No joy

Hi Soren,

still have a problem creating a still from a movie. I tried to create a still from a movie in imovie; it was half successful, the selected frame froze but it still moves buy zooming out. Also i tried to create a still image from the desktop but with no joy. what else can i do because a colleague needs to obtain a photo of one of her students, however, this student has left the college and she only has this student in a movie, hence the need to capture a photo from a film, thanks

Printing from Macbook

How do I print from the Macbook? I have work saved onto a memory stick from Comic Life, but can't open it on other computers and can't upload it to the internet at school.

Ripping films from YouTube



YouTube is an invaluable source of clips for teachers like us who work with visual learners. Unreliable internet or blocking can make it hard to make the best use of this wonderfully varied and free resource. You can get round this by ripping the film from the web and having it as a movie file for you to use as when you need it. The demo also shows how you can then edit your ripped footage just like you would with film taken on a camera.

Get stuck in,

Soren

Helpful Mac tutorials

Apologies for not having posted for a while. I thought you might enjoy this link to Mac helpful video tutorials. You don't need to have any additional software to view them, they are divided into bit-sized pieces, and they are helpfully divided by topics and the software applications they link to. Also, they all have handy voice overs and desk top films that make them easy to follow. Give them a try!
