INFINITY...a short 45 second web commercial for websyncintl.com, created using a MacBook Pro...iLife (the old iMovie but new iDVD) Photoshop and Snapz Pro X...mixing the old with the new software does work.

“INFINITY”...and
www.websyncintl.com
....Today
I bring you “INFINITY” another
cool effect from this combination Aperture 2.1.1 - iDVD -
iMovie - Snapz Pro X and of course GarageBand but
with a little
twist. , I added Photoshop to
the list. This cool clip runs for about 45 seconds
and is a bit more complicated then the previous
ones...but so cool, using the old iMovie with some
3rd party plugins, adding some voice over and
flying balls...of course the Mac integration
played a big role here. However the technique is
the same using Snapz Pro X for the iDVD recording,
once that is done the possibilities are endless
and as mention before you can create some high
cool looking files for the TV too.
Click here or on the image
and travel to the Music Video/Podcast section to
play the clip, you might have to refresh
your Browser for the new clip to show,
enjoy. Stay tuned for the next GarageBand Mix
“Surfing
Blues” soon available on this blog.

Tip: iLife including Aperture 2 using the Themes from iDVD plus a little help from Snapz Pro X…of course the ever so cool GarageBand with iMovie, creating simple 15 and 30 second Video clips on the fly…or just having fun on the Mac
I only used a couple of Themes but in iDVD you have so many to choose from…try experimenting and you find there are a lot of cool things you can do. The Titles are: The Commercial - Our Marine Life - Tropical destination

How to do
it…open iDVD choose a Theme go to your
Media Browser and here you have your Aperture 2 library.
Pick a couple of images drop them into your iDVD
Theme and you almost there, if you using Snapz Pro X
choose the Movie option and record your iDVD theme.
Make sure you have the Drop Boxes enabled otherwise
they become part of your recording.
The rest is pretty much automatic, once Snapz Pro X
has finished the recording (depends on the lengths of
the clip) it prepared also a QT file for you, I
usually save them on my desktop easy to find later.
(This file can be from 50MB plus in size)
The only thing left to do is drag the Movie clip into
iMovie open your Media Browser for the Music and pick
anything you have created on to the timeline.
Fine-tune and make your soundtrack fit, add a fade in
and fade out, or what ever you like (lots to choose
from) now you can export everything to many different
file formats.
You have different options for exporting your Movie
file, there is also Share available. If you have
Quick Time Pro even better there you have all the
conversions you ever going to need, plus you can do
some editing too, but you have to have QT
Pro.
How long does this take…not very long at all, I guess
the hardest part is the Music, which I created from
scratch in GarageBand, but since I had already a good
selection of soundtracks the whole operation took
only one hour for all three clips.
Of course you can create more than one recording/clip
with Snaps Pro X and join them together later in
iMovie creating a short presentation or demo, great
for the web.
PS. I kept these files very small for easy viewing on
the web, however you can leave them in their original
size that is good enough for your desktop and TV.

The
other day Mark-Lee borrowed my small
Sony
Video Cam and
took some cool footage at this Disco… and I was
trying to relax that day after some editing in
Aperture
making up some more
soundtracks for future presentations. But honestly… I
was just messing around relaxing with
GarageBand
when I looked over to
the Mac my Son was working on…hey cool footage son,
please let me have some of this stuff…OK Dad... I
whipped it into iMovie and about half an hour later
had this little Video up and running.
It just gets to show you how easy it is sometimes…of
course you need to have a Mac where everything just
works so well together, including the transfer of the
Video file from his G5 to my PowerBook Pro via Wi-Fi
network, super fast...
Cant beat this
integration, he,he….plus NOW in
YouTube

By the way the
still shot at the start of the Video came straight
from the Aperture 2
Library using
the Media Browser
in iMovie,
the same with the Soundtrack created only hours
before in GarageBand.

My latest Podcast and Aperture
Part 2 “and then there was light”
AUPN and Aperture, and then there was Light.
I could not leave it alone and decided to create part two of “and then there was light” OK. have to admit, it is a bit larger about 17MB but I hope you like it, this one will play even on full screen size, this is a great way showing your work, burn it on a CD or make a cool DVD, and believe me, it is not that difficult. Check it out if you have the patience and down load it, either on your desktop or into your iTunes. Enjoy it, I really had a lot of fun doing it, same procedure than part 1 but have thrown in some images to spice it up.

As promised here is the short Pod cast from our Seminars at the Power Mac Center in Makati, Manila on the 25th and 26th of May. Photography, Aperture and the Web.
Thanks to my Assistant Hermes Singson for shooting some video behind the scene.
A quick edit in iMovie –then the music- which had been entirely created in GarageBand
from here to iWeb and it was done.
As mention during the seminars the total integration of iLife, Aperture, Keynote, Pages etc., etc. makes all of this possible in a very short time, besides it is a lot of fun.
Enjoy the Pod cast and don’t forget to subscribe for the latest news.
