As I was watching a Microsoft TV commercial the other night advertising Windows XP, I noticed that one of the primary features being promoted was Digital Video (DV) editing. Funny how the XP interface looked very much like Apple's iMovie. Yes, like its older cousin QuickTime (that by the way just celebrated its tenth birthday), iMovie is destined to be imitated time and time again because it's truly a breakthrough application. Dare I say Killer App? But iMovie has its frustrations too. The two complaints I receive most often are: * I can't import my analog video into iMovie, and * I can't use iMovie's powerful feature set for my QuickTime videos and stills. The truth of the matter is that both hurdles can be overcome, and the solutions can be summed up in this sentence, "Convert your existing media to DV, then you can use iMovie to edit it." Today I'm going to show you how to import your QuickTime video and stills into iMovie for production, use all of those powerful iMovie tools, then export the content back to QuickTime for playback. I will walk you through this process using a series of tips.
