Not sure if you have played around with the movie trailer functionality in iMovie 2011, but I believe the original poster's vision is similar to this.
Essentially iMovie provides an outline of the "production"; it requires you to fill in the actor names and makes suggestions for the different types of shots needed "Add a two second action shot here", "add a 3 second romantic shot here". Even the generic segway text is already in (but editable by the user).
The videos that the user chooses are perfectly synched with a pre-chosen orchestra background track. E.g. as the music tempo picks up, one of your action shots are chosen.
It really makes for a compelling end production; definitely check it out.
- fapi1974 16y agoI've been following the iMovie templates closely! Two things for me are that 1) Few people like using iMovie, and; 2) it isn't social. Those are two of my strongest hooks - this is something that doesn't require learning a tool, and you do it with your friends - it's participatory.
- Keyframe 16y agoI haven't played with it myself, but I've seen a video of a presentation of it - and that's something I had in my mind when I wrote that... I thought op was trying to do something similar, but online. A brave task with lots of work, but might be explosive if done right IMO.
