IP 10 iMovie intro project #2 - Titles and Transitions

iMovie project #2 – Titles and Transitions

1. Using the + sign in your iMovie project area, create a new iMovie project and call it “Titles and Transitions.”

2. Select 10 different related photos from Google Image search (go to www.google.ca and select the “Images” tab at the top of the webpage). Once you have typed in your search command (i.e. “Flower photography”), click on “Large” under “Any size” on the left column. This will ensure that your photos are high resolution and will look nice and un-pixilated within your iMovie presentation.

3. Drag all 10 of your full-sized photos to the desktop, one by one, and then drag into your iMovie presentation.

4. Set the Ken Burns effect on each picture to your liking.

5. Using the “ T ” menu in iMovie (near the middle of the right side of your screen), select at least three titles to place overtop of at least three of your photos. Drag and drop them, then click to edit. (Note: If a “Show Fonts” menu appears above your photo, you have the ability to edit your fonts, sizes, and colours. If it does not appear, you are using a template that cannot be modified.)

6. Using the box with shaded triangles in it (near the Titles menu), select a different transition to use in between each photo. Drag and drop the transitions of your choice in between each slide in your project area.

7. Once you are happy with your titles, transitions, and Ken Burns effects, proceed to the exporting process.

Save your iMovie as “Lastname, First initial Titles Trans” and hand in to the IP 10 drop box.
