NOTE: Student computers are better different…

… in that they can capture direct from webcam.

You can import from your phone…

Connect to computer…

… and browse for footage or images.

But with iphones you need to drag to desktop, then into WLMM

• Automatic• Or manual

Edit

Editing options; making cuts

Trim unnecessary parts

Split longer clips

Editing options; manipulating the image

Grading options …

…and brightness.

Add a soundtrack to all or part of the film…

… and then you have access to music tools.

Finally… titles, credits, subtitles…

As with music, the usual rule is that it will insert wherever the playhead is.

Export

• Online• Or disc/ file

Until exported, the file is not a film; it is a WLMM file and will only open in this program.

Getting students to export to YouTube means you don’t have dozens of (large) files to deal with.

Get students to upload; make videos private or don’t tag them meaningfully.
