You don't need to quit your job to free up enough time to create a powerful and moving video using iMovie. It can be done in about an hour if you have all the necessary media ready to go. Of course, you can spend as much time as you want developing fancy effects and endlessly tweaking the video. But if you want to create a powerful, heart melting music video or tribute piece, 3 to 10 minutes long, in about an hour, this class can help you. Sign up and learn the essential elements and techniques that are most useful for achieving this goal with fewer transitions and special effects. And also learn the one thing that every music video needs to be truly memorable.

This class focuses on creating effective music videos and short video tributes. We'll put less attention on the nuts and bolts of video editing in iMovie, and more on the essentials of composing the parts of an effective video using video clips, photos, music, text elements like Titles and credits, and a minimum of special effects. Duration: 2hrs

(If what you want or need is greater command over the fundamentals of video editing in iMovie and a good understanding of the interface, then take the 'iMovie First Steps' class instead.)
