Editing 

Editing is done by a series of moves that the instructor calls linear editing. This is that each clip is selected in sequence and added to the timeline. The main difference is that in non-linear editing systems like iMovie, we can move clips around. iMovie also has more preset features for creating stories based on footage being edited. I also liked the movie trailer feature that allow a trailer be created in a few short moves from themes in iMovie. 

Music, pictures, text, transitions and animations can be added from the interface to the timeline. These additions give my project pro like features without the editing required in Final Cut. The advanced tab located in the middle of the screen was used to speed up editing and give user more control over the clips. For example selecting clips to move on the timeline 

Conclusion

 The final step is to publish my movie. This can be done from the interface that will do all the work. Share menu has options for iTunes, MobileMe, iDVD, Youtube, Facebook, Vimeo, CNN, Movie and Quicktime. This choose is up to me. I can also do all. This makes iMovie a great choose for anyone beginning video editing. It is fast and user friendly with themes and easy to use options to make each project a masterpiece. There is also a feature that transfers the footage or finished movie to XML file that can be used in Final Cut. I think this will be how I can move between the two programs. As I mentioned sometimes I can use iMovie for productions but when I need extra editing features I can export to XML file and import into Final Cut.
