | (Music plays.)
| | 02:20 | Now, picking a different theme starts
me at the beginning of the photos again.
| | 02:24 | If you want to quickly jump ahead or
back in your slideshow, move your mouse to
| | 02:26 | the very bottom of the screen and you
will get thumbnails for every photo in
| | 02:30 | the slideshow. Simply click on a photo
to jump to that particular part of the slideshow.
| | 02:48 | And just press Escape on
your keyboard to leave the slideshow.
| | 02:51 | So that's a really easy way to create
professional looking slideshows on the fly,
| | 02:54 | simply by selecting some photos
and clicking the Slideshow button,
| | 02:58 | but there will be times when you will want
to have a slideshow ready to go without
| | 03:01 | having to set it up first.
| | 03:02 | So to create a slideshow project, have
your photos selected, in this case I'll
| | 03:07 | just go with all these photos again,
click the Add button, choose Slideshow,
| | 03:15 | create a name for your slideshow,
and click Create.
| | 03:22 | The slideshow then appears as a
project in your Source List here and now
| | 03:26 | you are free to rearrange and customize
the slideshow however you like. Changing
| | 03:30 | the order of your slide is simply a
matter of just dragging them to the left or
| | 03:33 | right in the Photo Browser.
| | 03:36 | To customize the slideshow settings,
click the Settings button, and you can
| | 03:41 | choose settings for All Slides or just
for a selected slide. For example, maybe
| | 03:45 | I'll just bump this down to 2 seconds
for each slide. Again, depending on what
| | 03:50 | theme you choose, you will
see different options in here.
| | 03:53 | Go ahead and close that. You can click
the Preview button at anytime to see how
| | 03:57 | your slideshow will look
with those settings applied.
| | 04:04 | Click it again to turn off the Preview.
| | 04:06 | The Preview is nice because
it doesn't take you to full screen,
| | 04:08 | yet you can still see
what the slideshow will look like.
| | 04:10 | If you want to change a theme, just
select a different theme from here,
| | 04:15 | click Choose, and you can Preview it again.
| | 04:17 | (Music plays.)
| | 04:32 | So now anytime you want to show this
slideshow project, just select it in your
| | 04:35 | Source List and then click the Play
button to show your slideshow at full screen.
| | 04:40 | (Music plays.)
| | 04:42 | You will still have all the options to
jump forward or backwards using these
| | 04:45 | controls here, or picking different
themes or settings, and rolling your mouse
| | 04:48 | to the bottom of the screen again lets you
jump to a particular location in your slideshow.
| | 04:52 | (Music plays.)
| | 05:00 | Again, we can press Escape
to leave the slideshow.
| | 05:03 | Finally, iPhoto '09 makes it
incredibly easy to export your slideshow so
| | 05:07 | you can still share your photos with people
who don't happen to be sitting directly
| | 05:10 | in front of your Mac. With your
slideshow project selected, just click
| | 05:13 | the Export button, and this allows you to
export your slideshow as a QuickTime movie.
| | 05:19 | From here you can select the size
for your movie that best suits your needs.
| | 05:23 | This chart here gives you an idea of
what formats work best for playing back on
| | 05:26 | iPods, iPhones, Apple TVs and so on.
Rolling your mouse over the Info button
| | 05:32 | lets you see some more information
about these particular settings and gives you
| | 05:36 | an approximate file
size for the exported movie.
| | 05:38 | So you can export any combination of
these different settings that you want so
| | 05:42 | you have different versions of the
slideshow to send to say your iPod and to
| | 05:45 | your computer or to your MobileMe account.
| | 05:48 | You also have the option to send your
movie directly to your iTunes Library
| | 05:51 | from here once it has been exported,
which makes it easier to sync the movie to
| | 05:55 | your iPod or iPhone.
| | 05:56 | iPhoto even offers the option to
fully customize your export settings by
| | 06:00 | clicking Custom Export. You can take
advantage of this if you are familiar with
| | 06:06 | QuickTime settings. You can go into
Options, go into Settings, and here you can
| | 06:10 | choose all different types of codecs
and settings, but I wouldn't recommend
| | 06:13 | going in here unless you are
familiar with QuickTime codecs.
| | 06:16 | In most cases, sticking with the Mobile,
Medium, Large, or Display settings are
| | 06:22 | going to yield you great results.
| | 06:24 | So those are the new features and
settings for slideshows in iPhoto '09.

| Working with the enhanced editing tools| 00:00 | In iPhoto '09, you will find
improvements to previously existing editing tools
| | 00:04 | as well as the selection of new
editing tools to help make your photos look
| | 00:07 | better than ever.
| | 00:08 | Let's start by taking a look at some of
the improvements to existing tools. So
| | 00:12 | here we have a photo with the common
problem of red eye. Red eye correction has
| | 00:16 | been in iPhoto for a while but now that
iPhoto has the ability to detect faces
| | 00:20 | in your pictures,
correcting red eye is even easier.
| | 00:23 | To fix red eye, just click the Edit
button and then click Red Eye. If iPhoto
| | 00:29 | has detected a face in the photo, this
Auto button will be available. Click it,
| | 00:34 | and iPhoto instantly removes
the red eye. How cool is that?!
| | 00:37 | I will press the Shift key a couple of
times and watch the eyes there and you
| | 00:40 | can see how good a job iPhoto did on
removing the red eye and it works with
| | 00:44 | more than one person in the photo as well.
| | 00:46 | Again, for this picture, we have the
Auto button available, so clicking that,
| | 00:51 | and the red eye problem in both of the
kids' faces here is gone. Unfortunately,
| | 00:54 | we can't do anything about the frog's red eyes.
Red eye improvement only works on humans.
| | 01:01 | Now, in photos where iPhoto wasn't
able to detect faces such as this one, you
| | 01:05 | will find the Auto button is grayed out.
So clicking it will have no effect. So
| | 01:09 | red eye here has to be fixed manually.
Let's zoom in a bit on this photo.
| | 01:12 | Notice it also brings up the
Navigation pane here which allows you to drag
| | 01:17 | around, and position your
photo once you are zoomed-in on it.
| | 01:20 | As with previous versions of iPhoto,
you can manually fix red eye by clicking
| | 01:23 | in each pupil with the Red Eye tool.
But here in iPhoto '09, you now have the
| | 01:27 | Size slider, which allows you to
visually size the Red Eye tool to best match
| | 01:32 | the size of the pupil you are trying to fix.
| | 01:33 | So probably right around there, and
you can move this if you want to get the
| | 01:39 | Size slider there a little bit closer,
try to compare, right there, and let me
| | 01:44 | click once. I kind of missed. I'm
going to Command+Z to undo that, do another
| | 01:49 | one, and then we click on this eye,
and we can do the same over here.
| | 01:57 | Now, in this one, the eye is partially
obscured. So I'm going to make my Red
| | 02:01 | Eye tool a little bit smaller. It's
not too bad, I'll just make that a little
| | 02:07 | bit smaller and just get the little bit
of edge that I left there. Here we go.
| | 02:10 | That's not bad, and we'll zoom back out,
and there we go. So it's still easy to
| | 02:19 | fix red eye even when iPhoto isn't
able to detect the face in your photo.
| | 02:24 | Now, similarly the Retouch tool,
which allows you to paint away unwanted
| | 02:29 | blemishes on your photos, has also
been given the Size slider. So with my
| | 02:33 | Retouch tool selected, this allows
me to be much more precise with my
| | 02:37 | corrections. So I can increase or
decrease the size of my Retouch tool.
| | 02:41 | So if I wanted to get rid of these
little spots that I see on her shirt here, I
| | 02:45 | can just resize that, make that a
little smaller, and just paint right over
| | 02:49 | them, and I get rid of those spots,
drag down a little bit, or you can make the
| | 02:56 | Retouch tool larger to get rid of
bigger blemishes like this, or maybe I just
| | 03:00 | want to even get rid of these hand-
drawn letters here. I can just paint right
| | 03:05 | over those and there we go. And one
more there, make it a little bit smaller to
| | 03:15 | get that final of the spot, and again
you can press the Shift key to see your changes.
| | 03:22 | Now, also improved in this version of
iPhoto is the Enhance button. Like the
| | 03:28 | Red Eye and Retouch tools, the Enhance
button has been around for a while and
| | 03:31 | it's used to brighten dark photos and
adjust exposure and contrast levels in
| | 03:35 | your pictures.
| | 03:36 | In previous versions of iPhoto, you
basically just clicked Enhance and that was that.
| | 03:40 | Let me undo that by hitting
Command+Z. But here in iPhoto '09,
| | 03:45 | if you open the Adjust pane, you can
actually see what the Enhance button does.
| | 03:50 | So watch the Adjust pane when I click
Enhance. So you can see it adjust the
| | 03:54 | saturation a bit, increase the Shadow slider,
and it did a couple of other things as well.
| | 04:00 | So not only does the Enhance tool
still make your photo look better in most
| | 04:03 | cases, but this is also now a great way
to learn how to make manual adjustments
| | 04:06 | to your photos. While we are here
in the Adjust panel, let's look at two
| | 04:10 | brand-new features that you will find here.
| | 04:12 | First, we have the Definition slider,
which lets you increase the clarity and
| | 04:16 | reduce the haze in your photo, but
without adding too much contrast across the
| | 04:19 | entire photo. Notice as I drag the
slider to the right, the edges in the photo
| | 04:23 | become much more defined.
| | 04:24 | Now, it's up to you to determine how
much definition you want to add to your
| | 04:31 | photos, but adding even a little bit
can help make your photos pop a little more.
| | 04:34 | Again, pressing the Shift key,
I can see the improvements that I have made.
| | 04:40 | And speaking of popping, the final
new editing tool I want to show you is
| | 04:48 | this check box here that says
Avoid saturating skin tones.
| | 04:52 | Now this photograph here is okay, but
it's pretty flat tonally. It would be
| | 04:55 | nice to increase the overall
saturation to make the colors pop a little more,
| | 04:59 | but look what happens when I drag
the Saturation slider to the right.
| | 05:02 | The colors look more vibrant, but the
little girl's skin tone looks really
| | 05:05 | unnatural. As you have probably guessed,
that's what this check box is here for.
| | 05:11 | iPhoto '09 is able to recognize skin
tones and knows how to let you increase
| | 05:15 | the saturation of the rest of the
picture without making the people in the
| | 05:18 | photos look radioactive. So notice
as I drag the Saturation slider to the
| | 05:22 | right, the little girl's skin tone
pretty much stays the same, yet I'm
| | 05:26 | increasing the saturation of the
balloons and the grass. I call it smart
| | 05:30 | saturation. Again, holding down the
Shift key, you can see the difference.
| | 05:33 | So everything is a lot more vibrant and
colorful from the balloons to the grass
| | 05:38 | to the shirt, but the skin tones are
staying relatively the same. So there you
| | 05:43 | have the new and improved editing
tools you'll find in iPhoto '09.

| Building travel maps| 00:00 | Like its predecessors, iPhoto '09
offers you the ability to design and order
| | 00:04 | soft or hard cover photo books for
those times when you would like to have a
| | 00:07 | real bound album for your most
treasured and meaningful picture collections.
| | 00:12 | With iPhoto '09, you will find
enhancements in everything from the options
| | 00:15 | you have for assembling the book, to
the improved print quality and binding of
| | 00:18 | the actual book itself.
| | 00:20 | What I would like to show you in this
movie though are the new travel map page
| | 00:23 | layouts you can add to your books,
which are essentially custom maps you can
| | 00:26 | place in your books to
show where you were on a trip.
| | 00:28 | So I want to create a photo book of
my pictures from my trip to Australia.
| | 00:33 | So I'll select that event and click
Book. As before, you can choose from a
| | 00:39 | Hardcover, Softcover, or Wire-bound
Softcover book. We'll go with Hardcover.
| | 00:45 | You can choose from several different
themes for the book. Again, you can just
| | 00:48 | browse through here and pick a theme
that you like. I'm going to go with Travel.
| | 00:51 | Remember that you are not stuck
with a theme that you choose here.
| | 00:53 | You can always change your mind about it
at any time while you are designing your book.
| | 00:56 | So I'll click Choose.
| | 01:02 | So if you have created photo books
before, this part of the process hasn't
| | 01:05 | really changed. As you can see here,
you just drag photos from the top of the
| | 01:08 | iPhoto window onto your book pages, or
you can also use the Autoflow button to
| | 01:12 | have iPhoto put all the
pictures into your book for you.
| | 01:14 | So I'll click on OK and again as
before, you just drag pictures from the top
| | 01:19 | of the window to the placeholders.
| | 01:20 | You can use the arrows to navigate
from page to page. Because this is a
| | 01:26 | hardcover book, we have a paper
dustcover for it. We can actually add text
| | 01:30 | and photos to that as well.
Let's just skip ahead a little bit here.
| | 01:34 | All right. So on the page on the left
here we have a travel map, and using the
| | 01:39 | location information of my photos,
iPhoto has created a map of southern Australia,
| | 01:43 | showing the places I visited.
| | 01:45 | Again, the ability to use location data
from photos is a new feature of iPhoto '09.
| | 01:49 | So if you haven't watched the
movie on Places yet, be sure to go back and
| | 01:52 | check that out for all the details.
| | 01:54 | So let's look at the options we have
for our map. First of all, with the map
| | 01:58 | selected here, if you click the Layout
button, you will find the new Map layout option,
| | 02:03 | and in that menu, you will see
a preview of several types of travel map
| | 02:06 | page layouts you can use.
| | 02:08 | Something like this one will give you
a place where you can type some text
| | 02:11 | about your trip. This one here gives
you a place where you can type information
| | 02:17 | about your trip, as well as a place
where you can drag a photo.
| | 02:23 | This page out here lets you put a small map on
top of a full-page image. In all, you have got
| | 02:29 | 20 different travel map page layouts
here so you are sure to find something
| | 02:32 | that suits your tastes.
| | 02:34 | For this example though, let's go with
a basic map just by itself so I can show you
| | 02:37 | how to customize it. Now, clicking
the map gives you this pop-up that lets
| | 02:42 | you adjust the zoom level of the map,
so I can zoom way out or way in.
| | 02:49 | You can drag the map around on the
screen if you want to reposition it on the page.
| | 02:53 | You can also give the map a title.
I'll call this Southern Australia and
| | 03:00 | you can see that label appears right
down here in the lower left hand corner.
| | 03:05 | Under the Places section here is where
you can customize the locations on your map.
| | 03:08 | Now, right now one of my places
is denoted as Victoria, but Victoria is
| | 03:13 | the state in Australia that I was
traveling in. This point on the map that's
| | 03:16 | labeled Victoria is actually Twelve
Apostles National Park. So I can change
| | 03:20 | that by double-clicking where it says
Victoria and typing in the replacement text.
| | 03:28 | You can see that text
has now been replaced on the map.
| | 03:31 | Now, the map is also missing one of
the towns we stopped in. There is a small
| | 03:34 | town called Lorne where we came across
an outdoor trampoline park and I want
| | 03:38 | to make sure that that's included on
the map. So I'm going to click the Add button
| | 03:41 | and type in Lorne. Again, as I type,
iPhoto is making suggestions of
| | 03:48 | places that it knows, but Lorne
doesn't show up as one of the places that
| | 03:51 | iPhoto knows so let's click New Place.
| | 03:56 | This process is very similar to what I
showed you in the movie on using Places.
| | 04:00 | Here I can do a Google search and
I'll type Lorne, Victoria, Australia.
| | 04:07 | Being as specific as possible here to give
Google a better chance of finding the place
| | 04:10 | that I'm actually looking for.
| | 04:12 | So now iPhoto is doing a Google search
for that location. There it is. Lorne VIC.
| | 04:18 | Now, truthfully, I only really stopped
in Lorne because of the trampoline park
| | 04:22 | I mentioned, so I want
to be very precise about this.
| | 04:24 | I am going to click Drop Pin to create
a new location on this map. You can see
| | 04:29 | this says New Place. I'm going to
call this Lorne Trampoline Park.
| | 04:33 | Now, the pin I dropped is actually on
top of the existing pin so if I just
| | 04:38 | click and drag, you will see that it's
right there. Now let's zoom in and find
| | 04:41 | that trampoline park. This is
really why I love Google Maps.
| | 04:46 | Using the satellite view here, I can just drag,
and I knew it was right along the beach,
| | 04:50 | so right there is my trampoline park.
| | 04:52 | I am going to reduce the radius of
this circle here so that I can see it a
| | 04:56 | little bit better. Just drag it up
and place it there. Let's just zoom in
| | 05:00 | a little bit more.
| | 05:07 | So there is the trampoline park from my photos.
| | 05:09 | How cool is that?!
| | 05:12 | So I have placed my pin right there.
I can reduce that radius even more to be
| | 05:15 | very precise and then click Done, and
you can see that Lorne Trampoline Park is
| | 05:20 | now listed here and it appears on my map.
| | 05:24 | Let's zoom in on the map a little bit
more to spread things out a bit. Like so.
| | 05:31 | Now lastly, we have the option to show
lines on our map, which lets you show
| | 05:35 | the path you took on your travels.
Notice with that checked we now see these arrows.
| | 05:39 | Now, these arrows go in the order of
our list of places. So in actuality,
| | 05:43 | we went from Melbourne to Lorne to Twelve
Apostles National Park. So I'm going to
| | 05:47 | drag Lorne Trampoline Park up under
Melbourne, and you can see that little
| | 05:52 | line appears there and that changes
the order of my places and that also fixes
| | 05:56 | the order of my arrows. So now we go
from Melbourne to Twelve Apostles National Park.
| | 05:59 | So now I have got this great looking
map in my photo book showing the places
| | 06:04 | I visited and the path I followed to
get to those places. Now, one word of warning.
| | 06:08 | If you do need to add your own custom
places to your map, like I did here,
| | 06:11 | make sure that you have decided on
your map layout before doing all that work.
| | 06:15 | Because if you change your
mind about the layout afterwards--
| | 06:18 | for instance, if I went to Map and then
decided I wanted to have some text here,
| | 06:22 | watch what happens. Notice that the
layout now defaults back to the original
| | 06:26 | places we first saw. So right now I
only see Melbourne and Victoria here again.
| | 06:30 | Now, the way to prevent this from
happening is to first make sure that all of
| | 06:32 | the photos that you intend to place
in your album have the proper location
| | 06:35 | information already in them
before you create your photo book.
| | 06:38 | Now, if you need a refresher on how to
do that, make sure you go back and watch
| | 06:41 | the movie on Places. But there you
have the new travel map feature in iPhoto '09.
| | 06:46 | It's an incredibly easy way to add
great looking custom maps to your photo books.

| Connecting to social networking| 00:00 | If you are part of the ever growing
online community of social networking users,
| | 00:03 | you will be happy to know that
iPhoto '09 comes with the ability to
| | 00:06 | publish your photos to Facebook and
Flickr without ever having to leave iPhoto.
| | 00:11 | It's super easy to do, so
let's see how this works.
| | 00:13 | Let's talk Facebook first. Although
Facebook has its own system for publishing
| | 00:17 | your photos to your Facebook page, you
might as well do your publishing from
| | 00:20 | iPhoto, since all of your photos are
most likely ready to be in your iPhoto library.
| | 00:24 | To publish photos to Facebook, select
the photos you want to publish, and click
| | 00:30 | Facebook. Now, the first time you do
this you will be asked to setup your
| | 00:33 | Facebook account to accept
uploads from iPhoto. Click Set Up.
| | 00:41 | In this dialog you will want to enter
your Facebook Email Address and Password.
| | 00:48 | If you don't want to have to enter
this information each time, check Keep me
| | 00:51 | logged in to iPhoto Uploader. Then click Login.
| | 00:55 | So here Facebook is asking me, do I
want to allow iPhoto Uploader to have
| | 00:59 | access to my Facebook account? So in
order to upload photos, I'll have to allow this.
| | 01:03 | So I'll click Allow.
| | 01:06 | Once your Facebook name and password
have been confirmed and you have allowed
| | 01:09 | iPhoto Uploader to have access to
your Facebook account, you will see this
| | 01:12 | image and you can click Close.
| | 01:17 | So now iPhoto is ready to publish your
selected photos to Facebook. Here it's
| | 01:20 | asking me, do you want to publish "
family shots" to Facebook? And it's grabbing
| | 01:23 | this name "family shots" from the name
of the album that I'm using here.
| | 01:27 | You can choose here to allow Everyone to
see these photos, Friends of Friends, or
| | 01:30 | Only Friends. And these are referring
to your Facebook friends, people who you
| | 01:33 | have friended on your Facebook account.
| | 01:35 | So if you only wanted your Facebook
friends to see these photos for example,
| | 01:38 | you would choose Only Friends. Once you
have made that selection, you can click Publish.
| | 01:45 | You can see now that we have a new
Facebook Album here in the Source List.
| | 01:49 | The status here tells me that it's
still uploading the photos, and in the
| | 01:52 | upper-right hand corner you can
also watch the progress of your upload.
| | 01:59 | Once iPhoto is done publishing your
photos, you will see the URL for that
| | 02:02 | gallery, right here at the top of your
window, which you can click on to view
| | 02:05 | that gallery in Facebook.
| | 02:06 | Now, if you are currently not logged
into your Facebook account in your web
| | 02:12 | browser, you will have to do so
before you can see your gallery. All right.
| | 02:18 | Here is my iPhoto gallery, here on my
Facebook page. See all the photos are here.
| | 02:23 | Clicking on the thumbnail
will take me to that photo.
| | 02:25 | One of the really cool thing about
publishing your photos to Facebook from
| | 02:29 | iPhoto is that if you have used
iPhoto's Faces feature to name any of
| | 02:32 | the people who appear in your pictures,
their names will show up in Facebook's name tags, like so.
| | 02:38 | Not only that, but if any of your
friends use Facebook to add missing names of
| | 02:41 | the people in your photos, those names
will then show up in the version of that
| | 02:44 | picture in your copy of iPhoto the
next time you sync your Facebook album.
| | 02:48 | Facebook gives your friends the
opportunity to tag people in your pictures by
| | 02:51 | using the Tag This Photo tool here. So
if somebody comes across the picture in
| | 02:56 | one of your albums, where one of the
people is not tagged in it, they can click
| | 02:59 | Tag This Photo, draw a box around that
person's face, and then add a name, and
| | 03:03 | then when you go back to iPhoto, and
click the Publish button here, you will
| | 03:06 | sync your album with Facebook and those
names will be downloaded into your copy of iPhoto.
| | 03:10 | This is a great way to figure out who
each person in the photo is. I know a lot
| | 03:14 | of people, who are uploading their
old high school pictures of shots of the
| | 03:17 | classroom, and all of their Facebook
friends are contributing tags to name each
| | 03:20 | person in those photographs, and that to me
is really the definition of social networking.
| | 03:25 | Now back in iPhoto, you can add to
your Facebook gallery at anytime by
| | 03:29 | selecting photos and dragging them
into your Facebook album. You can see they
| | 03:35 | have been added there, and you can see
now that iPhoto is syncing that change
| | 03:39 | with Facebook.
| | 03:43 | So now if I go back to my Facebook page,
and there are the three photos that I just added.
| | 03:48 | Conversely, if you remove any photos
from your Facebook gallery here, just by
| | 03:51 | selecting them, and hitting Delete on
your keyboard, the next time you sync
| | 03:56 | that photo will also be
removed from your Facebook gallery.
| | 03:58 | If you want to delete the entire
gallery from Facebook, you can either do so
| | 04:01 | from Facebook itself, or you can do
so right here in iPhoto, simply by
| | 04:04 | right-clicking on the Album
and choosing Delete Album.
| | 04:09 | Now, iPhoto warns me that the photos
in the album will still be available in
| | 04:12 | the library and other albums that
contains them too, so we are not actually
| | 04:15 | deleting the photos, we are just
deleting this album. So I'll click Delete.
| | 04:20 | Notice it's syncing here too, because
it's actually deleting that gallery from
| | 04:23 | Facebook as well. So if I were to go
back to my browser and refresh this page,
| | 04:31 | you can see that page is no longer
available here on Facebook because it has
| | 04:34 | been deleted. So that's just
publishing your photos to Facebook.
| | 04:38 | Now, publishing your photos to Flickr,
one of the most popular photo sharing
| | 04:41 | sites in the world, is just as easy.
To publish photos to Flickr, again, you
| | 04:45 | just select the photos you want to
publish, let's just use these for example,
| | 04:50 | and then click Flickr.
| | 04:52 | As with Facebook, you need to confirm
your Flickr account to allow photos to be
| | 04:55 | published from iPhoto to your
Flickr account. So we click Set Up.
| | 04:59 | Now, when we did this with Facebook,
you can confirm everything without leaving
| | 05:03 | iPhoto, but when confirming your
Flickr account, at least for the time being,
| | 05:06 | you do so from your web browser,
which is why Safari just popped open.
| | 05:10 | So here on the Flickr Login page, I
would enter my Yahoo ID, and of course you
| | 05:13 | have to have all this setup already. So
if you don't have a Flickr account, you
| | 05:16 | can go to flickr.com and sign up for
a Yahoo ID, so you can have a Flickr account.
| | 05:23 | Here on this page, this is where you
allow iPhoto Uploader to access your
| | 05:27 | Flickr account, so that you can
upload your photos directly from iPhoto to
| | 05:30 | Flickr. So on this page, we'll
just click OK, I'll allow it.
| | 05:34 | When you see this page telling you
that you have successfully authorized the
| | 05:37 | application, iPhoto Uploader, you can
go ahead and close this window and go
| | 05:40 | back to iPhoto.
| | 05:43 | iPhoto is smart enough to know that
you have now authorized it to upload to
| | 05:46 | Flickr, and you will see this dialog appear.
| | 05:49 | Again, we can choose who can see the
photos we are publishing. We can say Only
| | 05:52 | You, Your Friends, Your Family, Your
Friends and Family, or Anyone who is
| | 05:55 | visiting the Flickr website.
| | 05:56 | For example, I just choose Only You.
Now, if you want the image strictly for
| | 06:00 | viewing on the web, you would choose
Web for your photo size. You also have the
| | 06:03 | option of choosing Optimized or Actual
Size. Now, in this case those options
| | 06:08 | are grayed out because the sample
files I'm using for this exercise are
| | 06:11 | actually too small to print at larger
sizes. But if you are publishing higher
| | 06:14 | resolution photographs, you will
have these options available to you.
| | 06:17 | Once you have made your selections,
click Publish, and you can see that a
| | 06:22 | Flickr album now appears in my Source
List. Once again, in the upper-right hand
| | 06:27 | corner you will see the status of
your upload. Once your photos have been
| | 06:31 | published, you will see the URL for
the photo gallery in the upper portion of
| | 06:35 | your window, click on it, and you
will go right to Flickr to look at that
| | 06:38 | gallery. There they are.
| | 06:40 | So once your photos are on Flickr, you
can edit their titles and captions, move
| | 06:44 | them into other Flickr sets and do
anything else you would normally do with any
| | 06:47 | other photo on Flicker.
| | 06:49 | As with Facebook albums, you can add or
remove photos to your Flickr albums at
| | 06:53 | anytime, by dragging them in or
out of the album here on iPhoto.
| | 06:56 | So since your photos are most likely
going to be stored in your iPhoto library,
| | 07:00 | iPhoto '09's new ability to publish
directly to Facebook and Flickr makes it
| | 07:03 | easy to share your pictures online.

2. iMovieUsing the advanced drag-and-drop feature| 00:00 | Editing clips together in iMovie is a
simple matter of selecting the portion of
| | 00:03 | the clips you want and dragging them
into your project. This incredibly easy
| | 00:07 | method of editing was introduced in
iMovie '08, and worked exactly the same in
| | 00:11 | iMovie '09, but iMovie '09 also
brings a ton of new options that become
| | 00:15 | available when you drag
clips on top of other clips.
| | 00:18 | In this iMovie project, I'm editing
together some nature footage shot in Aspen,
| | 00:21 | Colorado. And again, the most basic
way of editing clips together is to make
| | 00:25 | selections from your Events and drag
them into your project, and I'll just call
| | 00:33 | this one Aspen. I'll leave the Aspect
Ratio at 69, and the Theme at None.,
| | 00:37 | Okay so there is my first clip and
let me just grab some more footage here.
| | 00:42 | I'll just grab this entire clip here,
drag that in, and I'll just continue dragging
| | 00:47 | clips in to build my movie.
| | 00:49 | Now let's say I have changed my mind.
Instead of opening with a shot of leaves,
| | 00:52 | I want to use this footage of the
clouds moving slowly over the mountains.
| | 00:56 | So I'm going to make a selection there,
and drag that over the clip of leaves.
| | 01:02 | Now when you do this in iMovie '09, you
get this popup containing these options
| | 01:06 | that you can select from. I can choose
to replace this entire clip with the one
| | 01:09 | I'm dragging in, so you can see now
I've replaced that shorter clip of leaves
| | 01:13 | with this longer clip of the mountains,
and that's increased the overall length
| | 01:17 | of my movie, so that's pretty easy.
Let me undo that so I can show you some
| | 01:21 | of the other options.
| | 01:22 | Let's make another selection here.
Now instead of replacing the clip when
| | 01:28 | I drag over, I can also choose to
insert the clip that I'm dragging in.
| | 01:32 | Which means that instead of replacing this
clip of the leaves, my movie will cut to
| | 01:35 | the footage of the mountains at the
point where the playhead is currently at.
| | 01:38 | So I'll choose Insert. So you can see
I see couple of seconds of the leaves,
| | 01:43 | then it will cut to the mountains and
when that footage is done, it will come
| | 01:47 | back to the remainder of the leaves
footage. So that's the Insert command.
| | 01:51 | Let's undo that. And you probably
already saw that the last option currently
| | 01:55 | available is for importing just the
audio from the clip I'm dragging in.
| | 01:58 | Let me grab this footage of the river here.
| | 02:04 | And let's drag that
on top of the clip of
| | 02:07 | the leaves again and this
time I'll choose Audio Only.
| | 02:10 | So you can see that just adds this
audio track down below the clip, just drag
| | 02:14 | that over a bit, and I can adjust
the end to snap to the length of the clip.
| | 02:19 | Now let's play that back.
| | 02:21 | (Sound of rushing water.)
| | 02:27 | So I now have created the illusion that
| | 02:29 | this footage was shot near a river.
Delete that and you can hear what it sounds
| | 02:33 | like without the audio from the river added.
| | 02:36 | (Sound of wind rustling through leaves.)
| | 02:39 | So this is some of the options you have
available when you drag clips on top of
| | 02:42 | other clips in your project, but in
reality that's only scratching the surface
| | 02:46 | of the options that are available when
you drag a selection of a clip into your project.
| | 02:49 | Now, in an effort to keep things
as simple as possible, these other
| | 02:53 | options aren't visible by default, but
if you are pretty comfortable editing in iMovie,
| | 02:57 | you'd probably want to turn them on
so you have all the available tools
| | 03:00 | at your disposal.
| | 03:01 | To do so, go to iMovie > Preferences,
just move this out of the way so you can
| | 03:06 | see what happens. Under the General
category check Show Advanced Tools and
| | 03:11 | right away you can see that this add
some additional items to the toolbar, but
| | 03:15 | what I want to show you here is how
this effects drag and drop editing.
| | 03:18 | Let me close Preferences. So I have got
about 30 seconds of footage of these yellow
| | 03:23 | and green leaves on the mountainside
here. Let select 90 seconds of this
| | 03:28 | mountain footage, just drag
down a little further here.
| | 03:36 | Now when I drag this selection on top
of the clip in my project, I get several
| | 03:42 | more options to choose from. At the
top of the menu I not have only have
| | 03:44 | Replace, but I have Replace from Start,
Replace from End, and Replace at Playhead.
| | 03:49 | Replace from Start and Replace
from End are extremely useful because
| | 03:52 | they let you replace the existing clip
in your project with a new footage while
| | 03:56 | keeping the clip at the same length.
So even though I'm dragging in about 90
| | 04:00 | seconds of footage over a 30 second
clip, if I choose Replace from Start,
| | 04:04 | you can see that the clip in my project
has stayed the exact same length,
| | 04:07 | and if you look down at my Events Browser,
you could see the orange bar here
| | 04:10 | representing the amount of footage
that I'm using, only spans from the
| | 04:13 | beginning of the clip to about this
point even though I had selected a lot
| | 04:16 | more footage than that.
| | 04:17 | So this is especially useful when you're
replacing a clip in the middle of a project,
| | 04:20 | and you don't want to end
up shifting the clips that follow it
| | 04:23 | forwards or backwards. Let's undo that
and select about 90 seconds of footage again.
| | 04:33 | I'll drag that clip to my project
again on top of this other clip and
| | 04:37 | this time I'm going to choose Replace
from End. Again, the overall clip length
| | 04:41 | stays the same, but notice this time
I'm using footage from the end of my
| | 04:45 | selection. So you notice the orange
bar here shows me that I'm using
| | 04:47 | footage from the end of my selection.
| | 04:49 | So in situations where you want to
make sure your clips ends at a specific spot,
| | 04:52 | you want to choose Replace
from End and iMovie will automatically
| | 04:55 | calculate the amount of footage it
needs to grab to keep the clip to same
| | 04:58 | length as the original, but to also
make sure that the clip ends exactly where you want.
| | 05:02 | So we'll do that one more time.
| | 05:06 | Now the third option is Replace at
Playhead, which places the start of your
| | 05:09 | selection exactly where the playhead is
when you drop your clip. It also grabs
| | 05:13 | the footage prior to the start of
your selection point to fill in the space
| | 05:16 | leading up to that point. So if I grab
some mountain footage again-- and notice
| | 05:20 | here where the start of my selection is.
I'm going to click and drag that up on
| | 05:23 | top of the clip to right about there,
you can see where the playhead is on the
| | 05:29 | clip right there and I'm going
to choose Replace at Playhead.
| | 05:32 | Notice that iMovie grabs the stuff
before my selection to fill in the space so
| | 05:37 | that my selection would still start
exactly where I wanted it to, but it had to
| | 05:40 | grab the stuff before then to fill in
the point before the playhead. Now there
| | 05:45 | are several more options available when
you have iMovie's Advanced Tools turned on.
| | 05:48 | I'll be going over some more of
them in the later movies, but I do want to
| | 05:51 | show you one more while we are here.
Let's drag this river footage into our project
| | 05:56 | and let's select about say 5
seconds of these yellow leaves blowing in
| | 06:05 | the wind and I'll drag that
on top of my river footage.
| | 06:12 | Now you have already seen the Insert
option, which basically cuts away from one
| | 06:15 | clip to another and when that footage
has played in its entirely, we cut back
| | 06:18 | to the first clip at the point where
we left off. With Advanced Tools turned on,
| | 06:22 | we also have the Cutaway option
available. This is kind of similar to
| | 06:25 | Insert, but this option lets you cut to
a second clip while the audio from the
| | 06:28 | first clip keeps playing in the background.
So I'm going to choose Cutaway and
| | 06:33 | you can see what that looks like there,
and let me go ahead and play that for you.
| | 06:37 | (Sound of water rushing.)
| | 06:47 | So instead of chopping up the
river footage it continues to play in
| | 06:50 | real-time while we cutaway to other
footage, and when that other footage is over,
| | 06:54 | we cut back to the river footage.
| | 06:56 | Cutaways can be useful if you are
shooting say an interview with someone who is
| | 06:59 | maybe reminiscing about his hometown,
and while he is talking you could use
| | 07:02 | the Cutaway option to show shots of his
hometown while continuing to listen to him speak.
| | 07:06 | Cutaways can make things
much more visually interesting.
| | 07:11 | Okay, so this is some of the new drag
and drop options available to you in
| | 07:14 | iMovie '09. We'll look at some of the
other options in a little bit, but for
| | 07:18 | now just be aware that you have to
turn on Advanced Tools in Preferences in
| | 07:21 | order to see all of these options.

| Working with the Precision Editor| 00:00 | iMovie '09 features a Precision Editor
that gives you the power to perfect your
| | 00:04 | edits with a level of detail never
before seen in any previous version of iMovie.
| | 00:08 | In this project I have two shots of
my friend, Tristan, doing some rock climbing.
| | 00:11 | In the first shot the camera
is on the ground shooting up at him and
| | 00:15 | in the second shot the camera is up
above him on the wall. So what I would like
| | 00:19 | to do is edit the two shots together to
make it look like one continuous movie.
| | 00:23 | Now I like the part in the second shot
here, where he reaches up for this final
| | 00:26 | handhold, right about there, and just
pulls himself up and walks out of the shot.
| | 00:30 | So let's grab that section.
| | 00:36 | Got him reaching for the handhold,
just select there and select just about
| | 00:41 | to the end where he walks out of
the shot and let's drag that into the project.
| | 00:46 | And now let's find the part of the clip
to place in front of that from the first clip.
| | 00:51 | So let's skim over the clip.
Here is where he reaches for the rock.
| | 00:58 | Right about there and I'll just
click and drag backwards and maybe grab
| | 01:03 | about 5 or 6 seconds.
| | 01:07 | I am going to drag that clip in front
of the first clip I dragged up. Okay,
| | 01:14 | so this is what our edit looks like so
far. Let me hit the spacebar and play
| | 01:16 | a little of this for you.
| | 01:24 | So it's okay,
but it's really not that great.
| | 01:28 | At the end of the first clip, you
can clearly see he has grabbed the rock there,
| | 01:31 | but when it cuts to the second,
he hasn't quite reached the handhold there.
| | 01:36 | It doesn't really
work as an edit, like so.
| | 01:42 | Fortunately finessing this sort of
cut is really easy to do in iMovie '09.
| | 01:47 | So I'm going to select the second clip
here and then click its pop-up menu and
| | 01:51 | select Precision Editor. And now the
bottom half of my iMovie window is taken
| | 01:56 | over by the Precision Editor pane.
| | 01:57 | So what we are seeing here is the first
clip on top and the second clip on the bottom
| | 02:03 | and the point where the edit occurs
is right here in the middle, also
| | 02:06 | known as the cut point. The portions of
the clip that are grayed out, over here
| | 02:10 | and down here when my mouse hasn't
rolled over them, these portions represent
| | 02:13 | the footage that you are not
currently seeing in your movie.
| | 02:16 | So looking at this we can see that the
clip starts with this low angle shot,
| | 02:21 | and right at the cut point it switches
to the shot from above. Now here in
| | 02:24 | the Precision Editor you can navigate from
edit-to-edit using the Previous and Next buttons.
| | 02:28 | For example, if I click the Previous
button here, that shows me the point
| | 02:32 | in the first clip where I made my
initial selection. So remember I didn't
| | 02:35 | select all of the first clip. I just
selected a portion of it. So that part is
| | 02:39 | currently grayed out.
| | 02:39 | But right now I'm concerned with
fixing the edit between the two clips in my project.
| | 02:43 | So I'll click the Next Edit
button to jump back to that edit point.
| | 02:48 | So you can see it's very easy to navigate from
edit point to edit point in the Precision Editor.
| | 02:51 | All right, so let's see if we can make
this a smoother looking cut. I'm going
| | 02:55 | to skim my mouse over the first clip
until I see the exact point where I want
| | 02:58 | to make my cut. So I think what I
really want to do is right before his hand
| | 03:05 | actually touches the handhold there,
that's exactly where I want the cut to
| | 03:08 | appear so I'm going to click at
this point. And you can see the cut
| | 03:11 | immediately shifts over to make that
the new cut point in the first clip.
| | 03:15 | Now let's find the corresponding action
in the second clip. So again I'm going
| | 03:18 | to skim my mouse over that second clip,
and just place it right at the point,
| | 03:24 | right when his hand is about to make
the grab, right about there. Click.
| | 03:32 | Now that wasn't much of a shift in the edit
there, but you can see that's sort of the point.
| | 03:36 | The Precision Editor lets me
be very precise about my edits.
| | 03:39 | And now we can preview our cut using
the Play button. The Play button will play
| | 03:43 | a few seconds from before
and after your edit.
| | 03:50 | So that looks a lot better to me.
Let me show you that one more time.
| | 03:56 | And now that the two clips are synced up,
if I want to further adjust the cut point,
| | 03:59 | I can drag the cut point
itself to the left or to the right.
| | 04:03 | For example, maybe I want the cut to
happen just a little bit earlier. So I'll just
| | 04:06 | drag the cut-point to the left. So you
can see now the first cut point occurs
| | 04:12 | right where his hand is still on that
other handhold before he lets go.
| | 04:15 | But let's see what this looks like.
| | 04:22 | And there it is.
| | 04:25 | So you can see how easy it is to finesse
these edits with the Precision Editor.
| | 04:29 | And it's not just limited to determining
exactly how much of the shot you want to keep.
| | 04:32 | You can also use the Precision
Editor to precisely position and adjust
| | 04:36 | the duration of titles by clicking
the Show/Hide Extras button here.
| | 04:41 | Which if I had any titles, you would
see those on those tracks right now.
| | 04:44 | Let me turn that off.
| | 04:46 | And you can also use the Precision
Editor to fine-tune audio clips.
| | 04:49 | Now for example, the first clip in this movie
really doesn't have much audio in it at all.
| | 04:53 | Let me just play this a little bit.
You don't really hear anything here.
| | 05:02 | Let me actually show you the cut here.
| | 05:08 | So you can see when it switches to the
second shot, you suddenly hear all the
| | 05:11 | ambient noise from the climbing gym.
| | 05:18 | This drastic change in the audio sort of
| | 05:20 | brings unwanted attention to that cut
point. So let's click the Audio button.
| | 05:24 | This reveals the audio tracks for both clips.
| | 05:27 | As with the video clips, the darker
portions of the audio tracks are the parts
| | 05:30 | of the tracks that aren't currently in
the movie. So another cool thing about
| | 05:33 | the Precision Editor is that you can
adjust audio cut-points independently of
| | 05:37 | the video tracks. So if I wanted to
use all of the audio from the second clip
| | 05:41 | and none from the first, all I have
to do is place my cursor right at that
| | 05:44 | cut-point and drag to the left. And
I only really need to drag it right to
| | 05:52 | where the first clips starts, but just
overlap a little bit there. Now let's
| | 05:55 | play that and see what that sounds like.
| | 06:05 | So now I have all the second clip's
audio playing seamlessly under both clips.
| | 06:08 | When you are done in the Precision
Editor, just click Done. And you can now
| | 06:13 | continue assembling your movie.
| | 06:15 | As you can see, the Precision Editor
makes it incredibly easy to fine-tune
| | 06:18 | the cuts in your iMovie projects.

| Building dynamic themes| 00:00 | iMovie '09 comes with a set of five
Apple Design Themes, which consist of title
| | 00:04 | and transition effects that have a
unified look and feel and can give your
| | 00:07 | movie a sleek professional
appearance with very low effort on your part.
| | 00:11 | iMovie Themes are a quick way to add a
sense of fun and style to your movies
| | 00:14 | without having to spend a lot of time
adding titles and transitions yourself.
| | 00:18 | You can apply themes to both new projects
as well as projects you're already working on.
| | 00:22 | Now take a look at how to use a
theme from scratch on a new project.
| | 00:26 | I'll choose File > New Project and let's
title this project, Southern Utah because
| | 00:33 | we'll be using footage that we
shot in Southern Utah. Aspect Ratio is
| | 00:37 | Widescreen so we'll leave it at that
and these are the built-in themes.
| | 00:41 | The default is None which means iMovie
won't add any titles or transitions for you.
| | 00:46 | But the other five items here are
each professionally designed and animated
| | 00:49 | themes that you can choose from to
apply to your project. Skimming your mouse
| | 00:52 | over a theme gives you a preview of what
the titles and transitions in that theme look like.
| | 00:56 | Let's go with Photo Album for this
example. Although, keep in mind that you can
| | 01:05 | change the theme at any time while
you are editing your project together.
| | 01:07 | Notice that Automatically add
transitions and titles is checked by default.
| | 01:13 | This means iMovie will insert titles
and transitions for you in the style or
| | 01:17 | the theme you have chosen throughout
your video. But don't worry, iMovie
| | 01:19 | doesn't overdo it by putting
transitions in it every single cut point and
| | 01:23 | you are also free to delete and add your
own titles and transitions where you want
| | 01:26 | in your project.
| | 01:27 | For the most part, iMovie adds
simple Cross Dissolve transitions and
| | 01:30 | occasionally if there are any theme-
based transitions. But we'll see that in a
| | 01:33 | moment. Once you have made your
selections here, click Create to create a new
| | 01:37 | project with that theme. So right now
this looks like any other new project
| | 01:42 | window. You have your empty project
area at the top of the window and your
| | 01:45 | Event Library here at the bottom where
you can select clips and drag into your project.
| | 01:48 | So let's start with this shot of Bryce
Canyon. I'm going to grab about 6 or 7
| | 01:53 | seconds of that and I'll
drag that up into my project.
| | 01:58 | Now because we are using a theme and we
have chosen to let iMovie automatically
| | 02:01 | add titles and transitions you can see
that we now have an opening transition
| | 02:05 | that looks like the cover of a photo
album, which is the theme we chose.
| | 02:11 | Let me play that one for you.
| | 02:20 | So not only do we see this clip playing
on the cover of this book, but there is
| | 02:23 | also this nice zoom in effect going on.
Each theme has its own opening and
| | 02:27 | closing style that iMovie will apply
to the first and last clips of your project.
| | 02:31 | So let's grab some more clips.
So maybe after that opening clip
| | 02:35 | we'll start with this footage that we shot
from a moving car. Just grab that. Drag it in.
| | 02:41 | Now notice that iMovie has added this
Directed By Myself end credit. It's doing
| | 02:46 | that because currently this is the
last clip of my movie. But I'm going to
| | 02:50 | continue adding clips and iMovie will
continue to automatically adjust the
| | 02:53 | titles and transitions. So let's add
a couple of more clips here. I'm just
| | 02:57 | going to grab a couple of
seconds of each one of these.
| | 03:02 | Okay so there are the clips I
want to use. Let's see what we have.
| | 03:05 | Let's go back to the beginning
and we'll just play through.
| | 03:23 | Okay, so what we just saw there
| | 03:24 | was one of the theme style
transitions. In this case, it looked like we
| | 03:28 | are pulling back from the Photo Album
where we could see the other shots from
| | 03:31 | the movie and then zooming back in
on the next clip. Pretty cool!
| | 03:34 | Let's continue playing.
| | 03:48 | Okay so there we saw two basic Cross
Dissolve transitions in a row. Nothing fancy
| | 03:52 | but cross dissolves are a nice
way to smoothly transition from one shot
| | 03:55 | to another and again it's nice that
iMovie doesn't go overboard by placing the
| | 03:58 | photo album transition between every
single shot. It would lessen the effect of
| | 04:01 | that transition if we use it every time.
So for the most part iMovie's going to
| | 04:05 | use cross dissolves when it does
decide if there are transitions in there.
| | 04:08 | Let's keep playing.
| | 04:09 | Here comes anther Theme-based
transition and another Cross Dissolve.
| | 04:24 | Let's jump ahead to the end here.
| | 04:32 | At the end we finally
have that end credit.
| | 04:35 | So right there we have a movie with professional
looking titles and transitions and all
| | 04:38 | I had to do is just drag clips into my project.
| | 04:41 | Now as I mentioned earlier, you are
not stuck with iMovie's choices on where
| | 04:44 | transitions and titles appear or which
transition effects or titles it uses.
| | 04:48 | For example, this end credit here
kind of covers up the setting sun in my shot.
| | 04:52 | The sun is setting right behind
the title here. So it will be nice to not
| | 04:57 | obscure that with the end credit.
| | 04:59 | To change the title I'm going to click
the Titles button. Here at the top of
| | 05:04 | Titles, above this little separation
line you see, we see the theme specific
| | 05:09 | titles for this theme. Again, placing
your mouse over the titles gives you a
| | 05:13 | preview of them.
| | 05:21 | This one here looks like it will
allow my entire shot to be unobscured.
| | 05:25 | So let's drag that over
my end clip. We see it highlight.
| | 05:29 | I release my mouse.
| | 05:30 | Now when you make the decision to
customize the title and transitions, you have
| | 05:34 | to turn off iMovie's automatic
insertion of theme elements. But that's fine
| | 05:38 | since I have my movie pretty much
laid out the way I want at this point.
| | 05:40 | So I'm going to Turn Off Automatic Transitions.
Now let's see what that new title looks like.
| | 05:53 | Cool! So now we can see my entire shot.
| | 05:57 | There is a nice fade to black at the end.
| | 05:59 | Now you probably noticed that part of
the themes transitions include brief
| | 06:02 | glimpses of still images from other
footage in your project. For example,
| | 06:07 | this one and this one. You can tell a theme
transition by its icon as we see right here.
| | 06:19 | So each iMovie theme has variation on
this sort of transition. So there might
| | 06:22 | be times when you find that one of
the still images is not ideal to your
| | 06:25 | project. Maybe one of them shows
someone with his eyes closed or as a blurry
| | 06:29 | part of a video. You can change what
you see in those still frames of the
| | 06:32 | transitions by selecting the transition,
like so. That makes these numbers up
| | 06:39 | here showing you exactly where those
still frames are being pulled from. Along
| | 06:42 | with the screenshot of the transition
with corresponding numbers in the Preview
| | 06:45 | pane over here on the right.
| | 06:47 | To change the image in a still frame
just grab its number and drag it to the
| | 06:51 | right or to the left. You can even
drag the numbers to other clips in your
| | 06:55 | project. So maybe I want the shot of
the flowers there and instead of the rock.
| | 07:00 | So drag number 4 down to here,
like so. I'll click off to deselect that
| | 07:07 | transition and now we can
see what that looks like.
| | 07:13 | Cool! And again, each theme has transitions
like this. So it's good to know how to
| | 07:17 | change a still frame if necessary.
Speaking of the other themes, I mentioned
| | 07:21 | before that you can change the theme at
any time. So to do so, either click the
| | 07:25 | Titles button or the Transitions
button and then click Set Theme.
| | 07:28 | That gives you the Theme Chooser
again where you can pick another theme and
| | 07:34 | incidentally this is also how you add a
theme to any project where you weren't
| | 07:37 | using themes to begin with. Go to
either the Titles button or the Transitions
| | 07:41 | button and click Set Theme.
| | 07:42 | Now if you check Automatically add
transitions and titles to an existing
| | 07:46 | project, like I'm doing here, you have
to answer the question of how you want
| | 07:49 | iMovie to handle the transitions it as.
Overlap ends and shorten clip means
| | 07:54 | that cross dissolves will overlap the
end of one clip with the beginning of the
| | 07:57 | next clip which makes
your video slightly shorter.
| | 08:00 | If you choose Extend ends and maintain
duration, iMovie will grab the couple of
| | 08:04 | seconds of footage you edited out of
your clips to make the cross dissolve if
| | 08:08 | that footage is available. Once you
have made your selections, click OK.
| | 08:15 | So notice that all of my titles and
transitions are exactly where they were
| | 08:18 | before, only they have a different
theme now. If I go back to the beginning,
| | 08:22 | I no longer see a Photo Album,
I see the Scrapbook Theme.
| | 08:35 | Here comes one of the theme transitions, again
in the Scrapbook theme, and we still have our basic
| | 08:43 | Cross Dissolves here.
| | 08:46 | So it's easy to change themes at any
point in the process and you can do it as
| | 08:49 | many times as you like, and that's how
we work with the new themes in iMovie '09.

| Creating animated travel maps| 00:00 | iMovie '09 comes with a brand new
feature called Travel Maps, which lets you
| | 00:04 | illustrate where your movie takes place,
or where you travel to, using stylized
| | 00:08 | and animated globes or maps.
| | 00:10 | It's probably not something you will
use all the time, but it's an absolutely
| | 00:12 | stunning effect to throw into your
travel videos. You can add Travel Maps to
| | 00:16 | any point in your projects and at
anytime. I'm just using a new blank project
| | 00:20 | here so I can demo these for you.
| | 00:22 | To add a travel map to your project,
click the Maps & Backgrounds button.
| | 00:26 | There are three types of maps available
and they are divided into these three rows.
| | 00:31 | In the first row, you will find the
Globes, which let you place a 3D globe in
| | 00:35 | your movie, showing either a single
location or an animated travel-line from
| | 00:38 | one place to another.
| | 00:40 | In the second row, you have your Flat
Maps, but you can also use to zoom-in on
| | 00:43 | a single location, or show an animated
travel-line. And the third row contains
| | 00:47 | Still Maps, which can be used when you
don't need to show a specific location,
| | 00:51 | but instead you want to use the
graphic of a map in your video.
| | 00:54 | You can crop and apply the Ken Burns
effect to the Still Maps to add some
| | 00:57 | animation to them, and each of these
three types of maps have four style
| | 00:59 | variations, Old World, Water Color,
Educational, and Blue Marble. Pick the one
| | 01:05 | you like best, you can
change your mind at anytime.
| | 01:07 | All right, let's see how this works.
I'm going to grab the Blue Marble Globe
| | 01:10 | and drag that into my project. iMovie
takes a moment to generate the globe, and
| | 01:15 | now I can customize it by using the
Inspector. If you accidentally close the
| | 01:19 | Inspector, you can always bring it
back up by double-clicking the clip.
| | 01:22 | So in here we can change the duration
of the clip and apply video effects to it.
| | 01:26 | But the cool stuff is adding start
locations and end locations. By default,
| | 01:30 | we have San Francisco as our start
location, but when you click it,
| | 01:33 | this will ask you to search for other
locations all around the globe.
| | 01:37 | In the Search field at the top, type in
the city or location you want to focus on.
| | 01:41 | iMovie contains over 4000 cities,
airports, and points of interest all
| | 01:45 | around the world.
| | 01:47 | Let's go with Melbourne. So it's
narrowed it down to three locations in
| | 01:50 | Melbourne, Australia, just the general
city of Melbourne, and MLB, Melbourne
| | 01:54 | International, and Melbourne U.S.A.
Let's say I flew out of Melbourne
| | 01:58 | International, I would select that,
and click OK. There it is on my globe.
| | 02:05 | Now, if you want to display on the map
to say something different, go back to
| | 02:08 | the Inspector, click your start
location, and in the field where it says Name
| | 02:12 | to display on map, just click and type
your preferred label. It doesn't have to
| | 02:18 | be the name of the city, it could be
something like home, or Day 1 whatever you
| | 02:21 | want the label to be.
| | 02:23 | Now, if you just leave the starting
point on your globe, that's what the clip
| | 02:25 | will focus on. Let me play this
back for you by hitting my spacebar.
| | 02:34 | So you can see the globe rotates to show
Melbourne right in center, and then the dot
| | 02:37 | above it just sort of blinks.
| | 02:43 | But the real fun starts when you
add an end-point to your map.
| | 02:47 | Let me double-click to bring up the
Inspector again. Choose End Location. Let's type
| | 02:51 | in Los Angeles, and we'll just say
Los Angeles, California, select OK.
| | 02:57 | Let's say that I actually started in LA and
then went to Melbourne. So I'm going to
| | 03:02 | click the Switch button here to change
my direction, and we'll see what that looks like now.
| | 03:11 | How cool is that! Now, we
have this animated travel-line
| | 03:14 | showing the path of my travels.
| | 03:14 | There is an added bonus if you notice
at the bottom of the inspector, iMovie
| | 03:18 | actually displays the distance
traveled between the two points. Now,
| | 03:22 | what if you had multiple destinations in
your trip? Well, just drag-in another map.
| | 03:27 | You can drag-in any map you like, but the
effect is going to look seamless if you
| | 03:30 | keep the same map.
| | 03:31 | So I'm going to drag-in Blue Marble
globe again. With this clip selected,
| | 03:36 | notice that it already has Melbourne
as the start location, because that was
| | 03:39 | the end location of my first clip, and
now I can choose another end location.
| | 03:44 | Let's go with Tokyo, and I should
mention here that, you can only add locations
| | 03:49 | that iMovie knows. You can't type-in
your own locations or GPS co-ordinates or
| | 03:53 | anything like that. But chances are, if
you are traveling around the world,
| | 03:56 | you are using airports, and chances are
the airport you are traveling to or from
| | 04:00 | will be an iMovie. We'll choose Tokyo,
click OK, and let's see what that looks
| | 04:06 | like with the two Travel Maps
playing together.
| | 04:17 | There it is.
| | 04:18 | Now, if you do want to change your
Map Style, all you have to do is drag it
| | 04:21 | over your existing map clip. So if I
wanted to change to the Old World Globe,
| | 04:26 | I could choose that. iMovie will actually
remember which cities you are using in
| | 04:31 | that clip, so you don't have to enter
that information again. All it's changing
| | 04:34 | here is the animation.
| | 04:42 | Now, the Flat Maps pretty much work the
same way, just choose a style and drag
| | 04:45 | it into your project. Again, you can
pick a single start location, or start and
| | 04:51 | an end location to add an animated
travel-line. So maybe if I want to focus in
| | 04:55 | on Tokyo here, I can just leave Tokyo
as my start location without adding an
| | 04:58 | end location, and we'll
see what that looks like.
| | 05:05 | You can see it just zooms-in on Tokyo,
and again we get that little blip above
| | 05:08 | Tokyo. And because these are just
clips in my project, I can still add
| | 05:11 | transitions between the cut from one
map to another, so the cut isn't so
| | 05:15 | sudden. So I could switch over to my
transitions here, maybe just grab a Cross Dissolve,
| | 05:19 | drag that between the two, and we'll see
this. So that just softens that transition.
| | 05:27 | Finally, as I mentioned before, the
Still Maps are useful when you don't have a
| | 05:33 | particular location in mind, and just
want to display a map of the world in
| | 05:36 | your project. I'll just
drag one in to show you.
| | 05:44 | And I'll play it.
| | 05:48 | So you can see, there's just a very slight
zoom-out on the map there. But you can
| | 05:52 | double-click the map's Crop button to
adjust its cropping or to customize the
| | 05:58 | Ken Burns effect.
| | 05:59 | So for example, maybe I want to end up
focusing on the European continent at
| | 06:05 | the end of this animation. So I'm
just going to reduce the size of the end
| | 06:08 | rectangle. Let me just drag it over
Europe in general there and grab the start
| | 06:15 | rectangle and zoom all the way out,
click Done, and then we have something like this.
| | 06:28 | Double-clicking the Still Map doesn't
allow you to select a city, so again if
| | 06:31 | you do want to animate a city on your
map, you have to use either the Globe or
| | 06:35 | the Flat Map.
| | 06:37 | So those are the new Travel Maps in
iMovie '09. Again, not something
| | 06:40 | you'll use in every single project, but
they are a fantastic research to have when
| | 06:44 | you are putting together videos of your travels.
| | Collapse this transcript |
| Reviewing video stabilization| 00:00 | Probably one of the coolest and most
useful new features of iMovie '09 is the
| | 00:04 | built-in video stabilization. I think
we have all been in editing situations
| | 00:07 | where we want to use a specific clip in
our movie, but the footage is just too
| | 00:11 | shaky from being shot on a hand-held
camera or out of a car window or for any
| | 00:15 | number of reasons. iMovie stabilization
capability can make previously unusable
| | 00:20 | footage usable, and it's really easy to use.
| | 00:22 | I have this footage here of this guy
being followed up a boulder by the camera,
| | 00:26 | and it's pretty shaky. Let's take a look here.
| | 00:44 | Okay. So because the camera was being
held by hand, it's pretty shaky.
| | 00:46 | Let me go ahead and add that to my project.
Let's drag that up. Now I'm going to go to
| | 00:53 | the Clip's pop-up menu and choose
Clip Adjustments, and I'm going to check
| | 00:58 | Smooth Clip Motion.
| | 01:01 | Now iMovie is analyzing the entire clip,
checking out frame by frame, trying to
| | 01:05 | match the objects in one frame with
the objects in the frames around it.
| | 01:10 | The thing about clip stabilization is that
it can take a long time. The longer your clip,
| | 01:13 | the longer it's going to take.
| | 01:14 | Now, this clip is just a few seconds
long, but if you are stabilizing a clip
| | 01:17 | that's a few minutes long, you can go
grab a cup of coffee or find something
| | 01:20 | else to do while you are waiting for
iMovie to finish analyzing the clip.
| | 01:23 | All right. So now that iMovie is done
processing the clip, let's take a look at it.
| | 01:48 | So I think you can see a definite
improvement in the motion of the clip,
| | 01:51 | especially towards the tail end of the
clip here, where it almost looks like
| | 01:56 | the camera is on a crane.
It's moving very smoothly.
| | 02:02 | Ultimately though, it's up to you to
be the judge of whether the clip is
| | 02:05 | improved enough after stabilization is
applied. In some cases you might think
| | 02:08 | that the camera motion looks
unnaturally smooth. If so, you can go back to the
| | 02:12 | Clip's pop-up menu and open the
Inspector and drag the Maximum Zoom slider to
| | 02:16 | the left to bring back some
of the original shakiness.
| | 02:20 | So maybe I'll drag that to about 126%
there and let's see how that looks.
| | 02:27 | So that adds a little bit more of the
shakiness back to it and gives it a more
| | 02:30 | natural feel.
| | 02:31 | Incidentally, this is called the
Maximum Zoom slider because that's how
| | 02:35 | stabilization is applied. iMovie
zooms in on the clip and moves the frames
| | 02:39 | around on screen to try to match the
objects on the screen up with the objects
| | 02:42 | in the surrounding frames.
| | 02:44 | Now, zooming all the way in like this
might add a small amount of blurriness or
| | 02:48 | end up cropping your shot a little too
much, or as I mentioned, introduce an
| | 02:51 | unnatural feeling to the clip. So make
your adjustments using the Maximum Zoom
| | 02:55 | slider on a clip-by-clip basis.
| | 02:59 | Now, as I have already mentioned,
applying stabilization to even short clips
| | 03:02 | can take a significant amount of time
for iMovie to process, but there is no
| | 03:05 | way around that. If you want to
stabilize your videos, you have to give iMovie
| | 03:09 | the time to process each clip. But you
do have the choice of whether you want
| | 03:12 | to process the clips while you are
editing them together, or you can also do it
| | 03:16 | when you first import the clips from
your camera. I'm going to show you what I mean.
| | 03:19 | I have my camcorder connected to my Mac,
so let's turn that on and import some footage.
| | 03:23 | I'll click the Open Camera button.
So here among the clips on my camera
| | 03:28 | I have got a couple of takes
of myself walking outside my office,
| | 03:31 | listening to my voicemail. Yeah,
exciting, isn't it? But these are hand-held shots,
| | 03:35 | so I know they have the kind
of shakiness associated with hand-held footage.
| | 03:39 | Let's go ahead and import those. So
I'm going to grab these three here and
| | 03:45 | then click Import Checked. Just create
a new Event here. Let's call it Walking
| | 03:51 | and Talking.
| | 03:53 | Here I'm going to check Analyze for
stabilization after import. Notice that I'm
| | 03:57 | being told here that this will analyze
the clips for stabilization, but will
| | 04:00 | resolve in longer import times.
I'm fine with that. I'll click Import.
| | 04:06 | So first, iMovie has to import my clips,
and for the sake of this tutorial,
| | 04:10 | I'll just speed this up a little bit.
All right. So now that the clips have
| | 04:15 | been imported, iMovie is now analyzing
them for stabilization. I prefer this
| | 04:19 | method myself, because I can connect
my camera to my Mac, set up iMovie to
| | 04:23 | import my clips and analyze for
stabilization, and then go do something else.
| | 04:27 | It still takes the same amount of time
to analyze each clip as it would if
| | 04:30 | you applied stabilization to them after
adding them to your project, but doing it
| | 04:33 | this way gets them all analyzed at once,
so you don't have to wait around for
| | 04:36 | iMovie to process clips while you
are trying to edit your movie together.
| | 04:40 | I would highly suggest analyzing
everything during import, especially if you
| | 04:43 | have say an hour or more of footage to import.
You could just let iMovie import and
| | 04:47 | analyze your footage overnight or
while you are at your day job, during the day,
| | 04:51 | and then when you come back to
your Mac, all the clips will be analyzed
| | 04:54 | and you will be ready to edit
without any further interruption.
| | 04:57 | Again, even for these clips, which are
22 seconds, 16 seconds, and 11 seconds long,
| | 05:01 | this is still going to take a
while. So again, for the sake of this
| | 05:03 | tutorial, we'll just speed this process up.
| | 05:05 | Okay. So the import and analyzation is
now complete. I'll click OK and Done to
| | 05:10 | close my Camera window here. All right.
So here are the clips that I have just imported.
| | 05:15 | Now, notice that some of them have
these red squiggly lines. These indicate
| | 05:19 | that iMovie thinks that these portions
of the clips are just probably too shaky
| | 05:23 | to use. So we see one there, we see one
there, and if I play it back, you will
| | 05:27 | see those portions are pretty shaky.
| | 05:32 | We also see them in the previous
clip that I imported up here too.
| | 05:37 | I don't know if you can see there, but during that
portion the movie just gets a little bit too blurry.
| | 05:45 | But these red squiggly lines in my
event here also indicate to me that
| | 05:48 | the clips are already analyzed for
stabilization, because those squiggly lines
| | 05:51 | wouldn't appear otherwise.
| | 05:52 | Now, an important thing to keep in
mind here is that even though these clips
| | 05:55 | have been analyzed, stabilization
won't actually be applied to them until you
| | 05:59 | add them to your project. So don't be
worried that the clips still look shaky
| | 06:02 | when you are previewing them in your browser.
| | 06:04 | Let me play this one for you.
| | 06:21 | See that still looks pretty shaky,
| | 06:23 | but let's add it to our project now.
| | 06:30 | Let's look at its pop-up and go to Clip
Adjustments. Notice that stabilization
| | 06:34 | has already been applied to this clip.
Smooth Clip Motion is already checked.
| | 06:38 | I don't have to do any additional
processing or waiting or analyzation. Now when
| | 06:42 | I play this clip back, I can see
the effects of the stabilization.
| | 07:00 | So that's a significantly smoother
camera shot there. Just like before, I still
| | 07:04 | have the ability to reduce the amount
of stabilization if I think its zoomed in
| | 07:07 | too much or a little too smooth, or I
could just uncheck Smooth Clip Motion to
| | 07:12 | remove stabilization entirely if need be.
| | 07:17 | So again, it's up to you to decide
when you want to analyze your clips for
| | 07:20 | stabilization. You can do it on a clip-
by-clip basis or analyze everything at
| | 07:24 | once when you import your
footage from your camera.
| | 07:25 | Now, I should have mentioned that the
option to analyze your footage is only
| | 07:29 | available if you are importing your
footage from a camera. If you choose File >
| | 07:34 | Import > Movies, and then go to import
some movies from somewhere in your hard
| | 07:38 | drive, notice that there is no option
here to analyze for stabilization after import.
| | 07:44 | But that doesn't mean you can't analyze
imported footage beforehand. To analyze
| | 07:48 | footage you have already imported, go
to the Event containing the footage, and
| | 07:53 | then select the clips you want to
stabilize or just say Command+A to select all
| | 07:58 | of your clips, and then click any
clip's pop-up, choose Clip Adjustments, and
| | 08:04 | choose Analyze Entire Clip. You can see
here that iMovie is actually analyzing
| | 08:08 | Clip 1 of 8, so it's going to
analyze all of the clips for me.
| | 08:11 | Again, this may take a while, so just
let iMovie do its thing while you find
| | 08:14 | something else to do in the meantime.
So that's the new video stabilization
| | 08:18 | feature, probably one of the
coolest new features in iMovie '09.
| | Collapse this transcript |
| Understanding the new video effects| 00:00 | iMovie '09 comes with a set of nearly
20 built-in video effects to give you an
| | 00:04 | incredible variety of ways to stylize
your videos. Let's take a look at how to apply them.
| | 00:08 | I have an empty new project here and
I'm in my Aspen footage and let's just
| | 00:13 | grab a couple of seconds of this
mountain footage here. I'll grab like 20
| | 00:18 | seconds of it and I'll
drag that into my project.
| | 00:21 | Video effects can only be applied to
clips in your project, not in your Event Browser.
| | 00:25 | So to add effects to this clip,
I'll click its popup menu and choose
| | 00:31 | Clip Adjustments and then click the
menu next to Video Effect. This reveals
| | 00:38 | the Preview palette containing
thumbnails representing all the types of effects
| | 00:41 | you can apply. The most amazing thing
about this is that you can preview every
| | 00:45 | single effect here in real time.
There is no waiting for processing or
| | 00:49 | rendering. All you do is just roll your
mouse over each effect and you will see
| | 00:52 | its effect on the clip over in the
Preview pane. And not only that, but you can
| | 00:57 | also see the effect in
action while the clip is playing.
| | 01:00 | Just hit your spacebar and the
selected clip will play in a continuous loop
| | 01:03 | while you browse through the effects.
So rolling your mouse over these effects
| | 01:07 | gives you an instant preview of what
it looks like. So we have Flipped,
| | 01:12 | which is useful if you need a mirror image
of your shot. Raster, makes it kind of look
| | 01:18 | like it's on a TV screen. Cartoon.
Day into Night. I kind of like that effect.
| | 01:25 | Hard Light. Film Grain. Aged Film,
add some scratches and lines to the film.
| | 01:31 | Glow. Dream. Romantic, which adds sort
of that soft focus around the edges there.
| | 01:38 | Vignette, darkens the edges.
Sci-Fi gives you some crazy colors.
| | 01:45 | Heat Wave, Old World, Bleach Bypass,
Black & White, Sepia, Negative, X-Ray.
| | 01:51 | Obviously that's not a real X-ray,
but that's just the appearance of the effect.
| | 01:58 | So once you have decided on an effect,
just select it and it's instantly
| | 02:02 | applied to that entire clip. Now,
you don't see the effect previewed in
| | 02:06 | the filmstrip over here, but
you do see it in the Preview pane.
| | 02:13 | You are not limited to applying
effects one clip at a time. You can select
| | 02:16 | multiple clips or even all the clips
in your project and instantly apply an
| | 02:20 | effect to all of them at once.
| | 02:22 | So I just grab a couple of more clips
here. I'm just hitting Command+A here
| | 02:28 | to select the clips in their
entirety, drag them into my project.
| | 02:39 | Then in my Project pane here, I'll hit
Command+A again to select all my clips.
| | 02:44 | Open up Clip Adjustments and I'll apply
that same Cartoon effect. You can see that
| | 02:54 | the effect has now been applied
to all of my clips instantly.
| | 02:58 | So those are the new video
effects found in iMovie '09.
| | Collapse this transcript |
| Working in fast and slow motion| 00:00 | iMovie '09 now gives you the ability to
speed up, slow down and reverse your movie clips.
| | 00:05 | Now why would you want to do that?
Well, it really depends on the effect
| | 00:08 | you are trying to achieve.
You can use fast motion for comedic or
| | 00:12 | time lapse effects, use slow motion to add
drama to a shot, or to bring attention to details,
| | 00:16 | and you can use the ability
to play clips in reverse for times when
| | 00:20 | you need a zoom in instead of a zoom
out or again, for comedic purposes.
| | 00:24 | The possibilities are really endless.
| | 00:25 | Let's take a look at how to apply these
effects. In my Aspen event, I have this
| | 00:30 | shot where the camera zooms out from
these yellow leaves, but maybe for the
| | 00:35 | purposes of my shot, I need to have
a shot where the camera zooms in but
| | 00:38 | I didn't shoot anything like that.
No problem. I'm going to just make a selection here,
| | 00:44 | and I'll drag that clip into my project.
I'll click at its popup menu and
| | 00:48 | choose Clip Adjustments.
| | 00:50 | Now before you can apply speed
changes to a clip, you might have to click
| | 00:54 | Convert Entire Clip. Now the
details of why you need to do this are bit
| | 00:58 | technical, but basically it boils down
to the fact that clips that aren't saved
| | 01:01 | with frame based compression like
H.264, MPEG 2 and MPEG 4, have to be
| | 01:07 | converted into a format that supports
speed changes before iMovie can change their speed.
| | 01:11 | The nice thing about this is that the
conversion applies to the entire clip,
| | 01:15 | not just the part you drag into the
project. So once you click Convert Entire Clip,
| | 01:19 | you won't have to do it again,
if you use another part from that same clip.
| | 01:23 | Now I see my speed and direction
options and all I have to do is click Reverse.
| | 01:30 | And if I play that back, you see
we have a zoom in instead of a zoom out now.
| | 01:38 | Notice this little rabbit icon that
appears when I move my mouse over the clip.
| | 01:45 | The rabbit is pointing to the left,
indicating that this clip has been
| | 01:48 | reversed. Let's make an adjustment.
I want to slow down that zooming action a bit.
| | 01:52 | So I'll grab the Speed slider,
and slow that down to let's just do 50%.
| | 01:59 | Notice that length in my clip, which
makes sense because now the clip is going
| | 02:02 | to take longer. And again, I can
instantly see the results without having
| | 02:05 | to wait for any processing.
| | 02:11 | So now I have a nice slower zoom happening.
| | 02:14 | Notice the icon of the clip has become
a turtle facing to the left, letting me
| | 02:17 | know that this clip is reversed and
slowed down. Now keep in mind that
| | 02:21 | reversing a clip won't really work if
there are say people walking in your shot,
| | 02:25 | unless you are going for the
effect that people doing things backwards,
| | 02:27 | including walking, in which case it
can often be hilarious, if you find that
| | 02:31 | sort of thing funny like I do.
| | 02:33 | All right, let's take a
look at one more example.
| | 02:38 | Let's grab a minute or two of
this mountain and clouds footage.
| | 02:43 | Let's grab like a minute-and-a-half and
| | 02:45 | I'll drag that into my project. Now
this clip was already slightly sped up when
| | 02:49 | I imported it, but that's really speed
it up some more so we can see those
| | 02:52 | clouds just move across the sky. Again,
I'll click the Clip's popup menu,
| | 02:57 | choose Clip Adjustments, and
again I have to convert this clip,
| | 03:01 | let's go ahead and do that.
| | 03:03 | All right, and let's crank the speed
up of this clip to all the way to 800%,
| | 03:07 | and as you can see that significantly
shortens the clip and let's play that.
| | 03:14 | So now I have this great dramatic time
lapse shot. And again, since this effect
| | 03:22 | is applied in real-time, you can play
with the Speed slider all you want until
| | 03:25 | you get the clip at the speed you want.
| | 03:27 | Notice that the icon in the clip is a
rabbit pointing to the right, indicating
| | 03:31 | this clip is not reversed, but sped up.
So it's always easy to quickly see if
| | 03:35 | the clip has been sped up, slowed down
or reversed, just by moving your mouse
| | 03:38 | over the clip and checking out its icon.
| | 03:40 | I also want to point out that in
addition to the Speed slider, you can also
| | 03:44 | type in a duration in seconds in the
field below the percentage. This can help you
| | 03:49 | to time the length of the clip to music,
or to fit it within in an allotted of time period.
| | 03:53 | So that's how you adjust the
speed and direction of your clips in
| | 03:57 | iMovie '09. You probably won't use
this ability all the time, but it's great
| | 04:01 | to have in your collection of editing tools.
| | Collapse this transcript |
| Showing picture-in-picture| 00:00 | In this video I would like to show you
the new Picture-in-Picture effect that's
| | 00:03 | available in iMovie '09. Picture-in-
Picture allows you to show two clips
| | 00:07 | simultaneously and is perfect for
those times when you want to show someone,
| | 00:10 | say, narrating the action in a scene,
or if you want to show two angles of
| | 00:13 | the same scene at the same time.
| | 00:16 | In order to have the Picture-in-Picture
option available, you need to first go
| | 00:19 | to iMovie > Preferences and under the
General section make sure Show Advanced
| | 00:24 | Tools is checked. So I'm going to be
using the rock climbing footage for this
| | 00:29 | example. Let's grab the first clip in
its entirety by clicking it and pressing
| | 00:33 | Command+A on my keyboard to select it
all and I'll drag that into my project.
| | 00:38 | Now the second clip here is a shot of
the same action, but with the camera
| | 00:42 | shooting down form above. I'm going to
apply Picture-in-Picture so we can see
| | 00:46 | both angles simultaneously on screen.
So let's make a selection starting with
| | 00:50 | the point where the climber reaches
for this last handhold, see right about
| | 00:56 | there, and now let's click and drag to
select all the way through the end. Now
| | 01:00 | I'm going to drag this clip over that
first clip I dragged into my project.
| | 01:04 | Continuing to hold down on my mouse
button, I'm going to skim along that first
| | 01:08 | clip until I find that point in that
first clip where the same action occurs.
| | 01:11 | So right about there where he
makes a grab for that handhold.
| | 01:15 | Now I'm going to release my mouse and
now I can choose Picture-in-Picture.
| | 01:19 | Well, let's play this and see how it looks.
| | 01:30 | So there is the first shot,
and now Picture-in-Picture appears.
| | 01:43 | And there it is. Now if you didn't get the two clips
| | 01:45 | to sync up just right, you can
grab the Picture-in-Picture clip and drag
| | 01:49 | it to the left or right to readjust it.
You can also grab its edges and drag
| | 01:54 | to make the clip shorter or longer if need be.
| | 01:55 | Now as far as the positioning of the
Picture-in-Picture itself, you are free to
| | 01:59 | drag it around any one screen you like.
Just make sure it's selected here in
| | 02:03 | the Project pane, and you can come
over to preview area, and just drag it
| | 02:07 | around anywhere you like. Notice that
when you get close to the edges, you get
| | 02:11 | the alignment guides here to make sure
you have it stay centered, or within the
| | 02:16 | TV Safe area, so you are not dragging
it off screen. And you can increase or
| | 02:20 | decrease the size of the Picture-in-
Picture by dragging its corners. Of course,
| | 02:24 | dragging it so big that it obscures
the other shot, kind of the fits of
| | 02:27 | purpose, so just pick a size that
works for you, but wait there is more.
| | 02:31 | Clicking the Picture-in-Picture's
popup menu and choosing Clip Adjustments
| | 02:36 | brings up a bunch of other options you
can apply. And you could see them right
| | 02:39 | here under PIP or Picture-in-Picture
effect. The Default here is None, but if I
| | 02:44 | want the Picture-in-Picture screen
to fade in or dissolve, I can choose
| | 02:47 | Dissolve. I could also choose Zoom.
We also have the ability to swap images.
| | 02:52 | So if you want the Picture-in-Picture
clip to take over the majority of the
| | 02:55 | screen while the original clip becomes
the Picture-in-Picture, you can choose Swap.
| | 02:59 | Let's go at Zoom and down
below you can use the slider to adjust
| | 03:05 | the length of the effect. So you can
adjust length of the Dissolved Zoom or the
| | 03:10 | Swap, depending on which one you have
selected. We also have the options of
| | 03:12 | adding a Border Width, so you can have
thick, medium or thin. We have a Border Color.
| | 03:20 | Let me just pick a thicker one
here, so you can see what it looks like,
| | 03:24 | so we have got black, gray and white,
kind of like the medium black myself.
| | 03:29 | I can even add a drop shadow by
checking Visible. You can see that it has
| | 03:32 | a slight shadow beneath the Picture-in-Picture.
Click Done and we can see what that looks like.
| | 03:47 | So you can see the Zoom In effect
there. We have a nice border and the drop
| | 03:50 | shadow on our Picture-in-Picture.
| | 03:57 | And it zooms out at the end.
| | 03:59 | So that's the Picture-in-Picture option found
in iMovie '09, perfect for those times when
| | 04:03 | you want to show two clips simultaneously.
| | Collapse this transcript |
| Using the Green Screen effect| 00:00 | One of the more fun new features you
will find in iMovie '09 is its ability to
| | 00:04 | superimpose one clip over another
using a green screen effect. To accomplish
| | 00:08 | this effect, one of your clips has to
include a green background like you see
| | 00:11 | in the clips here in my Event Browser
and then iMovie can automatically remove
| | 00:16 | the green parts of the scene letting
you see through those parts of the footage
| | 00:19 | to the footage from the clip underneath it.
| | 00:20 | So to accomplish this you have to be
shooting in front of a green background
| | 00:24 | and it does have to be green, not blue
or any other color. And the brighter and
| | 00:28 | more saturated the green, the better.
And even though you can buy green screen
| | 00:32 | paints and backdrops there is really no
need to spend a lot of money or to get all fancy.
| | 00:36 | To create this example you are seeing
here, I just went to a local hardware store
| | 00:39 | and bought a can of bright green
non-glossy paint and painted a wall in
| | 00:43 | my office. And in the shots in this
example I'm standing under regular
| | 00:47 | florescent ceiling lights to show you
that iMovie can still do a great job even
| | 00:50 | if the green background isn't the
best or most evenly lit it could be.
| | 00:54 | You just have to make sure your
subject isn't wearing any green and that none
| | 00:57 | of the other objects that you want to
remain on screen have any green in them
| | 01:00 | otherwise they will end up being see-
through along with the background. Now,
| | 01:03 | before you can apply the Green Screen
effect you should first go to iMovie >
| | 01:07 | Preferences and under the General
section make sure Show Advanced Tools is
| | 01:11 | checked. If it's not checked, you
won't see the green screen option.
| | 01:14 | All right, so let's see how we do this.
I'll first drag in the background clip
| | 01:19 | that I want to use so I'm going to use
this footage of these trees here,
| | 01:23 | if I click it, hit Command+A to select
the entire clip and drag it into my project.
| | 01:28 | And now dragging the footage of myself
in front of the green screen. I'm going
| | 01:30 | to use this clip here, again dragging
the whole clip in. I'm going to drag that
| | 01:35 | on top of my footage of the trees.
And when I release my mouse,
| | 01:38 | from the popup menu that appears, I'm going
to choose Green Screen. And that's all there
| | 01:43 | really is to it. iMovie removes the
green parts of the clip and all the remains
| | 01:47 | now are the non-green parts, which
happen to be me in this case.
| | 01:50 | Let me show you what this looks like.
| | 01:52 | (Birds chirping.)
Garrick in movie: Ah, the great outdoors!
| | 02:02 | Now, there is no way to fade in the
Green Screen effect so you should probably
| | 02:05 | line up the beginning of the green
screen clip to the beginning of the clip
| | 02:08 | underneath it. Otherwise it will look
like your green screen subject suddenly
| | 02:11 | pops into the shot. But if that's the
effect you are going for all the better.
| | 02:15 | But if not, drag the green screen clip
to the beginning of the background clip.
| | 02:18 | So, I'm just going to drag this to the
left until it lines up. So that way it
| | 02:22 | looks like I'm in the
shot from the very beginning.
| | 02:24 | Now, there are in actuality many other
things to put into consideration to make
| | 02:28 | you Green Screen effect look more
realistic, including properly lighting your
| | 02:32 | subjects so it looks more like the two
scenes are actually one scene lit by the
| | 02:35 | same light source. And making sure your
camera angles match so it doesn't look
| | 02:39 | like you are looking down on your
background scene while looking up at your
| | 02:42 | subject. But as far as the parts of
the process that iMovie takes care of
| | 02:46 | that's almost all there is to it.
| | 02:48 | Now, I say almost because there are a
couple of other things you can do to
| | 02:50 | fine-tune your Green Screen effect.
For example, if your green screen
| | 02:53 | background isn't quite being
completely subtracted by iMovie, maybe you are
| | 02:57 | seeing some shadows bleeding through
or something like that, you can help
| | 03:00 | iMovie learn exactly what it needs to
delete as long as the last frame of your
| | 03:04 | green screen shot is of just
the green background itself.
| | 03:07 | So, if you look at the clip in the
Event Browser, after I walk off at the end here,
| | 03:12 | we have only the green background.
So if iMovie is having trouble with
| | 03:16 | my shade of green, I can open the green
screen clip's pop-up menu, choose Clip
| | 03:21 | Adjustments and then under Background,
I can check Subtract last frame.
| | 03:25 | When I do so iMovie is going to look at
the very last frame of my green screen clip;
| | 03:29 | in this case it's just that empty
green screen and that helps iMovie better
| | 03:33 | determine exactly what it's supposed
to remove from the clip. But again this
| | 03:37 | only works if the last frame of
your clip is of just the background.
| | 03:39 | Now, iMovie also allows you to
manually crop out unwanted portions of your
| | 03:45 | green screen clip. In this third clip
in my Event Browser, I'm standing in
| | 03:49 | front of the wall again, but one of
my studio lights is also in the shot.
| | 03:53 | Let's see what this looks like applied with
the Green Screen effect. So, I'm going to
| | 03:56 | get rid of the one I originally dragged
in here just by hitting Delete and
| | 03:59 | I'll select this clip in its entirety,
drag it in here, choose Green Screen.
| | 04:06 | Now, let's just play this.
| | 04:08 | (Birds chirping.)
| | 04:19 | All right, so it works the way it's
supposed to and now I see myself and
| | 04:23 | the light in the shot, but I really don't
want that light in the shot. So I'm going
| | 04:27 | to select that Green Screen clip and
choose Cropped in the preview pane, let's
| | 04:33 | move the playhead over here so I can
actually see myself. So now I see a frame
| | 04:37 | here in the preview pane and I can
drag the corners of this frame around the
| | 04:41 | areas that I want to keep in the shot.
Anything outside those areas are going to
| | 04:45 | be removed from the shot. So you can
see I have already partially deleted part
| | 04:48 | of that light. By dragging this other
corner in, you can see it's pretty much gone.
| | 04:53 | But you need to be careful that you
don't crop the area so tightly that it
| | 04:56 | crops our parts of the subject that
might move outside that area. So we saw at
| | 04:59 | the end of this clip that I actually
walk off the shot, so if I crop it like
| | 05:04 | this you will see what
happens, when I play it back here.
| | 05:08 | (Birds chirping.)
| | 05:13 | So, I should go back and select the
green screen clip again and just drag its
| | 05:17 | corners all the way to the right edge
of the screen, so I can still walk off
| | 05:20 | the screen without looking like I'm
walking into other dimension. I'll click Done.
| | 05:24 | (Birds chirping.)
| | 05:29 | There we go.
| | 05:31 | So that's the new Green Screen effect.
Now, I should also point out that iMovie
| | 05:34 | also now comes with a variety of
backgrounds which you will find by clicking
| | 05:37 | the Maps and Backgrounds button. So
we'll see all the backgrounds if I scroll
| | 05:41 | down, and these are great if you are
creating a video report or a blog and you
| | 05:46 | just don't have anything
interesting to stand in front of. So just film
| | 05:48 | yourself in front of a green
background and then drag your clip on top of one
| | 05:51 | of these backgrounds.
| | 05:53 | Some of these backgrounds are animated
while others are static, but they all
| | 05:56 | work in the same way. Just drag a
background into your Project. I'll grab the
| | 06:00 | Curtain background. You can increase
this duration to your required length by
| | 06:07 | choosing Clip Adjustments and let's
make this 10 seconds. And then you can add your
| | 06:14 | green screen footage and just
drag a couple seconds here.
| | 06:23 | And there it is.
| | 06:25 | Garrick: Ah, the great outdoors!
| | 06:28 | And if you change your mind about the
background you can easily drag in any
| | 06:31 | other background over the current one
to swap them out. So if I want to grab
| | 06:34 | Blobs, just drag it on top of the
Curtain background, now we have that.
| | 06:41 | We have one called Underwater, kind of cool.
And you also have your solid color
| | 06:49 | backgrounds or pattern backgrounds and
they don't move, but they add a little
| | 06:52 | bit of texture behind your subject.
Although I kind of think that putting a
| | 06:59 | green background behind a green
screen shot is a little redundant.
| | 07:05 | Let's just play around with this and
give it a shot. There is really no end to
| | 07:08 | the fun stuff you can do with
the Green Screen effect in iMovie.

| Working with Snap to Beat markers| 00:00 | In iMovie '09 you can now synchronize
your video clips, photos, and titles to
| | 00:04 | specific points in your audio tracks.
This makes it super easy to edit your
| | 00:09 | video to music or to make sure a cut
happens exactly when a music queue or a
| | 00:12 | sound effect occurs.
| | 00:14 | You accomplish this by adding beat
markers. As an example, let me show you how
| | 00:17 | you can quickly create a photo slide
show set to music. I have created a new
| | 00:21 | empty project in iMovie, and
let's look at some music first.
| | 00:26 | I'll click my Music button, and let's
look in our iLife Sound Effects folder.
| | 00:31 | I'll go to Jingles and we have several
different built-in jingles that we can
| | 00:36 | choose from here. One I have chosen is
Greasy Wheels Long. I'll play a little
| | 00:40 | bit of that for you.
| | 00:41 | (Music plays.)
| | 00:49 | You get the idea.
I'm just going to drag that into my project.
| | 00:54 | So now that I have an audio clip in my
project, let's add some beat markers.
| | 00:57 | I'll click the audio clip's Action
popup menu, and choose Clip Trimmer.
| | 01:02 | Now I see the audio waveform for my
audio file here at the bottom of my window.
| | 01:07 | Now it's just a matter of figuring out
where I want the cuts in my video to occur
| | 01:10 | by adding beat markers.
| | 01:12 | Now there are a couple of ways of
doing this. Let's give this a listen first.
| | 01:15 | (Music plays.)
| | 01:21 | So right there when the rest of the
instruments kick in there, maybe that's
| | 01:24 | where I want my first cut to occur.
I can add a beat marker by right-clicking
| | 01:29 | at that location and choosing Add Beat
Marker, like so. If I move the playhead
| | 01:34 | away from there, you can see
the beat marker now appears there.
| | 01:37 | I can also drag beat markers to the
locations where I want them to occur,
| | 01:41 | and I do that by dragging the beat marker,
and let's say there, for example, and
| | 01:46 | there you can see it. You will just
continue doing this while you are listening
| | 01:50 | to your music, but personally, if you
are trying to sync your videos to a music track,
| | 01:53 | I think the best way to do
it is to tap out the beat markers in
| | 01:57 | real-time along with the music.
| | 01:59 | As long you have decent sense of rhythm,
this is the fastest and most fun way
| | 02:03 | to add beat markers. All you have to
do is let the music play and press the M key
| | 02:07 | on your keyboard, that's m as in
music, each time you want a beat marker to appear.
| | 02:11 | Let me show you how this works.
| | 02:13 | First, let's get rid of the beat
markers I have already added and we can do
| | 02:17 | this either by manually dragging each
one of them off, like so, or you can also
| | 02:21 | right-click or Ctrl+Click anywhere,
and choose remove All Beat Markers.
| | 02:26 | So now I'm going to play the music
from the beginning. I'll say the word now
| | 02:31 | the first few times so you know
exactly when I'm pressing the M key,
| | 02:34 | but you will see the beat markers appear
as I add them. All right, here we go.
| | 02:38 | (Music plays.)
| | 02:43 | Now,
| | 02:45 | now,
| | 02:48 | ...now,
| | 02:51 | now, now, now, now, now...
| | 02:57 | (Music plays.)
| | 03:16 | All right. So I went a
little crazy there at the end,
| | 03:19 | but let's go with it.
| | 03:20 | Now that I have the beat markers, I can
add my photos to create my slide show.
| | 03:23 | I'll click Done and let's click the
Photos button, so I can browse through my
| | 03:30 | iPhoto library. Let's grab the photos
from the smart album of the Allen family.
| | 03:35 | I'm just going to select them all. I'll select
the first one. Hit Command+A to grab them all.
| | 03:40 | I can see there are 52 photos selected,
I don't know if that's too many or too few
| | 03:44 | to match up to all the beat markers,
but we'll see in a moment here.
| | 03:47 | With them selected, I'm just going to drag
them into my project. Normally, when you
| | 03:53 | drag photos into your iMovie projects,
iMovie gives them a default duration of
| | 03:58 | about 4 seconds, but because we have
added beat markers, what iMovie is going
| | 04:01 | to do is take all of these photos and
just line each one up to each beat marker.
| | 04:09 | There it is. You can see the beat
markers in the Project pane. You can see that
| | 04:14 | each photo is lined up with a beat
marker. Also notice that the Ken Burns
| | 04:19 | effect has been added to each photo,
which is the default behavior for iMovie
| | 04:22 | to perform when you add photos to your project.
| | 04:25 | So let's see how this has turned out.
| | 04:27 | (Music plays.)
| | 05:07 | How cool is that? There is no faster way
| | 05:09 | than that to edit an entire slide show
to music. Now you don't have to drag all
| | 05:13 | your photos in one at a time, like I
did. If we don't have them all in an
| | 05:16 | iPhoto album, or if you just want to put
a little more thought into the order of
| | 05:20 | the pictures, just browse through your
photos and drag them in one at a time.
| | 05:23 | They will still automatically
line up to the beat markers.
| | 05:26 | You are still free to edit this
photo layout any way you like. For instance,
| | 05:30 | if I don't like that particular photo,
I can just delete it out of there and
| | 05:33 | let the next one take it's place.
Since I have some extra photos here,
| | 05:39 | I'll just delete them.
| | 05:47 | Actually I like this last photo
as the last photo in the slide show,
| | 05:50 | so let's delete this one,
and see how that looks.
| | 05:55 | (Music plays.)
| | 06:00 | Much better.
| | 06:02 | This works the same for video clips
as well. Dragging video clips from your
| | 06:05 | Event Browser into your Project pane
will automatically sync them to any beat
| | 06:08 | markers you have added. But also be
aware that the clips will be trimmed to
| | 06:11 | sync to the beats. So if you drag in,
say a 10 second video clip, but there is
| | 06:15 | only 5 seconds between beat markers,
your clip will be trimmed to 5 seconds long.
| | 06:19 | Now there are times when you don't
want your clips to be trimmed. Just go to
| | 06:22 | the View menu and uncheck Snap to Beats.
From that point on, the clips you drag
| | 06:27 | into your project will remain the
length they were when you dragged them in,
| | 06:31 | but you will still be able to manually
sync other clips and photos to your beat
| | 06:34 | markers just by dragging them in
and lining them up to the beat markers
| | 06:37 | visually. Keep in mind that you can
also sync titles and even other audio
| | 06:41 | clips to your beat markers.

3. GarageBandUsing the redesigned guitar amps and effects| 00:00 | GarageBand '09 features a brand new
interface and brand new amp sounds for
| | 00:04 | customizing the sound of your electric
guitar when you record it in GarageBand.
| | 00:08 | To record your guitar with GarageBand,
choose Electric Guitar from the newly
| | 00:11 | designed Project window, give your
song a name, I'll just call mine guitars,
| | 00:18 | and you can choose a time signature,
a tempo and a key. I'll just leave all
| | 00:22 | the defaults here and click Create.
| | 00:25 | So now we have a new project with our
first track already setup to record in
| | 00:28 | Electric Guitar and over on the
right side of the window, you see the new
| | 00:32 | guitar amp interface where you can
fine-tune the sound of your guitar.
| | 00:36 | Incidentally, if you want to add a
guitar track to an existing song, instead of
| | 00:39 | creating a new project from scratch,
you can do so by clicking the Add button,
| | 00:43 | and then choosing Electric Guitar
and you get the same default track.
| | 00:49 | But I only need one track right now,
so I'm going to delete that.
| | 00:51 | So like I said, this is the new guitar
amp interface, which if you've spent any
| | 00:56 | time playing with real guitar amps
and stompboxes, should be completely
| | 01:00 | intuitive for you. You can select the
amp to reveals its controls below and
| | 01:04 | from here you can play with
the dials to adjust your sound.
| | 01:06 | First let me set the sub, so you
can actually hear what's going on.
| | 01:09 | With the amp selected, I'm going to click Edit,
you can see that actually flips the amp around,
| | 01:14 | and I'm going to turn my
monitor on so I can hear the guitar.
| | 01:19 | (Guitar strum.)
| | 01:20 | All right, and I'm joined my band mate,
Larry Kennedy. He is actually sitting
| | 01:24 | outside the booth strumming the guitar for me
while l walk you through this tutorial.
| | 01:26 | I am going to click Done to turn the
amp back around, and now we see the dials
| | 01:32 | that are available on this amp. So if
Larry plays it a little bit, I can play
| | 01:35 | around with these settings
to show you how this works.
| | 01:37 | (Guitar strumming.)
| | 01:42 | Add a little more Reverb, add more Gain,
| | 01:45 | (Guitar strumming.)
| | 01:47 | a little distortion there.
| | 01:49 | (Guitar strumming.)
| | 01:52 | Maybe a little bit of Tremolo.
| | 01:54 | (Guitar strumming.)
| | 02:05 | Incidentally, since these dials are
setup to mimic the look of a real amp,
| | 02:10 | you might expect to have to drag your
mouse in a circular motion to change their
| | 02:13 | positions, but that wouldn't really
make sense in this interface. So to turn
| | 02:17 | these dials in GarageBand, simply
click on them and drag up or down, like so.
| | 02:26 | But this isn't the only way to
control your sound. Many guitars also play
| | 02:30 | through a stompboxes or pedals, which
process the sound of the guitar before it
| | 02:34 | reaches the amp. By selecting the
stompbox, I can adjust its settings and
| | 02:38 | again, if you're used to real
stompboxes it should be pretty intuitive.
| | 02:42 | This looks like a real stompbox and it's
got a button on it that normally on a real
| | 02:45 | stompbox you would step on, but here
in GarageBand, we simply click to turn
| | 02:48 | stompbox on or off.
| | 02:51 | And again, if Larry plays a little bit for me...
| | 02:54 | (Guitar strum.)
| | 02:56 | Here again we can drag up
and down to turn dials.
| | 02:59 | (Guitar strumming.)
| | 03:05 | Or click switches to flip
them from one position to the next.
| | 03:09 | (Guitar strumming.)
| | 03:12 | And you are not limited to just
one or two stompboxes. With the Stompbox
| | 03:16 | selected, click Edit, and now we
have access to all ten stompbox effects
| | 03:21 | available in GarageBand.
| | 03:23 | To add one to your audio chain, simply
drag it to an empty space and release,
| | 03:28 | or you can replace existing stompboxes
by dragging a different one on top of them.
| | 03:32 | And then you can click Done,
and start playing with each individual
| | 03:38 | stompbox. Go ahead and play, Larry.
| | 03:39 | (Guitar playing.)
| | 03:48 | Let's try the Chorus out here.
| | 03:50 | (Guitar playing.)
| | 03:57 | And again you can click them on
and off to see their effects.
| | 04:00 | (Guitar playing.)
| | 04:04 | And just like with real stompboxes the order
that you have them in can change it sound.
| | 04:08 | So if you want to change it, you just
simply move them around and then click Done.
| | 04:15 | In all, you can add five stompboxes
to your audio chain, but wait, there's more!
| | 04:19 | Click the menu at the top of the
pane to select from dozens of preset amp
| | 04:23 | and stompbox combos which model and
recreate some of the most legendary guitar rigs
| | 04:27 | in electric guitar history.
| | 04:28 | Let me go ahead and pick Brit Pop and
incidentally, if you have been playing
| | 04:34 | around with some of the settings, you
might see this message saying that
| | 04:37 | you have changed your instrument settings.
If you want to save those settings as a
| | 04:40 | custom setting, click Save As. Otherwise,
just click Continue to discard those changes.
| | 04:44 | So now we have got the Brit Pop
amp and stompbox combo. Go ahead and
| | 04:48 | play a little bit.
| | 04:49 | (Guitar playing.)
| | 05:00 | We've also got--
let's go with the Big Hair Metal.
| | 05:04 | (Guitar playing.)
| | 05:17 | Now, you can play these presets as-is,
or use them as a starting point to
| | 05:21 | customize your own sound by tweaking
the settings of either the amp or one of
| | 05:24 | the stompboxes. Let's try another one
here. Let's try some Punk Rock and again,
| | 05:31 | I'll just discard these
changes I made previously.
| | 05:34 | (Guitar playing.)
| | 05:44 | And let's just try one more here.
How about a Liverpool Bright?
| | 05:52 | (Guitar playing.)
| | 05:59 | And how about-- let's try Seattle Sound.
| | 06:05 | (Guitar playing.)
| | 06:12 | All right, so you get the idea.
| | 06:14 | Again, use these either as-is or just as
a starting point to customize your own sounds.
| | 06:19 | So those are the newly redesigned guitar
amps and stompbox effects you'll find in
| | 06:23 | GarageBand '09.

| Learning with the new Magic GarageBand| 00:00 | GarageBand '09 features an enhanced
version of Magic GarageBand, the feature
| | 00:04 | introduced in GarageBand '08 that lets you
play along with your own virtual backing band.
| | 00:08 | GarageBand '09 features expand the
capabilities for customizing your Magic
| | 00:12 | GarageBand instruments and mix. In
the GarageBand project window, select
| | 00:17 | Magic GarageBand to create a new Magic
GarageBand session, and then you can choose
| | 00:21 | the style you want to play in. As
you roll your mouse over each different style,
| | 00:24 | you'll see that a Preview button appears.
You can click that Preview button
| | 00:27 | to get a sample of
the sound of that style.
| | 00:29 | (Salsa music plays.)
| | 00:35 | (Jazz music plays.)
| | 00:38 | (Country/honky-tonk music plays.)
| | 00:42 | (Acoustic rock music plays.)
| | 00:46 | And I think I'll go with that one. So
with Roots Rock selected, I'll click Choose.
| | 00:54 | And now we see the Magic GarageBand
stage. As before, you can click Play
| | 00:58 | to hear the song and then select
each individual instrument to customize
| | 01:01 | the sound or instrument being used.
| | 01:04 | (Acoustic rock music plays.)
| | 01:09 | So I can select the Melody track here,
| | 01:11 | maybe I want the Glassy Guitar instead.
| | 01:15 | (Acoustic rock music plays.)
| | 01:19 | You can hear what sounds like.
| | 01:21 | Move on to the Keyboard.
Let's try the Grand Piano.
| | 01:25 | (Acoustic rock music plays.)
| | 01:36 | Let's pause that for a second and of
course, you can also adjust the settings
| | 01:39 | of your own instrument right here in
center stage by selecting it and then
| | 01:42 | choosing under My Instrument from
Keyboard or Guitar, or if you have a
| | 01:46 | microphone or audio input device connected
to your Mac, you'll see that in list here as well.
| | 01:49 | So if I select Keyboard, for example,
I can choose from Grand Piano, Classic
| | 01:54 | Rock Organ or Electric Piano. Or if I
prefer to just mix the song without me playing,
| | 01:58 | I can choose No Instrument.
Now, you can also control the level of
| | 02:02 | each instrument here on the Magic
GarageBand stage by selecting it, toggling
| | 02:06 | down its controls and from here, you
can Mute, Solo, or use the Level slider to
| | 02:11 | adjust its level in the mix.
| | 02:13 | (Acoustic rock music playing. Guitar becomes
more or less prominent as slider is moved.)
| | 02:26 | Also in your GarageBand, you can jump
to a particular section of the song by
| | 02:29 | clicking the Verse,
| | 02:31 | (Music playing.)
| | 02:34 | the Chorus,
| | 02:35 | (Music playing.)
| | 02:38 | or the Bridge sections of the song.
| | 02:41 | (Music playing.)
| | 02:44 | You can also drag the playhead to
a specific location of song as well.
| | 02:47 | (Music playing.)
| | 02:52 | Now, if you would rather let random chance
pick the sound of each instrument in your
| | 02:55 | GarageBand stage, click an empty
part of the stage to deselect all the
| | 02:59 | instruments and then click Shuffle
Instruments. You'll get a different
| | 03:04 | combination every time and you can
do this while the track is playing.
| | 03:08 | (Music playing.)
| | 03:12 | Click Entire Song so I can hear the
entire song without repeating the bridge,
| | 03:15 | and just click Shuffle Instruments again.
| | 03:21 | (Music starts playing again.)
| | 03:25 | Click it again.
| | 03:26 | (Music plays, with different arrangement.)
| | 03:33 | And again.
| | 03:36 | Does take a moment for each instrument to load.
| | 03:39 | (Music starts playing again.)
| | 03:43 | Also new to GarageBand '09, you can now
| | 03:45 | view Magic GarageBand in full screen by
clicking the Full Screen button here on
| | 03:48 | the lower right-hand corner of the stage.
That just lets you expand the stage
| | 03:53 | to the full view of your monitor and
you can leave Full Screen View by pressing
| | 03:56 | the Escape key on your keyboard. And once
you have the song sounding the way you want,
| | 04:00 | click Open in GarageBand.
| | 04:05 | And at this point,
you can edit and remix or
| | 04:08 | add as many additional tracks as you need.
| | 04:09 | If you've used Magic GarageBand in
the past, I think you'll enjoy the
| | 04:13 | flexibility of how much of the song
setup you can take care of on the Magic
| | 04:17 | GarageBand stage before you
open the tracks in GarageBand.

| Watching the Learn to Play lesson| 00:00 | Ever since its first release,
GarageBand has been a great tool for easily
| | 00:04 | creating music for your videos, slide
shows, podcasts or just for the sake of
| | 00:08 | the music itself. Whether it's by
mixing prerecorded loops together, or
| | 00:13 | recording software instruments or real
instruments, it's easy to create music
| | 00:16 | in GarageBand.
| | 00:16 | But recording software and real
instruments does require a certain level of
| | 00:21 | musical ability and know-how. If your
use of GarageBand has been limited to
| | 00:25 | mixing together prerecorded loops from
the loop browser, or displaying simple
| | 00:29 | lines on a keyboard or guitar, you
will be thrilled to learn that GarageBand
| | 00:32 | now features built-in lessons to
teach you how to play piano and guitar.
| | 00:36 | You will find GarageBand's built-in
lessons in the Project window under Learn to Play.
| | 00:40 | From here you can choose from basic
piano lessons or basic guitar lessons.
| | 00:44 | I'll choose Guitar for this example.
| | 00:49 | Tim: Hi, I'm Tim. This is the first
in a series of lessons that will help you
| | 00:54 | Tim: learn how to play the guitar.
In this one, I'll give you a short introduction
| | 00:57 | Tim: to the instrument and help you get started
quickly with some music that's really easy to play.
| | 01:05 | Garrick: So as you can see, GarageBand's lessons
takeover the full screen and our buddy, Tim,
| | 01:09 | acts as our video teacher. Notice
that we see the fretboard of the guitar
| | 01:13 | across the length of the entire window
and as Tim plays the guitar, the finger
| | 01:17 | positions for the chords he is playing
will display so you can see exactly how
| | 01:19 | to play the chords yourself.
| | 01:21 | Let me jump ahead a bit in the lesson
by moving the playhead in the timeline.
| | 01:25 | Notice that each portion of the
lesson is represented in the timeline,
| | 01:29 | like acoustic guitar, electric guitar,
holding the guitar, tuning, picking and
| | 01:34 | strumming, strumming an E chord.
So you can jump exactly to the part of
| | 01:37 | the lesson that you want to watch. Let
me go ahead and play a little of this for you,
| | 01:42 | where he is showing you how to
play an E chord and you will see
| | 01:45 | the actual position show up
on this guitar fretboard.
| | 01:48 | Tim: ...string at the first fret and press down.
| | 01:52 | Tim: Don't press down on the fret itself.
Aim for the area just behind it.
| | 01:58 | Tim: Next press your ring finger against
the fourth string at the second fret.
| | 02:04 | Tim: Then press your middle finger against
the fifth string at the same fret.
| | 02:08 | Garrick: So right there you can see the
positions show up very clearly here on the
| | 02:11 | guitar fretboard. It really is just
like having someone there to show you where
| | 02:15 | to place your fingers. Even the
position of this virtual guitar that we see on
| | 02:18 | the screen is set up to look like what
you'd see if you were looking down at
| | 02:21 | the fretboard while playing a guitar.
| | 02:24 | If you are left-handed, Apple hasn't
forgotten about you either. Just click
| | 02:27 | Setup and in here you can check Left-
handed Guitar, as well as adjust
| | 02:33 | the other display settings of the lesson,
as far as what kind of notation you want
| | 02:36 | to see and the appearance on screen.
Whether you want to see notation and
| | 02:42 | instrument, instrument only or notation only.
| | 02:45 | Notice there are keyboard shortcuts
for each of these appearance settings so
| | 02:48 | you can easily switch among them
while you are in your lesson. I'm going to
| | 02:52 | click Done. In addition to just
watching the lesson, you can also play along
| | 02:56 | with the lesson, along with the full
backing band, once you feel you are ready
| | 02:59 | to do so. Just move your mouse over
the video and you can choose Play.
| | 03:07 | (Guitar strumming.)
| | 03:10 | And here you get a split
screen view of the instructor playing.
| | 03:13 | (Guitar strumming plus backing music.)
| | 03:15 | You can even choose the angle of the right
display to get a different view of the action.
| | 03:18 | (Music playing.)
| | 03:28 | Now if the song is moving
too fast for you to play along with,
| | 03:31 | use the Speed slider to decrease the
playback. Notice that GarageBand will mute
| | 03:37 | the instructor's voice if you
reduce the speed of the playback.
| | 03:39 | (Music playing, more slowly.)
| | 03:46 | And you can continue to slow that down,
| | 03:48 | (Music playing, more slowly.)
| | 03:52 | or pull it back up to full speed.
| | 03:54 | (Music fades out.)
| | 04:02 | Probably the coolest part about
playing along with the lessons is the ability
| | 04:05 | to mix the song while the song is
playing. Let me go ahead and play it again.
| | 04:11 | (Music playing.)
| | 04:13 | Click Mixer and here you can
adjust the levels of the teacher's voice,
| | 04:18 | the teacher's guitar, the backing
band or even your own instrument.
| | 04:24 | So if I wanted to reduce
the sound at the backing band, so I could
| | 04:26 | hear the teacher's guitar
a little bit better, I could do so.
| | 04:30 | (Music playing, guitar more prominent.)
| | 04:33 | Or if I'm playing along and I want to
reduce the sound of the teacher's guitar,
| | 04:36 | I can drop that out of the mix,
and mix my own instrument higher.
| | 04:40 | (Music playing.)
| | 04:54 | And then we can turn off the Mixer.
| | 04:59 | If you want a chance
to add your own tracks to
| | 05:01 | the song you are learning, click Open
in GarageBand and then you are free to
| | 05:06 | mix, edit, and add to the
song as much as you like.
| | 05:08 | Now GarageBand comes with just the
basic guitar and piano lessons installed,
| | 05:13 | but there are a lot more lessons
available by going back to the Project window,
| | 05:17 | and choosing File > New and
then select the Lessons Store.
| | 05:22 | Here in the Lessons Store, you can download
additional guitar and piano lessons completely
| | 05:26 | for free. Just browse through, find
the lesson you want, and then click
| | 05:32 | Download. You will get a message
thanking you for choosing a Learn to Play
| | 05:36 | Lesson from the GarageBand Lesson
Store, and then you click Download to
| | 05:39 | download a file. I'm just going
to cancel out of that for the moment.
| | 05:43 | While you are here in the Lessons
Store, be sure to check out the Artists
| | 05:46 | Lessons section. In this section
you will find special lessons in which
| | 05:49 | professional and often famous musicians
teach you how to play versions of some
| | 05:53 | of their most famous songs. Now unlike
the basic lessons, these lessons cost
| | 05:57 | $4.99 each, but if you are a fan of
Ben Folds, Sting, John Fogerty, or any of
| | 06:02 | the other artists represented here,
you'll probably want to pay the nominal fee to
| | 06:05 | see the original artist show
you how to play his or her song.
| | 06:09 | Each of these lessons also includes
clips where the artist tells you the story
| | 06:12 | behind the creation of the song you
are learning. So it really is almost like
| | 06:15 | getting a private lesson from a major
recording artist, and that's the gist of
| | 06:19 | the new Learn to Play feature of GarageBand '09.

4. iWebIntegrating FTP publishing| 00:00 | With iWeb '09 you now have the
ability to publish your iWeb websites to not
| | 00:04 | just the MobileMe account but to
virtually any other web hosting service of
| | 00:07 | your choice, using FTP.
| | 00:10 | To do so, select the name of your
site from your iWeb sidebar and from the
| | 00:14 | Publish to: menu you can select FTP
Server. This is also the menu where you can
| | 00:18 | choose to publish to your MobileMe
account or to a local folder on your Mac.
| | 00:21 | But we're looking at the new FTP options
in this example. So I'll choose FTP Server.
| | 00:27 | Then enter your site's name if you want
it to be different than the name you've
| | 00:29 | already given it in the sidebar.
Maybe I want to be more specific here.
| | 00:34 | I'll just call this MelbourneTrip.
| | 00:35 | You also have the option of entering a
Contact email. If you've added an email
| | 00:41 | me button to your website, the
address that you enter in the Contact email
| | 00:44 | field will receive the messages
people send you using that button.
| | 00:47 | Next under FTP Server Settings you want
to enter your FTP Server Settings. Now
| | 00:52 | I want to stress that these settings
are provided to you by your site's hosting
| | 00:55 | provider and the information is going
to be unique to every individual. So if
| | 00:58 | you don't know what information to
enter in these fields, be sure to call or
| | 01:02 | email your hosting service for the
information that's specific for your site.
| | 01:05 | In my case I'm going to host my
iWeb site on a website I own called
| | 01:08 | surfgroundswell.com. So I enter the
FTP information for my website, and my
| | 01:17 | login information. And again, this is
going to be different for every single website.
| | 01:24 | Now in my case I've already created a
folder on my server called trips. So I'm
| | 01:27 | going to let iWeb know that I want to
publish my iWeb site into the folder on
| | 01:31 | my server called trips. And I plan on
putting all of the travel websites that I
| | 01:35 | create an iWeb into that trips' folder.
| | 01:38 | Under Protocol I'm going to stick with
FTP again, if you're supposed to select
| | 01:41 | something different here, your Web
Hosting Provider will let you know if you're
| | 01:44 | supposed to select one of these other options.
| | 01:45 | Now under Website URL I'm going to type
the address of my website. In this case
| | 01:52 | I'm adding /trips at the end, because
that's the folder I'm publishing into.
| | 01:56 | And then you can click the Test
Connection button to have iWeb try to connect
| | 01:59 | your site using the information you've
entered here. Then I get the message,
| | 02:05 | Testing succeeded, I can now publish
my site to the selected FTP Server. If
| | 02:09 | iWeb reports a problem connecting to
your site, check your settings and try again.
| | 02:14 | So now we're ready to publish. With my
site selected in my sidebar, I just come
| | 02:19 | down to the bottom of the iWeb
window and click Publish Site. I get some
| | 02:24 | messages saying iWeb is preparing
the pages, and then I get this message
| | 02:27 | telling me that publishing will not
continue in the background and I'm free to
| | 02:31 | work on other things in iWeb or go
grab a cup of coffee or whatever. Click on
| | 02:35 | OK, and you can keep an eye on the
status of your upload by looking at the icon
| | 02:39 | next to your site's name in the
sidebar. If you're not as enthralled by
| | 02:43 | watching the progress as I am, you
can go work on another iWeb site or do
| | 02:46 | something else until your site is published.
| | 02:49 | The amount of time it takes to publish
your site depends on the size of your
| | 02:51 | site and the speed of your Internet connection.
| | 02:53 | All right, so iWeb is now telling me
my site has been published, it gives me
| | 02:58 | the actual location of the website by
sending an email to my friends with a
| | 03:02 | link to the website in it, or I can
choose to visit the site myself now.
| | 03:05 | I'll go ahead and do that.
| | 03:06 | So it probably pops open, I can see the
address of the website here and my page
| | 03:11 | should load in just a moment. There is
my site sitting live on the web. I can
| | 03:17 | read through my site, check it out,
click some of my links and everything
| | 03:22 | appears to be working. Again, you can
see in the Address Bar up here that my
| | 03:26 | site is stored inside that trips
folder that I specified in my FTP Server
| | 03:29 | information. Let's got back to iWeb.
| | 03:31 | Now that my FTP connection is all set up,
if I make any changes or edits to my
| | 03:36 | pages, uploading these changes is a
simple matter of just clicking the Publish
| | 03:39 | button again. So, for instance, if I
come into this page here and I just change
| | 03:43 | some text, maybe I change this from
late August to early September and save that.
| | 03:50 | Any pages that I've updated
since I last published my site are
| | 03:54 | highlighted in red over here in the
sidebar. That makes it easy for me to know
| | 03:58 | that this particular page needs to be
republished. Since iWeb already has my
| | 04:01 | FTP information stored, it's just a one-
click step to click Publish Site again,
| | 04:07 | and send the changes to
the live site on the web.
| | 04:14 | Since that was just the text change the
upload happened very quickly and I can
| | 04:17 | visit my site now to see the
change right here on my live website.
| | 04:21 | So that's how we set up and use the new
FTP publishing capability of iWeb '09.

| Using iWeb widgets| 00:00 | iWeb '09 comes loaded with a new
collection of easy to use widgets that you can
| | 00:04 | drag into your web pages to enhance
your site with items like YouTube videos,
| | 00:08 | Google Maps, Countdown Timers, and more.
| | 00:10 | To access iWeb's widgets, open up the
Media Browser and click Widgets. So these
| | 00:17 | are all the widgets available
for you to add to your site.
| | 00:20 | Now, in the previous version of iWeb,
you could add items like Google Maps and
| | 00:23 | HTML Snippets, but here in iWeb '09,
all the widgets are located in one place.
| | 00:28 | There is a lot more of them, and adding
them to your site is simply a matter of
| | 00:31 | dragging the widget onto your page.
| | 00:33 | For example, this page I'm looking at
right now is talking about the Southbank
| | 00:37 | section of Melbourne, Australia. I
would like to include a YouTube video
| | 00:41 | showing one of the sites found along
the riverbank, and I just so happened to
| | 00:44 | have found a video on
YouTube that would be perfect here.
| | 00:46 | Let's switch over to Safari for a moment.
Here in YouTube is the video I would
| | 00:53 | like to embed in my page. Let
me play it a little bit for you.
| | 00:56 | [Video Playing - 00:00:57 - 00:01:10]
| | 00:56 | So to add this to my iWeb page, I
need to copy the URL or address of this
| | 01:15 | video, which I can get either by
selecting the address in the Address Bar or
| | 01:19 | from the URL field on the YouTube page.
With either one selected, I can choose
| | 01:23 | Edit>Copy, and then let's go back to iWeb.
| | 01:28 | On iWeb, I'm going to grab the YouTube
widget and drag that onto my page.
| | 01:32 | You can see it appears right there. Let's
just resize this a bit so it's about the
| | 01:36 | same width as the column of texts above.
Let me reposition that, put it about there.
| | 01:44 | Now what I'm going to do is paste in
that URL I copied from Safari into the
| | 01:48 | YouTube URL field.
| | 01:52 | We also have the option of Showing
or Not Showing related videos after my
| | 01:55 | embedded video plays. If you don't want
a list of what YouTube considers to be
| | 01:59 | related videos to appear when this
video is done playing, just uncheck that
| | 02:03 | option. And really that's all there is to it.
| | 02:06 | I click Apply, and the video is now
embedded on my iWeb page. I can even select
| | 02:11 | it and click Play to play
the video right here in iWeb.
| | 02:23 | There it is. For the most part, all
the other widgets in iWeb are just as
| | 02:27 | self-explanatory. For example, this
Google Map that you see down here at the
| | 02:31 | bottom of my page was created by
dragging out the Google Maps' widget onto the
| | 02:35 | page and then adding the
address into the address field.
| | 02:39 | You can see by selecting that widget
at any time, I can further change my
| | 02:42 | settings. Maybe I don't want to see
the Search bar, or I want to see the
| | 02:45 | Address bubble. I can click on the map
itself, reposition it. Maybe I want to
| | 02:54 | make that the Satellite version
instead of the Map version, I can do that as
| | 02:56 | well, and maybe zoom in a bit. All
those options are available to me here.
| | 03:03 | Let me show you one more of the new
widgets. Let's go back to the Welcome page,
| | 03:06 | and let's say I want to let my site
visitors know how long it's going to be
| | 03:09 | until my next trip. I'll just come in
here and type a line of text underneath
| | 03:13 | the first paragraph, and I'll just type
Time until my next trip: and I'm going
| | 03:21 | to drag in the Countdown widget, which
looks like this neat little countdown timer.
| | 03:25 | Let's reposition that a bit more. So
you can see here we can choose the style
| | 03:30 | of the Countdown widget. I kind of
like that current one, but maybe for this
| | 03:34 | page we'll choose the one on the
bottom, which means I probably should
| | 03:37 | reposition that again.
| | 03:38 | I can choose which labels I want to
see in the display. If I want to include
| | 03:44 | Years, I can drag the handle over.
If I only want to include Minutes and
| | 03:47 | Seconds. It's just a matter of
dragging this handle left or right or turning
| | 03:52 | labels off altogether.
| | 03:53 | Then I can add the Date that I'm
counting down to. So maybe my next trip is
| | 03:56 | going to be 10/26/2009, and
we'll just say it's 4:23 PM.
| | 04:03 | I will close the Info window and
there you can see the Countdown timer.
| | 04:08 | I should reposition that just a little bit.
Maybe just add one more line of space
| | 04:16 | there so we can actually see the
timer. There it is. I now have a live
| | 04:19 | countdown timer on my site. It's that easy.
| | 04:22 | So take some time to explore the other
widgets in iWeb like the iSight Photo
| | 04:26 | and iSight Movie widgets, which can be
a fun and quick way to get snapshots and
| | 04:29 | short videos onto your page. Don't be
afraid to experiment. If you decide you
| | 04:33 | don't need a widget that you have
dragged onto your page, just select it,
| | 04:36 | hit the Delete key, and it's gone like that.
| | 04:39 | But do at least give widgets a try,
because they represent a lot of fun and
| | 04:42 | useful things you could be
adding to your iWeb sites.

| Showing Facebook notifications| 00:00 | If you are one of the millions of
people in the world who have Facebook
| | 00:03 | accounts, you are probably familiar
with the concept of Facebook Updates. In
| | 00:07 | most cases, unless you have changed
your privacy settings, Facebook alerts your
| | 00:10 | friends when you have made changes
to your profile or performed other
| | 00:13 | activities that your
friends may want to know about.
| | 00:16 | iWeb '09 comes with the ability to
notify Facebook when you have made changes
| | 00:19 | through your iWeb sites, thereby
letting your friends know that there are some
| | 00:22 | new content on your site for them to check out.
| | 00:25 | iWeb also has the ability to generate
an email for you in which you can let
| | 00:28 | friends know about your changes. Using
Facebook alerts can be much quicker and
| | 00:32 | doesn't require any other interaction
on your part once you have linked your
| | 00:34 | iWeb site to your Facebook account. Of
course, in order for your friends to see
| | 00:38 | these updates, they themselves also
have to be Facebook members. But these many
| | 00:42 | people are already Facebook members.
| | 00:45 | To link your site to your Facebook
account, select the site in your iWeb
| | 00:48 | sidebar. Then scroll down and check
Update my Facebook profile when I publish
| | 00:52 | this site. Next, you will be asked to
enter your Facebook account information
| | 00:58 | and confirm that you want to give
iWeb the ability to update your Facebook
| | 01:01 | account info.
| | 01:02 | So you want to enter your Email and
your Password. You can check Keep me logged
| | 01:06 | in to iWeb. If you don't want to have
to enter this information each time, then
| | 01:10 | click Login. Now I'm being asked, do I
want to allow access to iWeb? And I do
| | 01:16 | want to click Allow because I want my
friends to be able to see when I have
| | 01:18 | updated my iWeb pages.
| | 01:20 | Then I'm told I can close this window
and return to the application. So I'll
| | 01:23 | click Finish. Now I see the message in
the Facebook section, Updates will be
| | 01:28 | published to Garrick Chow. If you do
need to remove your Facebook account
| | 01:31 | information, just click Remove Account.
| | 01:33 | So I'm going to go ahead and publish
my site. I have two red pages in my site
| | 01:37 | indicating that I have made change to
my site since last time it was published.
| | 01:40 | So I'll click Publish Site. Go ahead
and let iWeb work in the background. Okay,
| | 01:49 | now that the upload is finished,
again I can Announce via email that the
| | 01:54 | website was updated. I can
Visit Site Now or just click OK.
| | 01:57 | Notice also that it's telling me your
Facebook profile was updated. So iWeb is
| | 02:01 | letting me know that it added that
information to my Facebook profile. I'm just
| | 02:04 | going to click OK and then switch over
to Safari and go to Facebook and I log
| | 02:13 | in to my account.
| | 02:17 | So here on my profile page here in
Facebook you can see right here under Recent
| | 02:21 | Activity it's telling me Garrick's
iWeb Site Melbourne Trip has been updated.
| | 02:25 | So anybody who is my friend will see
that information on their own Facebook
| | 02:29 | homepage and they could also click
this link to visit the site. Let's go back
| | 02:33 | to Facebook.
| | 02:36 | You can see we have even get this nice
little iWeb icon next to the Alert. So
| | 02:40 | now anytime I update my site in the
future a new message will appear in my
| | 02:43 | Facebook profile and on my friends
Facebook homepages letting them know that I
| | 02:46 | have made changes to my site and giving
them a link to the site right there on
| | 02:50 | their Facebook pages.
Doesn't get much easier than that.
