Web Conference – November 22, 2011, Tuesday night Tonight’s web conference seemed to go off much smoother than conferences in the past. It may be that Dr. Abernathy was able to keep the number of attendees down to a smaller amount, allowing better connections.   Whatever the reason, the conference was enjoyable and informative – not frustrating. I was also able to hear Dr. Abernathy a large percent of the time, and only had her fade out a few time. I think because the holidays are so close, everyone was excited and wishing each other Happy Thanksgiving! One question I had, I believe was asked, was if we need to post our edited video. I believe the answer was, “no, it is only practice”.   I am a little confused because I think in week 5 we are supposed to have it posted in our WIKI. I will continue to try to get this question answered. I finally got the nerve to go to the web conference and use the webcam. I do not know why I hate cameras, but I do. Once I used it, it was libe...

I looked at 10 of the best video editing software that was free to users.  They all had pros and cons.  Blender is a 3 D graphics video creation program. Wax features unlimited audio tracks in addition to video, and can be used as a stand-alone application, as well as a plug-in to other video editors. Avid FreeDV and Zwei-Stein is for someone that is more experienced as an editor than I am, and Avidemux appeared to be too simplistic (Scope, 2011).  Because my computer is fairly new, I already had Movie Maker installed. The phrase that won me over to Movie Maker was, “If you are a PC user, Movie Maker is the place to get started with your video editing” (Scope, 2011, #1 Microsoft movie maker section, para.1).  Special effects, titles, and editing videos, photos and audio can all be done by Movie Maker. You can import files with the following file name extensions into Windows Movie Maker to use in a project: ·         Video file...

I was an interior design major before I changed to business. I have always loved old houses, and recently found out I lived in a house similar to the house I moved when I was a toddler. What did your family think of this project? They thought I was not operating on all cylinders. One daughter told me that you do not buy and old house like and antique and stick it in your backyard. Did you know what you were getting into? I had a friend that had moved two houses together, and I loved her house. I did not know the expense would be so much. Part of that was due to the fact Hurricane Ike came through and construction costs skyrocketed. Did you have any time where yo...

Well, this class has started off with a bang, and I love it. I did not know I would like playing with storyboards and narration, but I do. I have learned so much just this week and am really looking forward to more. Today I helped a girl at work with her school. I showed her how to put illustrations into her papers with GoogleDoc. She thought I was a genius! I have enjoyed telling my story about my house. The hardest part was sqeezing it down to 2 minutes. I have hundreds of pictures and stories about that house. Each time I thought of something additional I would like to add, I had to cut somewhere. It is an eye opener what a big job all editors have. I thought the difficult part would be getting the raw footage, but in reality, that is the easy part. I have enjoyed this project so much, I believe I will go back and redo my video after this class to include more pictures and narration. I have always wanted to document my project, but have never done anything with it.    Know...
