Digital Video Capture and Edit with iMovie HD 6.0.2

Project Management

Plan out your time and process before beginning the capture and edit. A few

major items to keep in mind:

1. Uncompressed digital video files (DV) are VERY large. You will not be

able to save the raw files for your project into any of your network spaces.

In most cases your raw files will not even fit on a CD.

Uncompressed digital video files (DV) require up to 3.5 MB of space for

every second of footage, thus:

• An empty CD-R will hold only about 2.5 minutes of uncompressed

DV clips

Therefore, it is advised you use an external hard drive to save your

materials. Small flash or travel drives are also not adequate for storing

video projects. Due to system specifications demanded by iMovie HD, it is

best to borrow one from the Equipment Loan Center (http://oit/eqloaning/)

2. Plan how you will use your finished movie before you begin. Poperly

compressed QuickTime movies can be played on the web, sent through

email, and posted to GLOW or Blackboard. Compressed QuickTime

movies that are under 3 minutes should be small enough to save to a

network space or to attach to an email message. Uncompressed, full-

quality DV can be burned to a standard DVD directly from iMovie using

iDVD
