Once you've captured your videocast, you'll probably want to edit it. Importing directly into iMovie HD tends to make a mess of things, so here's a great workaround from Addison Berry:
- Make screencap.
- Open iMovie and create a new project.
- Quit iMovie (the whole app, not just the project).
- Go into Finder and browse to the project.
- Click the Open Package button that appears in the file info, or right-click and select "Show Package Contents".
- Go to the Media folder and copy your screencap into it.
- Open iMovie back up. It will reopen your project (if not, go ahead and open the project you created).
- While opening the project it will alert you that there is trash and ask if you want to view it. Say yes.
- Drag your screencap out of the trash can and into the iMovie clips area.
- Edit away.
N.B. This technique does not work for iMovie 08. If you have iMovie 08, iMovie HD 6 is a free download from Apple at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/imovieHD6.html
