Fifteen DOLCHE teachers attended the October 8 Movie Maker 2 training at Tech Services. The workshop covered:
- Importing images, video clips, and music
- Adding narration
- Adding transitions and effects
- Editing video clips
- Saving a project – ALL components of a project are saved in the SAME folder!!!
- Finishing a movie – Exporting as a CD (what everyone will do prior our Oct. 20 videoconference with Nikos) , email, to the web, or to a DV camera (what everyone will do prior to our student film festival)
One of the best resources for learning or reviewing Movie Maker 2 is Atomic Learning’s FREE Movie Maker 2 tutorial! Tutorials are also available at Microsoft’s Movie Maker 2 site. An excellent resource for trouble shooting MM2 is Papajohn’s website.
For those who wish to move beyond Movie Maker 2’s audio capabilities, we recommend downloading Audacity, a free audio editing program. Tutorials are available on the website.
If you have any Movie Maker 2 questions. tips, or resources, please post a comment so we can share information across the DOLCHE community.
