I generally use the same old applications day in day out and the usual suspects are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Photoshop<\/li>\n<li>PageSpinner<\/li>\n<li>Firefox<\/li>\n<li>Mail<\/li>\n<li>Netfinder<\/li>\n<li>Word<\/li>\n<li>FileMaker Pro<\/li>\n<li>MoneyDance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p> and maybe a few things like iTunes, some OS X Dashboard Widgets and SuperDuper! to back everything up each day.<\/p>\n<p>However, this weekend I have had chance to &#8216;play&#8217; with a few of the iLife applications that came with my new version of the Mac OS. I decided it was time to make some DVD&#8217;s from the miniDV tapes we have recorded on Anna&#8217;s Camcorder. iMovie HD was therefore my first port of call. It took a while to get iMovie to &#8216;see&#8217; the camcorder but once it did all was plain sailing. Instead of making my own movies I decided the first thing to do was to simply copy everythin from the tape onto a DVD using the Make a Magic Movie option&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>How easy was that?? OK, it took longer than I was expecting but it imported all the clips from the camcorder, applied a theme to the movie, created a title sequence and a meu of all the clips, then sent it to iDVD encoded everything and burned the DVD for me&#8230; I then stuck the DVD into the DVD player attached to the TV and it worked perfectly. Even with my DualCore 2Ghz PowerMac it took a few hours in total meaning I didn&#8217;t get time to really play with any of the apps myself, but now that I have a copy of all the clips on DVD my next task will be to make mini-movies from the best clips within iMovie HD and then make a DVD from those.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, I&#8217;m sure these applications are a little dumbed down and only provide limited options for real video-editing, but the results are good and for DVD of your home video they are ideal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is rare that I get to &#8216;play&#8217; with some of the more creative applications on my computer.
