Inspired by Aleksandra's video clip posted here yesterday (which was the buzz of conversation!) we made a video recording during today's training. I used the little Cybershot 55 camera and played around with Windows Movie Maker once I got home. It took me about 35 minutes to make this short film, which is made of an opening title, the video clip, a still image and a closing clip. I imported a music file from Windows to accompany it but couldn't work out how to get rid of the recorded sound. When I listened to it though, I liked it with both sound and music.
I found Movie Maker far easier than the video editing software we were playing with the other day. Not only that, but it did everything I wanted it to do - clipping and editing included. Believe me, I didn't even know I had got the Movie Maker program on my computer until today!
Good stuff!
Watch out everybody...the video makers are coming.

Very inspiring indeed Gill! I've kept Jane's clear hand out from Tuesday's training and will make time soon to learn how to use Movie Maker.
Gill - glad you found it could do all you wanted to. To change the balance of audio from video and added audio/music use Tools > Audio Levels.
Thanks Jane. Knew it was in there somewhere and did a basic look at the help files but as I didn't have long this evening, I left it as it was.
Next time, the sound will be more refined!
Gill, I didn't realise the Movie Maker was on my computer, either!A thousand thanks to Jane for telling me:)
