Creating a biography or book trailer with iMovie

Getting Your iMovie Started

1. Open up iMovie. Up top, you will see "File", and underneath that "New Project". Click that.
2. Choose your theme. This is optional. I sometimes click "no theme".

Putting Pictures On

1. Find pictures on Google, or take pictures outside. (www.freerangestock.com, www.morguefile.com and www.sxc.hu are great free places to look). Right click and click "Add image to iPhoto library".
2. On the right side of iMovie, you will see a camera beside a music note and T. Click the camera. Find your picture, and drag it to the left side of the screen. 

Adding Text

1. To add text, click T and have fun from there!
2. You can either drag the text to a picture from iPhoto or you can use one of the preset iMovie backgrounds.

Adding Music

1. To make your iMovie better, add some music from your iTunes library! Click the music note, and drag the song you want.
2. You can start and stop the music wherever you want (if the chorus is the part you want, use that) Click the settings button and then "Clip Trimmer"

Upload on YouTube

1. Click "share" up top.
2. Click "YouTube".
