Making my final video


First I dragged all my images from my memory stick into iMovie. I did them individually because iMovie likes to mess up the order of your pictures if you drag them in a group which is really annoying. 


When I'd added all my photos, I edited the effects on them to 'fit' so that they wouldn't zoom in when they played. I was going to crop my images to get rid of the shadows at the edge of the screen but it would have been really hard to make all my pictures the same size and get the cup in the same place each time.


Once I'd edited the effects on my photos, I changed the playing time of each image from 4 seconds to 0.2 seconds. I chose this time because it plays the images like they're a video but it's slow enough so you can tell that they're separate pictures and not an actual video.


When I was happy with the way my video played, I needed to download a song to put in the background of it. I looked at the effects that come with iMovie first but none of them seemed to fit my video. I couldn't think of a suitable song so I asked my friends what song I should use and one of them suggest Ed Sheeran - Cold Coffee. I downloaded the song using a Youtube-mp3 converting website and then added the song to my video. 


Finally, I exported my movie as the medium size and saved it to my Desktop.

  1. Hi
    Good screen grabs and final video you could write more in your blogs about what you did as well, what are the tools called that you used in the software.
    On the whole good work and just needs finishing off as regards whats required, look at the tutor suport site and the criteria to identify what you have missed out and add more to fill in the gaps in your assignment in order to pass or achieve a higher grade.
