iMovie continues to be one of the most accessible and powerful editing programs available for free to all Apple/MacOS users. It is, however, notoriously intimidating to taking your first steps into the video editing world.
In this 1.5-hour workshop, Mike Mena will guide participants through the process of editing a video from beginning to end, privileging the needs of educators wishing to make lecture videos. Mike will verbally explain each step while his iMovie screen is “shared” through the Zoom platform. Participants will be able to ask questions, take notes, and walk away with the recording of the live video editing session.
Mike will cover the following:
- Trimming the beginning/end of video
- Cutting out mistakes, stumbles, and pauses
- Raising the volume of your video
- What are the important function “buttons”
- How to crop/re-size for video
- How to add a title-screen
- How to overlay text/keywords
- How to add pictures/PowerPoint slides
…and more.
Space is limited. Please reserve your spot by booking in the RSVP section below. Zoom details will be sent closer to the event.
Mike Mena is a PhD candidate in Linguistic Anthropology at the Graduate Center and focuses on how ideologies of race and language converge in ways that reproduce hierarchical arrangements and income inequality. He is currently conceptualizing a longitudinal ethnographic project on the neoliberalization of higher education in the United States. In 2019, Mena’s YouTube channel, The Social Life of Language, was recognized with the Society for Linguistic Anthropology’s “Public Outreach and Community Service Award.” The Social Life of Language continues to receive national and international recognition for its multi-modal pedagogical approach and as intellectually informed public activism.
