Collecting Websites
Step 1
Prepping a List of URLs
Prepping a List of URLs
Before we make the credits, we need a list of websites we are going to thank for the images. Make a copy of the entire URL list in your Word document and edit the visible text to just the website - delete the "HTTP://" and everything after the domain (.com, .edu, .gov, co.uk, .net, etc.) These need to be short little names of the website they came from.
Credits
Step 2
Create a text box by making a corral (click and drag with the (T)ext tool that is as big as the larger Safe Margin rectangle. Add your text by writing a short thank you sentence and then paste the website domains. Make sure everything is legible. You should add transitions at the beginning and end of the credits (the Push transition will make it roll upwards if you like.
Polish to Professional
Step 3
Edit Your Caption Text
Edit Your Caption Text
The first part to polishing up your text is to review all the text after double-clicking on a caption and fix any errors. Clearly misspelled words are underlined in red but things like the lowercase "i" also need to be changed. Check credits too!
Move and Resize Captions
Move and Resize Captions
The second part is to position each one either at the top or bottom of the safe margin. Captions should be a single line of text inside the larger "safe margin" box - no orphans allowed. Simplify the wording as needed! Do not cover important parts of the image, which means watching the animation to see which of the two positions is better. The image is the star of the show.
Exporting the Full Version
Exporting the Full Version
Once you have been given the go-ahead from Mr. Hicks, you can export your Master to create a "Final" version of your project. Use the method shown to easily rename the file from Master to something more appropriate, like:

Getting Your Video to Google Drive
Your video file needs to be somewhere where people can watch it - you cannot add it directly to your website. You will need a special folder in your Google Drive for videos and files you want visitors to access.
