Editing Video Woes

We did more filming before the week was out (and I didn't remember to bring my camera for stills, but as I was crawling around on the floor and stuff, I wouldn't have been able to take pictures anyway), and now it's time to think about editing.

I had started to watch the lynda.com videos for imovie, but then I realized that they were for imovie'06 and the computers in the lab have imovie'09 on them and they don't look at all the same, so videos telling me where to find things in one seem pretty useless for the other. It looks like our class lynda.com membership only lets us watch the particular videos listed for our course so I couldn't get any of the '09 tutorials to play. But Apple's website has a handful of online tutorials--just getting the general idea sort of things, which is just the right speed for me. I also just poked around on Google for any other tutorials and checked those out. This one wasn't bad. There are heaps of them on youtube, most of which seem to be made by wee little boys--it kinda cute. I liked this one and this one. I think I remeber what I watched, and I'll find out tomorrow in class (I've discovered that my computer won't accept any relatively recent version of imovie--its video card is too old? The message that popped up when I tried to install it from my ilife CD said something to that extent).
