After you have finished collecting data on your planet you are ready to begin your
iMovie Planet Tour. Open up the program iMovie on your computer.
Make sure that you click on “file --> new project” in order to start your project.
Name your project. Do not use a preset iMovie theme.
Find images that you would like to include in your tour and put them into iPhoto. You
may want to create a folder to put in all your images of your planet.
Click and drag them into your project library. (Make sure that you put them into your
tour in the order that you want them to appear). In the lower right hand corner of the
page, there will be an image of a camera. This will bring your iPhoto library into the
program and you can then click and drag the photos into the media section of
iMovie.
Add a voice over narration (click on microphone and follow directions) to navigate
through your tour. You may need to lengthen the slide/image time. It is preset to 4
seconds, but by clicking on the little 4 near the slide, you can change the time. 8
seconds is suggested.
To add text, click on the “T” in the lower right hand corner near the camera icon.
Click and drag the type of text that you want over the clip that you want to have the
text. This is a great way to add facts to your tour.
Add transitions (rectangle with triangles icon in lower right) between images if you
have any extra time or you finish early.
When completely finished, save your iMovie to your flash drive. Make sure you also
save a copy to your teacherʼs flash drive. (“Share” --> “Export Movie” and click on
your flash drive).
