CHAPTER 16 iLIFE ‘08<br />

Figure 16-4. Importing video from a Mini DV camcorder<br />

When you have finished creating your new movie, iMovie allows you to export it into a<br />

wide range of formats, plus you can use iDVD to create DVDs directly from your finished movie<br />

projects.<br />

If you dig around, there are a number of additional tweaks you can make, but really this is<br />

designed for quick-and-easy movies. If you crave more control, your iMovie projects can be<br />

imported into Final Cut Express or Pro for additional touches.<br />

iWeb ’08<br />

iWeb ’08 is an application that allows you to easily create theme-based web pages and web sites<br />

with a WYSIWYG, layout-based interface (Figure 16-5).<br />

To begin creating a web site with iWeb, you first select a theme from one of the many available<br />

themes in iWeb. Each theme also contains a number of page templates, including a Welcome<br />

page (usually the first page you want to start with), and special templates for blogs, movies, photos,<br />

podcasts, and more.<br />

NOTE iWeb is both easy to use for quickly creating nice template-based web sites, and<br />

extraordinarily inflexible if you wish to truly customize a web experience. That is to say it’s a<br />

great tool for people who wish to build a web site without the need for learning HTML, CSS,<br />

and other web creation technologies, but if you are used to tools like Dreamweaver, Coda, or<br />

BBEdit, then iWeb probably won’t be of much interest to you.
