IPhone :: Launch At SB Apple Store - Shot & Edited (iMovie Tips & Tricks)
Jun 26, 2010
This was shot and edited in 720p entirely on an iPhone 4 using iMovie. I received my iPhone 4 in the mail a day early and my friend didn't want to go wait for his alone, so I decide to go along and document the entire event with my new iPhone's HD camera. (Some of those in line were noticeably annoyed at my use of the new phone while they waited, but I tried to conceal it as much as possible). We got to the Santa Barbara State Street Apple Store around 5:30am and were about 25th in the reservation line. I had a ton of fun, and am so glad I went, Apple really knows how to release a product, maybe next time I'll just reserve it rather than get it shipped. EDIT: So I learned some tricks while editing that I thought I should share those for others playing around with iMovie
I typically work within Final Cut Pro when editing video, so going into iMovie I was met with several limitations, but I figured out a few workarounds for most of the issues I faced: Titles remain over an entire clip, so if you want titles just to appear at the beginning of a clip, (Like seen at the very beginning of my video) you must trim the end of a clip to the length you wish. Then import that same clip again, and trim the beginning to the length of your first clip. Make sure you remove the crossfade as well......
I was hoping we could setup this little thread to fill each other in on tips and tricks that aren't covered in the manual. For example, when I have my alarm set and set on alarm only for ringer, the alarm is so freaking loud it gives me a heart attack in the morning. Is there any way to turn it down before I set it? Since the ringer is set for alarm only I can not control the volume that way. Just wondering if there was a way to make it softer. Also, when its powered on and charging is there any way to get rid of the annoying little beep when it becomes fully charged? Hearing that at 2AM isn't fun. Again, I have the phone set to Alarm only and it still does that.
At WWDC they made it sound like iMovie for iPhone 4 was the only way to edit and export movies shot on the iPhone 4. Is it possible to export the 720p video to the Mac or do I have to use iMovie for iPhone 4?
So, usually there's a thread organizing hidden features, tips and other changes found in the latest iOS. Here it is for 4.0. To not duplicate effort, here are links to many articles that go over the major features of iOS 4.
Does anyone know where to find the new iMovie app on the app store? I do have the iphone 4 but I can't seem to find the app unless it's not released yet but Engadget did use it in their review.
Apple and ATT have really messed up this release with the iPhone 4. First no statement about the iPhone 4 and now there canceling peoples contracts giving stupid excuses. How didnt the have time to ramp up the production. If im right wasnt gizmodos prototype which was basically a finished product come out about 3 months ago? Why not have enough for launch day? Wow apple can atleast explain about the white iPhone.
Anyone have similar experience? I preordered 2 16GB Blacks on @ 5:15am yesterday. I received email confirmation on both Apple IDs I used, however, my store (Oak Brook, IL) does not show my reservation on the main website, but does confirm my reservation on the iPhone App? Is this sufficient backup to secure my phone on the 24th?
I made a purchase for a black bumper and paid $31.60 but when I go to the Apple.com website to check the status of my refund its shows "There is no record of a refund for the receipt number you entered." I tried entering my receipt number plus last 4 of card and I also tried just entering the full CC number as well and get that response for both.
Just wanting to know if anyone has possibly experienced before, wanted to to see if any Macforum members have had this issue and what was the resolution to your issue? Should I just call Apple? Are they giving refunds in store if you take in your receipt?
i am using Nokia E7 with symbia Anna, and unfortunately i unistalled Nokia Store from my device by this the store icon from menu has removed. Then I install the store app again on my device but i unable toh launch it as the store widget is missing..
all of a sudden I no longer can launch Music Store - i click on the icon and I get a light blue screen with no details that stays for about 10 seconds then disappears and the app does not launch?
Tonight Im getting an LG Neon (TE365 i believe) from Rogers, and Im wondering if anyone knows any tricks or anything interesting I could do with the phone. Anyone?
I'm currently on T-mobile but I have an Iphone that is within its warranty, If I bring it into apple to try to exchange it for a refurb or new one within the warranty period if something happens to it, will I need to have an activated att sim or can I go in there simless or with with an unactivated att sim?
I will be on vacation in Virginia during the IPhone 4 release. I live in Ohio, and have an Ohio phone number. I am current owner of an iPhone 3GS. Can I buy an IPhone 4 from a Virginia Apple Store, and have my current account changed to it?
Haven't used in-store pickup during previous launches, but may this time. Does anyone know if you have to specify the store for pickup at the time that you preorder? Asking as I will be on vacation on the June 24 launch date, and would like to ensure I can receive that day.
I don't know if its just me but the Apple Online Store is redirecting me to Google now. Apple.com works fine for me, its just store.apple.com. Is this happening to anyone else? Maybe they're putting in the iPhone 4 preorder stuff.
just got off the phone with Apple Store The Grove (in LA) the lady told me, just because I have a reservation for the phone, it doesn't guarantee me from getting the phone. I'd still have to go wait in the line. Even the people that don't have the reservation could be in front of me as long as they get there earlier than me.
AND, according to that "genius", Apple store don't give you discount on iphones even with you are suppose to get it with early upgrade. So, if you want to get an iphone from the store, you are paying full price.
I called-up my local Apple store and asked if they would be getting another shipment of iPhone 4s on Friday if they sell out on Thursday. The manager (who I was speaking with) said that they would probably get another shipment at the end of NEXT week. Can anyone confirm this with their local Apple store? I have been phone-less for about a week now and can't afford another week.
I went to my local Apple Store in Jacksonville, FL. I went to take back my Apple Bumpers, I had 2 of them. They gave me my money back. Me and my wife had purchased 2 cases at Best Buy. I saw a Retail Associate, I said mam, do yall have any cases for the iPhone 4? She said NO, with a tone, we only carry bumpers, with a tone, a bumper is all you need. It was like she read a script to me.
I bought my iPhone at the ATT store on June 29th.. Since then I got a replacement. Will I be able to return my iPhone at the Apple store despite buying it at the ATT store and it being a replacement iPhone? WIll my two year contract be canceled as well?
I know that unlocked iPhone 4's are out of stock all over UK right now. I'll be visiting London on 13th of September for 5 days. Do you think, Apple Stores will have constant stock by then? I mean, will I be able to walk in and buy 2 iPhones?
After trying all day i finally got through on the Apple website. I wanted to do a store pick up. After picking my plan (I am an existing AT&T customer) it said can not pre order online please visit a store. Then let me pick from 3 local stores. I picked one and it sayed bring government id on June 24th. Did it go through? I am I suppose to get a confirmation. Can I check? Was I suppose to put money down?
How often do you think the Apple stores will get in new stock? I was not going to wait in line and dont want to wait till mid July to get one. Should I try an ATT store or just keep checking the Apple store and hope to getlucky? Or is mid July my best bet?
