Yep... here are instructions.

You should already have iMovie on your Mac. If you have a new Mac, you will need to go to the App Store application to get your free copy of iMovie.

I recently got a quad copter with a Go Pro mount on the bottom. I've been learning iMovie myself, editing footage from my cameras. The videos below were taken with original Hero.

I just got the Hero black and hope to do some filming this weekend.

seems all you have done is put BG music in the video? is iMovie that limited?

Perhaps that's all he wanted to do.

is iMovie that limited?

Nope. The best thing to do would be to work through the iMovie Help files. Just about everything you'll need to know is in there.

The crashes video required me to copy parts of various videos, which I incorporated into one. No fancy transforms here as I am learning iMovie too.

Every time I needed to figure something out I just Googled it.

From what what I've been able to determine you can only do a 50% slow motion, see below

I can do down to 12.5% in iMovie11.

I can do down to 12.5% in iMovie11.

I agree

 

[b06tmm]

I can do down to 12.5% in iMovie11.

Weird, maybe Google failed me? I'm using iMovie 11 too. Maybe I need to use advanced mode?

Will research this further, thanks!

If you mean "Advanced Tools", no, that doesn't effect the slo-mo settings.
