Wow!  That's really nice quality footage just using the iPad built in camera.  Seems to do pretty well in even relatively low light.  Plus, that shop has some really cool stuff!  Great work on this Rick!  Love it!

What's the megapixel count on that back camera again?  Can it do HD video??

Off the top of my head I believe it can pull off 720p.

Thanks for taking the Video Rick, looked awesome, Don sure stocked up since I was there. All that Vintage looked amazing, I could see why he was excited about some of those figures like Yakface. Saw he had a Blue Snaggletooth as well. Very cool.

720 x 1028.   So yeah I could have exported in iMovie. In hd but it would have taken longer

The instruction manual in iMovie isn't too bad either, it's how I learned to do some of the stuff in my vid.

Is iMovie on the Ipad much different than iMovie on the Mac computers? Cause I know it's pretty simple on the Macs.

I doubt it.  It's probably the same, to me it's at least easier to pick up than Sony Vegas was.  *shudder*.

But it also offers way less options than the bigger desktop clients like Final Cut or Sony Vegas.

Yeah I could never use it for videos cause I always wanted to do more than it could handle. I'll say this for Final Cut that it's not easy to learn. You'll spent the first few days having no idea what you're doing with it, but once you figure it out it's pretty awesome.

I'm just very impressed with the quality.  What file format export features are available in iMovie?  Also, how much storage on the iPad did your raw video take up Rick?

We have one - it's called Tech Topics.  Rick just posted this video here since it was a finished video he just happened to do with his iPad 2.

The format I sent to you .Mov is the only format that it can be exported from the app.  It can also be sent to Facebook, YouTube and other similar sites.

Yeah we have gotten a little off topic by how impressed we all are by the iPad's video capabilities, and who wouldn't be?

I just did a little reading up on iMovie.  Looks like you can move video to something called the Camera Roll and when you sync your iPad with iTunes on your PC the video will be there.  Of course you might still have to convert the file for other uses. 

Anyway, yeah, spinning into an iMovie, iPad tech talk.  I still love the video Rick.  I also was thinking it's good that store is not near me.  I'd be in there a lot buying stuff up!  I liked the Chiana "Farscape" toy. :)

Nah we need an Apple section. It's the second most popular topic on the forums! ;)

Rico, let me check the file size on this.  I'm not sure.  I know that soon, I will have an adapter to put my HD video from my other cameras into projects in Imovie.  Looking forward to that.

Ok, thanks Rico- I did some checking, exported my video to camera roll, a section on  my ipad, and it made it an mp4.  I also can upload it to Youtube and then download it.  That made it 58 megs.  The original file was 1.2 gigs.  I'm now trying to just pull it from the ipad.  We willl see!

Not sure how to do that with a PC, but with the Mac, once you connect the iPad, or iPhone, or iWhatever, to the Mac, you can import the files into iPhoto. I would imagine there's some sort of photo/video filing system on the PC as well, right?

*snorts*.  Cmon, that'd be giving them too much credit.  

No, we do have "libraries" that we can put docs, pics, videos and music into.  But that's just folders really.  Actually, you have to manually pull the photos from your iDevice onto the computer, there is no automatic system for the Windows system.

Rick, go to "My Computer" then iPad (it has to be connected), then click through the folders, you'll find your stuff.

Hmm, might try checking the iPad Guide in your Safari Browser Bookmarks.  But yeah, that's pretty hidden.  I'm hoping iTunes 11 fixes that glaring lack of import/export feature for Windows.

So, you can just access content on your iPad via iTunes?
Title: Re: Star Wars Shop via the Ipad with Imovie
Post by: QuadShot on May 10, 2011, 03:33:52 PM
Rico, pretty much. Of course, you have to set it up in iTunes to sync the items, just like with podcasts and stuff.

Rick...if you go to the iBooks app on the iPad, then go to the iBook Store, then search for iPad2, you'll find a free book to download that's pretty useful.

Yeah, the store looks and works great on the iPad.  You can also access your own personal iTunes library via your local wifi too on the iPad/iPhone.
