Stabilizing Clips with iMovie 11
So, I'm using iMovie 11 on my MacBook Air to try to make a video. It's pretty painful, mainly because I've never used iMovie before. OK. I used it once before, but that was last year, and yeah.
I now have red squiggly lines on my video clip, so I think that means I successfully analyzed the video for image stabilization. The inspector says "Analyzed. Add clip to project to apply."
So, I drag the "Event" (the video at the bottom) to the "Project" (the top left part of the screen).
Now, I do see, in the far upper left-hand corner of the video in the project, an orange hand.

Hand with orange background: The clip is partially stabilized and required extra zooming, so some areas of your video may be cropped out.
Yeah, and it's zoomed in so far that the video is pretty much pointless. Nice.
Now, I select the clip in the Project, and double click it to open the inspector. Now, I turn off the stabilization in the inspector.
