Movie Maker and Audacity

Signed up for two courses today:

the first is on the use of Windows Movie Maker and Audacity:

started the day watching a 7 min video made by the lecturer and his four-year-old boy. The video was the result of a question: "Daddy how do we get seaweed?" The question of seaweed expands into a full seven-minute video that also teaches respect for the environment.

Quite an impressive production: the boy narrated the video.

10:30 am: I spoke too soon - with the overlay of sound and text... ouch... lots to things to manage... pity that WMM is limited in features... will have to find a

11:03 am: must remember to save as project file when I render as final work! otherwise my work cannot be edited!

gonna find an alternate program with more features on www.sourceforge.net
