While these features are, for the most part, well documented, some are not necessarily obvious. Such is the case with today’s tip—it’s a documented feature in iMovie HD 6, but it’s one that you may not be aware of unless you’ve dug through the documentation. And just what is the feature? The ability to create time-lapse movies. Time-lapse techniques are used to condense very long periods of time into something that will fit into a typical movie. So instead of staring at a flower going through its bloom phase for three days, you can watch a time-lapse film of the event, condensed down into only a few minutes."
