Critical Information (for Everyone)

Your video must be in a format that we can use on the Mac computers.

If you are using

iMovie

, you need to

1) make sure you select “finish project” when you are done editing (this can take a long time 10+ minutes)

AND 2) change the file type from .m4v to .mp4 by clicking on the file name and typing in the new file type.

If you are using Windows Movie Maker or other editing software, you need to choose “Save as” or “Export” and then choose one of the following formats:

.mp4, .

flv

, .

wmv

, or .

mov

IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS, YOUR VIDEO WILL NOT PLAY. Slide5

General Video Editing Strategies

Do the video portion first, adding videos and photos, and then add the audio (including music and voiceovers after the images are in place)

Use the Help videos and Help websites

Remember you MUST have all required sections in your video in the order listed:

College and Career Plans and Goals

Interests

Academic and Personal Growth

Influences

Final Thoughts

Remember the minimum length is 5 minutes and max is 7.Slide6

What to do from here:

Watch tutorial videos, ask questions, and try to learn some video editing techniques

Adding voiceovers, music, transitions, photos, video, etc.

Move at your own pace. Try things out.

You may need some video clips to practice with; you can import through the built-in computer camera. Open

iMovie

and select File/import from camera.

If you already know how to do these things, your job is to be an in-class expert, helping others learn. Slide7

Here is an instructional video on how to insert a voiceover. Notice that you need to have the video clips in place before adding the voiceover.
