Edited My Very First Video

February 6, 2008

Though I’ve owned a Mac for 6 months, I’ve never opened iMovie even once. I thought video editing was going to be hard work. I was so wrong. Anyway, I edited a clip of my housemate’s new pet hamster. His real name is Hama, but after we said we’d eat him (Calm down, PETA-wannabes. It’s called a JOKE!), we decided to nickname him Hamlette, which is Hamster + Omelette. By the way, the song is called “Aqua Alta Hiyori” by Choro Club, if anyone wants to know.

What do you think? Pretty professional-looking for first time, eh? *nudge nudge, wink wink* I even timed the frames with the music! And doesn’t the video make you want a Mac now? Oh c’mon, don’t deny it. You want one. You must have one! Yes, you do!

  4. You did much better than my first one using Movie Maker which took me 3 hours.

    But I still don’t like Mac.

  8. Hey Ivy, great job on the video! I find using Apple’s iMovie to edit movies as a breeze :) it never felt so easy! The last time I did it with Bill Gates’ lousy movie maker which have very (trust me, VERY) limited transitions and effects and stuff… iMovie just beats it hands down :D woots! Anyway the hamster is so cute, I can’t resist clicking replay everytime the video ends (okay I admit, not everytime, but at least three?)

    Anyway happy Chinese New Year! Have fun :D I don’t know whether is there holiday over there…
