A new year

It's been a while, but the plan for today is to move on to the next stage of the New Media Project. There are a range of things we could work on, but I thought we could recap film editing and have a play around with green screening. It's great fun making stuff, but we also need to think about how we can share what we make and try and ensure that things are accessible to students and parents. So, if we get time, we might move on to making blogs and maybe even websites that can host a range of content.

Snap and Drag

Hi Soren,

The Snap and Drag application has sorted out my problem - creating a still photo from a DVD movie. Thank you for your patience, we finally got there in the end :)

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

I need an apple mac at home so that i can practice whenever i want to. Anyway lets not whinge, this is the start of great things to come.

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
