Appendix D. Visual Cheat Sheet
iMovie, as you’ve probably gathered, is completely different from any other program you’ve seen before—including previous versions of iMovie. You’ll find it filled with handy visual cues as to what’s going on. But, especially at first, learning all those cues can seem like a full-time job.
iMovie is teeming with thin banners over and under your filmstrips (in green, blue, or purple); horizontal colored lines drawn right across them (in red, green, and orange); little white “badges” huddled in the corners of filmstrips; faint corner badges that appear only when you point to a filmstrip; gigantic green or purple bubbles lying behind your entire project map; and on and on.
You practically need a cheat sheet to remember what they’re all for—and here’s where you’ll find it.
