More iMovie Experimentation And YouTube Uploads

March 27th, 2009 Greg Smith No comments

I’m continuing to practice with movie editing in iMovie ‘09 and I’m starting to become much more skilled with the interface. iMovie ‘09 8.0.1 came out yesterday and made some significant improvements, not only to stablility which are noticeable, it also added some features. TidBits more information on all the new features but one welcome improvement is the addition of HD uploads in the YouTube uploader.

I’ve uploaded my first HD video using iMovie ‘09. The video is of the City of Rio Rancho’s 2008 4th of July fireworks as seen from my roof. It was taken from my Canon G9 and although not true HD looks pretty good. Be sure to view the HD version by clicking the HD button in the video controller.

The 4th in Albuquerque

July 5th, 2003 Greg Smith Comments off

The 4th of July was pretty uneventful for me. This year I sat on my roof and watched whatever fireworks were going off. The best display was at the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta grounds, which I got on video.

Because of the recent fires in the Bosqe, there has been a big crack down on illegal fireworks. Didn’t stop people in my neighborhood though as I saw several fireworks going off that exceeded the requirements. They were fun to watch, I was just worried that someone was going to catch something on fire. Luckily there were no fires around my house.

What does Bosque mean, I found the following:

Early Spanish explorers bestowed the name Bosque (pronounced boss-kee) meaning “wooded.”

So there you have it, it means a woods.
