Chapter 11. Creating Your Own Movies

Creating Your Own Movies

Your iMac includes all the software you need to make professional-quality movies from your own video footage. You can import video from either a tape camcorder or a digital camcorder, edit the footage, add titles and credits, and give the movie a soundtrack. You can then share the movie with other applications, export the movie to a file, or post it on YouTube.
