One True Media | video creation that's simply powerful, easy and free. iCreate to Educate. Vimeo, Video Sharing For You. Simple F/X 2010.1 "30 Seconds" It’s been two weeks since I presented at our late winter Illinois edtech conference and I promised to post some updated tips on creating simple special effects with your students for their videos.
Since I’m still trying to organize and condense my thoughts, I thought I’d offer up this very creative effect from elementary art teacher, Tricia Fuglestad. Here’s how she got the “60 Minutes” look for her student news show using Apple’s Keynote, Preview and iMovie ’09. With a little digging you can achieve the same end with higher level video editing programs on both the Mac and PC. First, Tricia created a slide in Keynote and added a framed box. She then exported the slide as a picture and opened it in Preview where she turned inside the frame into an alpha channel (transparent) area (you can actually do that in the newest version of Keynote too).
You can see more of Tricia and her students’ creative work and pick up even more tips on her Vimeo page and her Dryden School page. How to make the Intro to 60 minutes. SearchStories.
