Video Coming Together…First Session

For this week:

• Video work – +2 hours – Worked to begin clipping videos together.  Figured out the problem with the video and projector.  Seems that PPT uses Windows Media Player to display its movies.  I need to be sure to set the overlays not to display (makes sense to me) and then the video comes through fine.  Voice over work and final cuts this week.  Needs to be ready to use is two weeks.  Dr. Ackerman asked for the links to the products that I used, and they are:

KeepVid : Download videos from youtube in formats that can be viewed through video program.0

Camtasia : Program that we used heavily in visual…screen capture and more.

WMCapture : Program to capture video in high quality…used this to get the Olympics for class use by capturing the video played on the screen.

• First session – 3 hours – I finally had my first set of kids (30) attend the club.  I will now have an additional adult in the room with me in order to help me facilitate the sessions.  Students were explained my expectations as well as introduced to the types of things that we will be doing.
