Digital Video. It's funny the difference in perspective on digital video between platforms. A colleague of mine in faculty support for our campus recently indicated to me that a large portion of PC users actually feel that importing, editing, and exporting digital video to the web is so complicated that it cannot be accomplished with the help of trained professionals in our campus IT department. Isn't that sad? You purchase a personal computer for thousands of dollars, a machine with silicon chips powerful enough to add Hollywood-style effects to your most treasured moments, compress hours of video in a matter of minutes and remain totally hostage to the complexity of the software necessary to do it. I don't buy it. Digital video is language of our generation. Examples abound of students with little to no knowledge of video production creating incredible results in a matter of days. For over five years Apple's iMovie software has been allowing even elementary school kids to manipulate digital video like Legos. So, for those skeptical of how ridiculously easy digital video can be, I want to point out the awesome array of online iMovie Tutorials created just for you. I want to encourage you to take a trip to a local Apple Retail Store, play around with iMovie firsthand, and decide for yourself how easy/hard digital video can be. This is not a PC versus Mac thing. Technology is the art of making the impossible possible. And iMovie is great technology.
