In addition to grabbing still frames from your video footage to incorporate into your iMovie projects, you can also incorporate still photos that you shot with your digital still camera or phone, or perhaps scanned into your Mac. This video explains how to import still photos, as well as the iMovie preferences on how still photos are treated when you add them to your project.
- [Narrator] In addition to grabbing still frames…from your video footage to incorporate…into your iMovie projects,…you can also incorporate still photos that you shot…with your digital camera or phone…or perhaps scanned into your Mac.…It makes sense that if you have video footage…of, say, your vacation, you most likely have still photos…from your trip as well.…You'll probably want to add them to your iMovie project.…It's really easy to do.…In the exercise files folder,…I have folder called AT photos.…In here, we have a handful of photos.…Now, the easiest and quickest way to add photos right now,…since I'm looking right at the images in a window sitting…on top of my iMovie Window,…is to just drag the photos in.…
