iMovie for a dummy

I feel so stupid. As Kurt put it:

Never saw this before. I'd have to say operator error.

I've been trying to create some movies with iMovie that I can share with the family. Every single one wound up having two extra white frames at the end. Arggh! This is supposed to be easy.

Kurt came by to see.

I showed him my movie(s). Yep, white frames. He was sticking with his operator error theory. I open iMovie, do an export for web streaming. The bad frames are there. I explain all the expert settings contortions I went through. Kurt tells me that he exports to QuickTime for CD-ROM. We try it, it works. Arggh! It's a little bit smaller than the size of the movies I was trying to make originally.

Lessons learned? I haven't the foggiest idea.
