Imovie Videos

Short videos during a service can enhance the worship experience by giving the congregation additional information about a topic or event through the use of video and audio. This is especially appealing (and fun!) when these videos are done by the church itself. For those that have digital comcorders available and own Apple IMac systems, IMovie is an easy to use (and free) digital video editing application. It's very simple to take raw footage and enhance it with background music, narration, and dissolves/transitions to create a professional looking video :)

One thing to remember is to make certain that your lyric projection software supports the use of Apple QuickTime videos as several do not. An option is to convert the file saved in QuickTime to a standard video format such as mpeg or avi for projecting during the service.
