The course moves through lessons progressively increasing the complexity of the media you’re using. You start by learning about audio, then move to managing still images, printing still images, turning still images into moving dynamic images, and exploring the possibilities of video. With digital content and the four core applications (iTunes, Photo, iMovie, and Garageband), you can create everything from scrapbook photos to T-shirts, books, podcasts, dynamic content for web pages and even a feature film ready for production.
