Are you a victim of your own success as a photographer? Are your grandchildren, children, girlfriend/boyfriend too darned cute not to photograph every day?

Picture the fun you could be having!

eggnogNovember 21st was a sampler day for MacLearn.  Norman and Dorothy Hallett, Robbie Gee, Joan Larcom, Marcy Katz, Richard Sato,  Lorie Goodman and Terrence Young had fun with all kinds of great apps for making things with images.

Terrence first shot a clip of each person in front of ING Direct’s green wall using the video feature of his regular Canon camera.  The clips were brought into iMovie using the green screen effect and voila! folks were transported to Branson, the grandchildren’s house, Chicago or Europe.

Next was Photo Booth.  Lorie took a video ride on a moving roller coaster and others tried the 4-up, sepia tone and miscellaneous effects.  The computer’s built-in camera captured a still or a video clip which could be sent to iPhoto with one click.

Preserving Today for Tomorrow with iMovie and iDVD

Ross RasmussenRoss Rasmussen introduced two robust iApps, iMovie and iDVD ‘09 to save your memories in an entertaining and professional looking way.  In a two hour MacLearn session on August 22nd he took the process from start to finish.  He shot some video clips of traffic on Kalakaua Avenue and of Richard Sato dancing, well, gesturing, in front of the green wall upstairs at the ING Direct Café.  He imported them as iMovie Events, and from those Events, selected and dragged clips into an iMovie project.  Built-in templates, titles and effects made it easy to stitch the clips into a movie.  He turned Richard upside and had traffic driving through him on Kalakaua.  Howz that?!

imovieJoin us August 22, Saturday from 10-12 at ING Direct Cafe for 2 hours of iMovie and iDVD by Ross Rasmussen, Windward Adult School instructor. Ross just completed a great iPhoto handson workshop and  now he focuses on two amazing products you get for free with your new Mac.   Take those cellular phone and digital camera movies, still pictures and actually do something  with them. You know what I mean 8-).

iMovie lets you import movies, clip them,  drop them into a project window, then drag to reorder them, add text, special effects and transitions.  Finish them off with music and even rolling credits.  Save them out as a Quicktime movie or export to YouTube or iTunes.  Then comes iDVD.  Take 2, 3 or more movies and put them together in a self-playing DVD with cool templates you drag and drop your stuff into.  Way cool!
