iMovie: Take Two

Before I dive into my project for creating a one minute video of a fabulous tool that I researched, I thought I would try taking my other web tool, Go Animate, and edit a video using that tool. I thought that editing a video would be an easy start to my renewed learning process.

It was hard for me to figure out how I was going to allow my viewers to see my creation from Go! Animate but I remembered the tool that I was advised not to use for my BP8 project AKA one minute iMovie video. The tool was ScreenFlow. I was not proficient in its uses either. So, boy was I making this harder for myself.

My first hurdle was that in didn't understand the controls of ScreenFlow and couldn't get it to stop when I wanted. Starting was easy because it did it automatically with a nice 3-2-1 count down before it begins. So my first project once I import it into to iMovie is to figure out how to get rid of the access video.
Chopping off sections wasn't that hard. But what bummed me out about the process or the program (both of them) is that I couldn't use any special effects or transitions. I can only assume because it was a ScreenFlow video and not photos or a video linked with iMovie that it didn't work.
Nevertheless, I learned a little more by trying to apply what I learned from Lynda.com as well as what I remember from the older version of iMovie to create a nice video for my students to learn about Go! Animate. I only hope that my third attempt will be more pleasing.
Below is my video again in iMovie for you to review.
Don't doubt yourself. We're doing this stuff for the first time; we're not professional video editors! Nor do we intend to be (at least I don't).
ReplyDeleteFor our purposes, you are doing great. And trying/ comparing a few different types is even better. You know which works best for what, and how to use them together. Keep it up
