Click on the CATALOG tab //** CREATING A VIDEO REVIEW IN iMOVIE using the Green Screen Effect. //This guide was developed by Andree Anderberg, librarian at Hawthorne and Jefferson Schools; and Laura Trapp, librarian at Rossiter School.// ** **
 * **// Click on Resource Lists on the left-hand task pane. //**
 * **// Click on Add List at the top right. //**
 * **// Give your list a name and add notes if you like. //**
 * **// Should this list be public? //**
 * **// Now search and add titles to this list. //**
 * ** FYI - Look at any //Public Lists// that may exist on your school's Destiny website. **
 * //** Be sure you are using iMovie '09 - the other one doesn't have the green screen effect.  **//
 * ** Go to //iMovie-Preferences//. Click on //General//. Click //Show Advanced Tools//. (This will allow the //Green Screen// option to pop up at the right time. **
 * ** Using Title Peek (Go to the book's record in Destiny and click on the cover of the book), copy a picture of your book cover and get it into iPhoto. (You can drag it right from Title Peek to the iPhoto icon, the little camera, in the dock.) **
 * **Start a new project in iMovie 09**
 * ** Click the camera icon (next to the music notes) to look for your book cover in iPhoto. Drag it up to the left to put it in your project. **
 * **Hover your mouse over the top left of the cover icon to find the crop sign. Double click it, then click FIT on the right side. This makes the whole book cover show up.**
 * ** Hover your mouse over the bottom left of the cover icon, click the sun sign and choose //Clip Adjustments//. Here you can specify the length of your clip. **
 * ** Film your video in front of a green screen. Tip: imagine the book cover behind you and plan your frame accordingly. Using green butcher paper is fine, but you should be in a well-lit room with no shadows on your screen. **
 * ** Select and drag your film clip directly on top of the book cover in he project widow. When the pop up menu comes up, choose //Green Screen//. **
 * **Edit and fine tune your video as you please.**
 * WHEN YOU ARE READY TO EXPORT your iMovie for upload to Destiny:
 * ** Go to //Share// and choose //Export Using QuickTime//. Save it to the desktop so you can find it. **


 * ** In Destiny, find the title in the catalog and use the Digital button to upload your movie. (Your librarian will be happy to do this for you!) **


 * ** These reviews don't show up on the Review tab. Instead, a link is created at the bottom of the Explore! section on the Title Details page. **

CREATING A VIDEO REVIEW USING A FLIP CAMERA **
 * ** Film a book review using the flip camera. **
 * ** Plug the camera into the computer - the first time you do this the camera will load software onto your computer called Flip Share. **
 * ** In Flip Share you can edit your video, if needed. **
 * ** If you choose list view in the upper right corner you can easily name your clip. **
 * ** Right click on your video and choose //Export To// (or click the link next to the clip) to save your video on your computer or memory stick. You can export multiple videos at once. **
 * ** Your librarian can upload the video from here. **
 * Be sure to log out when finished! This is especially important on school computers. **
