INSTRUCTIONS
Create a short video using editing and audio skills. It can be funny and silly but needs to be appropriate!
NOTE: All the files you use (video clips, images and sound) need to be in the same folder as your OpenShot
Download the files you need
Setting up in OpenShot
Putting clips into timeline
Adding copyright free music
Editing / transitions / flow / effects etc
Title screen and credits
Export to an AVI
! information
Create a folder on your S: Drive for your project (Call it your student number)
This has much larger space allocation (Good for larger files... like video)
Remember to sit at the same computer during video production, (S:// drive does not follow you around like the H:// Drive)
If you want to work on video using your own device, use Google drive for storage, but use the desktop for where you work on the file. (Download to the desktop, work on it, and then upload back to G-Drive so you don't burn through all your disc space.)
Basics of video editing
Very short video on the basics of editing a video with OpenShot
You should watch each section and practise some of the techniques so you can get a feel for the program.
Basics of Audio editing
A short introduction to editing audio with Audacity.
You should do some recording and get some creative commons music to try out the techniques shown in the video.
Note: Although you can edit audio in Openshot it is highly recommended that you edit your audio in a dedicated program like Audacity and export it across. Use the right tool for the right job!
Read me for some simple steps of how to make a video on weird animals! (click on drop down arrow)
Open S:// on the computer. Windows + E key and click S://
Create a folder . Right click, new folder, name it as your student number.
Open Premiere Pro. Click the magnifying glass and type in Premiere.
Save the file in the S:// folder you just made
Go to the internet, search for weird animals. Save them in the S:// folder you made.
Name each picture as you save it as the name of the animal. Right click on the image, File, save as, and name it, eg Proboscis monkey.jpg, or liger.jpg
Once you have 10 pics go to premiere pro and File, Import and import the pictures.
Drag them onto the time line.
Look below at how to add sound. Add it
To add word, go to Title and add title. Type the animal names so they play on each pic
Add transitions between each image and add an intro and credits.
Done.
Save it.
If you are reopening the project and the files are not available, right click the video file and choose Link Media and then navigate to the S:// or where ever you saved the files and click on it and it will show up again.
