Open iMovie and from the File menu, select New Project. For Project Name, enter, withot the quotes, “www trip yourname” (substitute the name of the WWW location for the word trip). For Aspect Ratio, select Standard (4:3) and click Create.

You should have already copied your WWW photos, resized to 800 width, into an iPhoto Album. In the iMovie toolbar, click the Photo icon (refer to diagram above) and in the selection bar, choose iPhoto Album. Drag your WWW photo album into the iMovie project window.

By default, iMovie displays one image for every five seconds of video in a clip; you can change this setting to “unroll” (expand) the filmstrips further, or “roll them up” (contract them), by using the clip thumbnail slider. Drag the clip thumbnail slider to the right to reduce the number of images displayed for each clip, making each filmstrip shorter.
