Hello and welcome
Today we are going to use iMovie, a movie editing software available free for Mac, to make a time-lapse video. A timelapse combine many photos taken over a period of time to make time appear faster than actually is.
So, what you need is a camera that can take photos of a set time period and software to combine the photos into a video.
We are going to walk through the steps of transforming your photos from still images into a video with the help of iMovie.
First, open iMovie and select the Projects tab from the top. Select Create New, then Movie.
Ok, so now we have created a new Movie project. On the top, we have our media library, which is currently empty. So we will bring in some photos to the library.
Select import media to bring photos from your computer to the new Movie. Now, the media is in the library.
On the bottom of the screen, we have our movie's timeline. This is where we put our movie will be made - we put our media here and it is then a part of our movie.
You can think of it as a painting. You have to get all of your colors ready and you often put them on a wooden plate. It's not until we bring our colors onto the canvas that the painting starts to take place. We have to bring our prepared media to the timeline to create a movie.
After importing, select all of the images and drag them to our timeline on the bottom. The timeline on the bottom is now our movie and it includes all of the images we imported from media
We now have to solve two problems. First, with all of the images selected from the timeline, click the cropped image and select Fit, so the image does not move. Next, with all of the images from the timeline selected, click information and change the time to be something quick, 0.2 will work, and press enter.
We have now added all of the images together, removed any effects, and made them progress quickly. Finally, export your video and share with others!

I thought the pacing of your screencast was very good, going through the process step by step not too fast but not too slow. I also really liked how you incorporated prior knowledge by comparing the process to painting, which is not something I would have initially thought to compare it to, but it helped me understand better what you were doing, especially since I've never used iMovie.
