This weekend I had a chance to go to a Gundam event in Japan where they're exhibiting a life-size Gundam. And it was a great opportunity for me to test out taking video with an iPhone 3GS.
After coming home, I wanted to see how easy it was to do some editing with the videos on my Mac. The entire process went rather smooth, but the steps involved might not be intuitive and apparent at first. So in a nutshell, here are the basic steps to edit your iPhone 3GS videos in iMovie '09 on a Mac.
- Connect your iPhone and open iPhoto '09.
- In iPhoto, you will see your iPhone under devices. (Just to be clear, the name of your device will show up under device. I just happen to named my device "iPhone 3GS".)
- Import everything. After it's finished, select if you want to delete or keep the photos on your iPhone.
- Open up iMovie '09. And under your event library, you'll see iPhoto Videos. There's you'll be able to find the movies you just imported from your iPhone.
- Now you can create a new project and drop your iPhone movies in, and add some transitions and music.
- After you're all done. Send it off to YouTube all within iMovie. Pretty slick!
Here's my edited video. Enjoy =)
