Grokking new iMovie

My first brush with the new iMovie was bumpy. I'm looking forward to taking another run at it, after watching the first of a two-part tutorial from from ScreenCasts Online.

ScreenCastsOnline is a weekly video podcast of computer based video tutorials. The video tutorials cover many different topics from week to week but predominantly cover mac related subjects. The video tutorials are in the form of "screencasts" which are basically videos of screen captures demonstrating a particular application or service, with a spoken commentary explaining what is happening on screen.

Don McAllister's easy-to-follow demo/tour was just what I needed. I'll still use iMovie HD (the previous version) for a lot of stuff, but when I need to throw something together quickly...

I can't recommend ScreenCastsOnline highly enough. It's a free podcasts but I recommend the Extra! membership ($50 a year).
