Video Slideshows with iMovie ‘09
Last May, I posted how I put together slideshows using Aperture and Final Cut. Since then, Apple’s updated iMovie significantly, and now many of the features which had been missing (specifically, precision placement of videos in the “timeline”) have been added to the consumer-level product, making it a viable choice for slideshow editing.
When I [...]
Quickie: Cropping
There is a discussion on cropping going on at Inside Aperture.
I tend to crop as a rule, as it means I capture “outside the crop” routinely.

Geocoding Aperture
I have just recently started down the path of adding geocoding to my Aperture workflow. This doesn’t apply to all the pictures I take yet; I only bother taking the GPS tracker out with me when going on a family hike, not to a sports field or such. Below is a summary [...]
Quickie: Apple TV and Aperture
Some quick notes on the Apple TV and Aperture.
The Apple TV syncs with Aperture 1.x and presumably 2 as well (insert obligatory and off-topic Aperture 2 drool here). This is a wonderful thing, and has found significant use in our house since we bought an Apple TV a few weeks back.
That having been said, [...]
Aperture Workflow
Aperture Workflow
