This is my final post for my iMovie Practical Experience activity. The tutorial winds things into a tight package by including a separate video for exporting, sharing, publishing and finalizing your project as well as a few other helpful hints. 

There are many ways to get your movie out into the world. They all start with  the Share menu and you choose your path from there.

You should publish to the highest quality size available. You'll need to have an account on YouTube to publish there. When you publish your movie to your MobileMe Gallery you have options to password protect the file, hide the movie on your Gallery home page and allow your movie to be downloaded. When exporting to iTunes you'll get to choose mobile, medium, large, HD720p and HD1080p viewing output. The options showing are based on the original resolution of your video.

When you return to the Project Window you'll see icons in the upper left of the screen indicating the movie has been shared and where.

Something important to remember is this. If you are going to move your movie project to another hard drive and continue editing, the drive must be a Mac formatted drive. If it's not and you want to format it just select the drive from the Finder window on your Mac, click on it and select Erase. Also, remember not to click and drag your project to the other disk. This will COPY the file. You must hold the command/apple key while your are dragging in order to MOVE the project. If your clips are being used in other projects you'll want to choose Save Project and Events so you have all the necessary clips for each project.

Well, that wraps it up. So, are you ready to see what I've created? Ok, here's the YouTube link...<<click here

And now that I have completed this training not only do I have a professional and fun way to share my ideas, I've received a Certificate of Completion to hang on my wall.
