What do you think the best way would be for students to show/share their IMovie monologues? Would burning them all to a DVD work (and would that require a DVD per computer)? I'd love to hear ideas/suggestions!

The Freesound Project!

Hey All!

Here's a really great website that I use all of the time for checking out new sounds, music loops and effects. Click on the following link:

The Freesound Project

It's a creative commons site, so all of the sounds & music are free to download!

Here's a screenshot:

thx mr skye for setting this up...

Audio under pictures in iMovie

Here's a short tutorial on how to use the audio from your video track (in iMovie) for your photos...

Click To Play

The shortcut key (after you set your in/out points for the audio you want to put under the picture) is apple + shift...

Btw, sorry about the audio on this tutorial! It's kinda low!

Session 2: Importing Clips and starting to edit!

Hi Everyone!

So today we're going to learn how to import clips into your FCP project, set in and out points in the viewer, drag the clips into the time line, and then cut them up with the blade tool. Exciting!

First things first...please download the practice clip from the link here...(unless you have video footage that you would like to use already!)

After you are finished downloading, check out the video below (it's one take, so please be kind!) to see how to import and start editing!

Here are some shortcuts that I use in the video:
apple_I --> Import a file to the browser
apple_+ --> zoom in
apple_- --> zoom out
I --> set the "in" point
O --> set the "out" point
A --> arrow (select) tool
B --> blade tool
shift&delete --> delete and move clips
space --> play/stop

Have fun and post questions if you have them!
See you soon!
