iMovie Hands-on

• Create a new movie in iMovie
• Import the audio and video background. Adjust their length to the same.

• Go to Titles, select and drag a title that can indicate the name of artist, song, etc

• You may want to zoom in a little bit in this step. Select another style of title, which only contains a single type of font. Drag it to the track, replace the context with lyrics, adjust its length. Repeat for each line of your lyrics.

• That’s it. For a 3-minute song, it only took me no more than 10 minutes to edit. The final iMovie project looks like this:

• Export (share) your movie. It’s suggested to export a higher resolution & quality for future sharing.
