Let’s say you’ve filmed something. You’ve captured some video on your camcorder, digital camera, phone, or Flip, or maybe you’ve just assembled some videos on your hard drive. Now it’s time for the heart of this book: editing your footage using iMovie on the Mac. This chapter introduces you to iMovie and its importing window, which slurps up video from tape camcorders, tapeless camcorders, and old iMovie projects. It can also record video live, in real time, from a camcorder or an iSight video camera.
