Movie  Trailers  with  iMovie  for  iPads    

 Movie  Clips  There  are  two  ways  to  get  video  to  be  used  in  your  project:  

• Use  clips  already  stored  on  your  device.  The  advantage  to  this  method  is  that  you  have  more  editing  options.  

• Record  videos  directly  from  within  iMovie.  The  advantage  of  this  method  is  that  you  have  directions  within  iMovie  as  to  what  type  of  clip  is  needed.  

 Creating  your  Trailer  Use  the  +  button  on  the  main  screen,  select  New  Trailer  and  then  choose  the  type/theme  of  trailer  to  create.  Tap  Create  to  begin.  

 

Editing  The  first  screen,  the  Outline,    will  allow  you  to  edit  the  credits.  Click  Storyboard  if  you  just  want  to  just  get  on  with  making  the  trailer.

 Blue  areas  are  text  that  can  be  edited.  Click  to  replace  the  default  text.    

   

To  use  video  you  have  already  filmed…  • Click  on  a  storyboard  item  to  choose  a  video  clip.    

   

• Videos  already  stored  on  your  devices  will  be  shown  in  the  bottom  left.  Tap  one  that  is  long  enough.  Drag  your  finger  along  the  clip  to  preview  it.    

• When  you  reach  the  clip  that  you  want  to  use,  tap  the  blue  arrow  next  to  your  highlighted  section.  It’ll  fly  over  to  the  storyboard.  

 

Gray  items  are  those  that  require  video.      Note:  You  are  told  the  length  of  clip  needed  and  the  type  of  shot  that  would  be  best.  

Note:  clips  that  are  too  short  will  be  grayed  out

Note:  As  you  add  more  clips  to  the  storyboard,  sections  you’ve  already  used  will  be  indicated  with  a  luminous  orange  line.    

   To  record  video  in  iMovie…  

• Use  the  camera  button  to  open  up  an  embedded  recording  feature.    • When  using  the  built-­‐in  record  function,  you’re  given  a  3  second  lead-­in  

before  the  actual  clip  is  shot.  

 • You  can  edit  the  portion  of  the  clip  that  is  used  by  tapping  on  the  clip  after  

you  have  recorded  it.    Previewing  To  preview  how  the  movie  looks  so  far,  use  one  of  the  two  play  buttons.

Save  and  Share  • To  export  your  masterpiece,  save  it  to  the  camera  roll,  and  head  back  to  the

 • Select  the  share  icon  to  be  presented  with  these  choices:  

 

   

• Select  Share  Movie  to  Camera  Roll  and  select  the  export  size.    Medium  or  Large  file  sizes  produce  smaller  files  that  are  easier  to  upload  to  the  web.  Note:    It  may  take  several  minutes  to  compress  the  file  and  export  it  to  the  camera  roll.
