Mac OS X Tiger Video Tutorial for Newbies

This series is intended for Mac OS beginners who have just started using Mac OS or transferred from Windows operating system. These video tutorials cover basic functions of Mac OS X in general. And all the video tutorials in this series will be delivered with a resolution of 1080 x 675 pixels plus sounds and audio commentary.

Applications: QuickTime and QuickTime Pro, QuickTime Components

Applications: iDVD & iMovie

We are using the PowerPC version of iDVD 6.0.3 and iMovie 6.0.3.

This series consists of 10 video tutorials that will help you develop your own DVDs with little knowledge about video compression.  The first three tutorials go over some of the basic functions of iMovie.  The goal of this video tutorial series is to have you develop your own DVD easily and quickly with Apple’s iDVD 6.  We have two sets of videos (or two titles) sitting inside our hard disk drive.  We use iMovie to lay chapter markers and then export these two titles to iDVD.  Eventually, we will develop our own DVD.

Note: Throughout these video tutorials, we use several movie clips from our Motion video tutorials to develop our own DVD.  In actuality, whether the video format is DV, HDV or MPEG-4, the desktop screen is not a good material to use for DVD.  Unless it’s fairly zoomed in, the desktop screen is not a good DVD material especially for full-screen viewing because of video artifacts.

Click on the button to preview the sample DVDs we have created in conjunction with this video tutorial series.   Click on the button for iDVD 6 Q & A.

Application: GarageBand

We are using the PowerPC version of GarageBand 3.0.4.

Application: Motion

We are using the PowerPC version of Motion 2.0.1 and 3.0.1.

This 4-part series will briefly show you what Apple's Motion is.  The purpose of this series is only to give you an overview of, again, what Motion is, and then it is not designed to give you any training for this application.

Application: Final Cut Pro

We are using the PowerPC version of Final Cut Pro 5.0.4 and 6.0.1.

This series is intended for those who have just started using Final Cut Pro 6 without prior experience in digital video editing and need some guidance.  We, MacHouse, edit more than 200 videos each year, using Apple Final Cut Pro. So we can help you.

This is for offline editing. That is, we assume that all video clips are stored on a hard disk drive.  So we don’t import videos from video cameras.
