Apple iMovie HD - Manual (Page 11)

Chapter 2 iMovie HD at a Glance 11
Main Window
Here’s the main iMovie HD window, your command console for movie editing. Here
you can view your movie, arrange scenes, edit clips, and add professional polish to your
movie. Let’s take a closer look.
A iMovie monitor: Watch your clips play in this window. You can play clips that are in the Clips
pane or the clip viewer.
B Scrubber bar: Drag the playhead along the scrubber bar to move through a clip frame by frame.
The number near the playhead indicates how far (minutes:seconds:frames) the selected frame is
into the movie.
C Mode switch: Click to switch between camera mode and edit mode. Use camera mode to choose
an input device and transfer your raw video into the computer. Use edit mode to work on your
movie.
D Playback controls: Use these controls to skip to the beginning of a selected clip, play or pause
the clip in the iMovie monitor, or play the clip full screen on your computer’s monitor.
E Volume slider: Slide this control to change the volume of the computer’s speaker while you work
in iMovie HD. This won’t change the recorded volume levels of your video or audio clips. You
make that kind of adjustment using the controls in the timeline viewer.
F Pane buttons: Click these buttons to see the different panes of the iMovie HD window. See a
description of each pane later in this chapter.
