Best introductory documentation/tutorial for iMovie 10

iMovie 10.0.4 on 10.9.4 (iMac mid-2011).
iMovie has always been one of those Apple programs that I thought I knew how to use; but - now I suddenly have to do a fairly simple project 'for real' in it - find that I actually don't!
Anyone got any recommendation, please, on really good tutorials, introductory documentation etc for iMovie 10 - ideally free videos?
Thanks!

Is there an understandable and practical tutorial for iMovie 11 or 10? Heck, Apple doesn't even know what it is!

When will we get a tutorial for iMovie 11?

I have had to revert to iMovie 9 due to the lack of training for the new iMovie 11. I am sure that this new program is cool but I don't really have the time to explore and find out how it works. The tutorial for iMovie 9 was terrific and I don't understand why they would do an upgrade without a re-do of the tutorial, not up to Apple standards!

Best datafile management practices for iMovie

I work across two different machines (my desktop and my laptop) on iMovie Projects. My desktop has nearly all of my video stored on a 6TB external drive, but when I travel and want to bring along a project with me on a portable 2 TB drive. And then when I return, I want to be able to move the updated project back to my desktop and the 6 TB drive.
I will want to also be able to bring along all of the related event files so I can add or change video content, if need be.
One of the problems is variious resources tend to disappear (music from my iTunes libary and video clips and or pictures from Aperture)
So my question is what is the best approach to this problem.
Suggestions?

You are asking really good questions.

Is file management using Final Cut Pro any easier? How large is the learning curve for Final Cut Pro?
File Management is quite similar in Final Cut Pro X, but you have additional options. The paradigm of Events, Projects, and Archives is the same. You have more ability to use keywords, and more ways to search through your events. You can also rename clips for your convenience. You can't rename clips in iMovie without messing up the date metadata.
The learning curve is fairly large for Final Cut Pro. The basic interface is similar to iMovie, but at every stage you have many options and much more control. At minimum, you would want to get a good book on FCP, and you might invest in some of the video training that is available from Ripple Training or Larry Jordan.
If all you need is to make simple movies of 25 minutes or less, iMovie may be plenty. If you need more, the Final Cut Pro X is a great product.
It might be analogous to going from iPhoto to Aperture and Photoshop. It is doable, but some training helps.
Here are some of the key differences...
1) iMovie uses Apple Intermediate Codec as the editing codec. Final Cut Pro uses ProRes 422 as the editing codec. (There are also more exotic flavors like ProRes 444, for the times when you need alpha channel in your video).
Apple Intermediate Codec is OK for iMovie, because in iMovie, you will only render a clip once, and the render is done when you Share your project. Final Cut Pro is capable of making much longer movies with complex effects. You might do multiple renders on a clip, so it is important to have a codec that maintains high fidelity to the original even through multiple renders. ProRes 422 that codec. In addition, Apple Intermediate Codec uses a 4-2-0 colorspace while ProRes uses a 4-2-2 colorspace. I am not an engineer, but this means potentially more accuracy and more colors available.
2) Final Cut Pro makes it easy to edit with multiple camera angles. Think of a rock video where there is a music track and you cut seamlessly between a wide angle shot, the lead guitar, the singer, and the drummer. This is easy in FCP. It is possible in iMovie, but only with a lot of manual effort.
3) You have a lot more control over color managment in FCP.
4) You have a lot more control over audio in FCP. In addition to built in sound editing capablilities, you have all the synthesizers from Logic Pro available to you as well.
5) In your editing, you have a lot more capability in FCP.
6) In essence, you can do everything you can do in iMovie, but a lot more, and with a lot more control.
7) In addition, Final Cut Pro will import your iMovie Project and Events, if you like, and you can contiue editing them in FCP. However, you can contimue to edit them in iMovie as well. And if you do it correctly, it does not take up much more space on your hard drive. In other words, you will have a Final Cut event with a hard link to your physical clips, and you will have an iMovie event with a hard link to the same physical clips. It will look like 2 separate events, but you only use up the space of one event. The only downside of doing this is that you will be editing in Apple INtermdiate Codec.
8) You can do simple greenscreen in iMovie. In FCP you have full control over making a compositing key and using it as you like.
9) You can do simple speed changes in iMovie (fast or slow motion). In FCP, you have infinite control over the speed changes and you can select from 4 different modes of blending the frames so they look smooth.
I could go on and on, but that should give you an idea.
Here is the Help manual for FCP, if you want to browse around.

Editor here, what's the best format to use for iMovie?

Hi all. I edit professionally, using Final Cut among other products. I haven't touched iMovie since...I can't remember when.
We have a client who is going to be using some of our footage for a project they will be editing themselves, using some version (unknown at present) of iMovie.
Assuming their computer is new, and they have a fairly current version of iMovie HD, what's the best format to transcode our original files to? I could always default to DV anamorphic, but would rather give them HD files.
Thanks for your help.

If they have a current Mac and are on iMovie 11 (current) or iMovie 8 or 9, give them Apple Intermediate Codec.
This works well for HD files.
Other formats that would work: Motion JPEG-A, Apple Animation Codec, h.264, DV, HDV.
ProRes 422 will only work in iMovie if your client has Final Cut Pro installed on the same machine (and thus has the necessary components).

Best Hard Disk Handycam for iMovie Question

Not sure if this is the best place to post this question but I thought I would start here. I realize the answer is could be quite varied.
Which of the newer Handycams with a hard disk seem to provide the best quality and ability to work with iMovie08?

Hi Stormin' Norman,
Yes, myriad answers possible I guess - all correct. For my part, I've been extremely happy with my Sony SR7 - 60GB HDD camera.
It's a great camera to use, though, depending upon what you are videoing, you may wish to add the other microphones etc as accessories. I've had some great results in varying situations, and, now that iMovie '08 and FC Express 4 work with HDD cameras, that issue has gone away.
Whether it's the best for working with iMovie, I wouldn't know - but I'm very happy with the camera.
Hope this helps.
Cheers.

What is the best image size format for imovie iOS

I want to create a few black images with white letters as title slides and use them with some of my videos I am creating using imovie with my new ipad3.
What is the best image size?
thanks!
Jeremy

It all depends on what you want to do with the images.
If you don't want to do any moves on the images then make them the exact size of the video.
The iPad 3 edits in full HD, 1920 x 1080.
If you want to do small moves, then make is larger.
But keep the 1920 x 1080 dimensions otherwise iMovie just chops the image to that ratio.
good luck

Want a printable tutorial for iMovie 10.0.2

83 and short memory. I see extensive information provided by Apple and on youtube, but would like a printed copy to refer to. Have seen manuals PDF's for older units but I have OXS10.9. Finding my way around on the iMac but my primary interest is iMovie. I started with screen shots but too long of a process.

See a book recommended in another discussion, and a comment about the number of changes in the new update, so may just have to wait till it comes out. It is iMovie, The Missing Manual

Is there a tutorial for the iMovies App for the iPhone?

I cannot figure out all of the features and things that are not there that make to have. In other words, it's not all intuitive. Does anyone have some good tutorial for us to use? Also, is this app it? I mean, are there other features or plug-in's or extensions that I can buy to get more transitions, themes, etc.? How do I fade the audio on the music and get more that 1 song track on there? Can I add a specific song to each video clip? Is there a way to put some text in the middle of clip or just at the end without having a completely different clip? Maybe I am asking too much, but any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for the good info. I think I was hoping for a few more features, even though it is pretty nice for a phone app. It would be nice to some additional granularity of control and more options for themes and transitions. Maybe, Apple will consider that as another version/pro version of iMovies/or add-on... hint, hint... wink, wink... nudge, nudge... know what I mean, know what I mean, eh?!?! Yes, that was a reference to Monty Python!
