1. In the General section of the Preferences dialog box, you will see choices in the
Display: section for iMovie to Display short time codes, (this option turned on
displays a little time code stamp in the upper-left corner of a movie identifying the
length of the clip in minutes: seconds: frames); Play sound when export
completed; Automatically start new clip at scene break; and Show locked audio
only when selected (iMovie allows you to lock an audio clip in the bottom two
tracks so that it always begins at a set point in a video clip, even if you move the
video clip).
2. iMovie 4 offers some new options in the section labeled Timeline: here in the
General preferences: Show audio track waveforms; Keep playhead centered
during playback; and Enable Timeline snapping and Play snap sounds.
3. In the Advanced section of the Preferences dialog box, you will see a choice about
where newly-imported clips are to be placed: in the Clips Pane or in the Movie
Timeline. Here you will also see the option New projects are: NTSC or PAL (NTSC
is the format for movies in the United States while PAL is the European format.)
4. In the Advanced section, you can choose the Playback quality: High quality (better
image), Standard quality (smoother motion), Enhanced video playback.
5. Under Other settings: Extract audio in paste over (This refers to the fact that
when you paste new video over an existing video clip in iMovie, the audio in the first
video clip is automatically retained. If you want to replace the original audio with the
audio contained in the clip you are pasting, select this default setting before you
paste the video); Filter audio from camera (The default for this setting is off;
turning it on may cause sound buzzing problems that last the length of your movie
when the movie is exported into QuickTime. (Warning: If you have buzzing audio in
your video after you import it into iMovie, be aware that turning off this preference
only affects future footage you import into your camera, not the footage you already
imported so you will need to import the footage again); and Play video through to
camera (This preference allows you to play your iMovie simultaneously on your
camera and in the iMovie monitor)
7. Click on the close button in the top-left corner to close the Preferences dialog box
and have iMovie save your choices.
