Salisbury — Oct 26th 2011
We started off with the usual question and answer session and most of this centred around early experiences of iCloud but then Brian gave us an excellent presentation on iMovie. He showed us how to take a series of still photos but moving the subject slightly in each one and then stringing them together to make a short animated movie. Obviously the photography stage could be a bit time consuming and the smaller the subject movement in each one, the smoother the animation but the technique is deceptively simple. He showed us the various controls that iMovie has which can be used to speed up the film and hence make the animation smoother still. We then went on to look at adding transitions between photographs if you were just making a slide show rather than an animation. Altogether a brilliant 'taster' for those who had yet to experiment with iMovie.
