Clips and a frame grab: 720p HDV samples from iMovie HD
 

I've been without my HD10 for a while (JVC Service still has it) but I had to get the new iMovie anyhow.

The other day I threw a handful of pictures I took at the 2005 NAIAS (Detroit Auto Show) into a 720p iMovie test project.

Here is a super-short HDV sample (you need iMovie 5 and its Apple Intermediate Codec to view this one):

Here's a frame grab (not as nice as the actual frame because it's been compressed for the web):

This is an MPEG4 of the original AIC movie, at full 1280x720 resolution but at 1/50th the filesize of the original 200MB:

The music and SFX were composed in Soundtrack, with two more SFX elements added within iMovie. I added the flashbulb sound effect using Soundtrack Loop Utility.

Thanks man!
