IMPORTING VIDEO CLIPS INTO iMOVIE 11
Before you can edit your footage you must import it into the computer.
To start importing footage, do the following:
1. Click on the Camera Mode icon to make sure iMovie 11 is in Camera Mode (Figure 3).
2. Depending on the type of camera being used the display will vary slightly. When using a mini DV camera
the Camera Mode will need to play through selected clips in real-time to capture (Figure 4a). Flash
memory cameras have a different window interface (Figure 4b) which displays whole clips as they were
captured in camera. Since the ash memory camera writes these videos to les directly, real-time capture
is not necessary.
3. Set the switch on the left to Automatic if you want iMovie to log the clips for you.
4. To manually capture using a mini DV camera, click the Capture button to start importing and stop
to end that particular clip. You can use the VCR controls on the camera to move the tape to where you
would like to import it. To manually capture using a ash memory camera, click the check box below each
clip that you wish to import and select Done.
5. When you capture/import your clips, it will ask you to add the clips to an existing event, or to create
a new event You will also have an opportunity to select whether you would like iMovie to apply image
stabilization, search for people within clips or both by using the drop down menu next to the check box
labeled After Import Analyze for. If you would like to use this feature, be sure you check the check
box and select what option you would like iMovie to apply it to your video. (Figure 5).

6. When you have reached the end of your footage, click the Done button to stop importing.
