EDLD5363-Week+Two

Video Editing Software Evaluation I have not had much experience with editing videos. So this has been an enlightening assignment. I researched two video packages that were recommended in the readings. I delved into the realm of online tutorials, blogs and forums. I have not used these tools in the past through my lack of knowledge of the amount of information provided. There is an incredible amount of information in these resources. I had no idea how to import and edit a video to create a final project. The tutorials were a tremendous help and when I needed more technical advice I went to the help forums and blogs. I have been using these tools in all my courses and I wish I had known about all the resources prior to starting at Lamar. I can see the use of these online resources as a main source of my future learning. Learning about all topics I am interested in. I recently searched for a tutorial on indoor bicycle trainers. I found a wealth of information on YouTube and blogs. I can see me utilizing this resource in the future. I chose Windows Movie Maker as my video editing software package to review and evaluate. My cohort partner Nicole W. and I talked about the different software packages mentioned in the readings and both decide on using Windows Movie Maker. I used a video clip I created recently on my BlackBerry. I had video clips of my niece playing tennis at the University of Oregon. I took the individual clips and imported them. I started to arrange on the storyboard and played around with the transitions and effects. I added music I had and toyed with that aspect. The tabs and the task ribbon are simple and easy to navigate. I found myself really enjoying the ease of editing my own movie. I looked into the file formats that Windows Movie Maker supports as well as YouTube acceptable file formats. I have chosen Windows Media Video (wmv.) as my file format for use with video making tutorial. I exported from audacity in WAV to Windows Movie Maker then WMV to YouTube. Creative Commons License
