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
main project screen by tapping the Back to projects button.
• 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.
