Overall, I really found the Lynda.com tutorials beneficial. I am glad it was assigned. I have visited the site before, and thought wow, this is cool! But with every other project and home stuff to do I haven't had time to really watch through a whole lesson. Getting a certificate for it is pretty neat too. The final lesson I incorporated was the stabilization. Due to the fact that, I was taping the game on a small Flip video, there are a lot of shaky parts. When I uploaded the video to iMovie, I did put it through the stabilization mode, however several sections were still marked with the little red squiggle. In chapter 10 they showed how to click the show/hide button for the red squiggle located at the very bottom of iMovie. Before I could click it however, I had to call FSO to find out how to hide my "dock". I could see the button but could not get to it. If you want to hide your dock, the shortcut is command+option+d and it will disappear and reappear when you press it. It also said in the lessons that you should not use a lot of transitions, that professionals like straight cuts, but I like them and think they are pretty cool. I look forward to trying some more of these techniques. I took some notes and I do plan on revisiting a couple of lessons.
