I just spent the evening making a 10-minute video with Windows Movie Maker featuring me demonstrating a number of signs. It is part of my learning program for my other class, but I just may have to send it to Robin as a replacement for my Jing videos. I'm pleased with how it came out.
It wasn't originally a part of my plan, but as I was designing this program, I realized that if any instructor were going to be able to "pick it up and go," they would need to spend some time with baby sign language. The easiest way to do that would be through a video with demonstrations that the instructor could follow and practice alongside. Sure, I could have suggested one for them to buy or borrow, but if one comes along with the instructor's manual, even better!
I just hope I have time to complete the rest of my learning program materials before Friday! Really, this only took me about 20-30 minutes to film, and about 3 hours to edit, so I don't think that's too bad at all. But I still have a lot of other stuff to do.
Thanks, Robin, for Any Video Converter. My camera outputs .mts files, and I wouldn't have known how to convert it easily so Movie Maker could use it if it wasn't for class. One weird thing, though: it slowed the video, but kept the audio the same speed. Still haven't quite figured this one out, or how to fix it. Luckily, this particular video needed to have the audio stripped anyway.
P.S. The "narrate video" feature in Movie Maker worked like a charm!
