Race to Mackinac Video
A short video cobbled together from very few clips i managed to shoot with the Canon G9 while racing the “Mac” on Intuition (S2 9.2a). We took second place in the Cruising 2 Div.
Didn’t bother working with FCE, just used iMove which worked quite well once I got the hang of it. Although I’m still relativity new to editing video, I’ve normally used AfterEffects and Final Cut. I can see how the iMove interface could make editing easier to the casual user it’s marketed to. Hoverer, if you already have a foot (or more) in the more standard way of working, it’s actually a little frustrating at first. I have the same problem with point-and-shoot cameras. When people say “Hey, you’re a photographer, can you take our picture with my camera,” I usually have to ask them how it works.
It’s also curious that iMove has a nice anti-camera-shake filter that is missing from FCE (but returns in FCP). I’m not sure why they’d do that when the price jump to move from FCE to FCP is $800 while iMove is just $79.
