A post on all of the new things that we learned today.

*To use Windows Movie Maker, connect your digital camera via firewall or a USB
*You can "capture" videos by recording one on your camera and then it is played/saved onto the computer and the program
*You can also choose to import videos, pictures, or audio to your video
*Assets are things that you can use in your video (read above point)
*The timeline is at the bottom, the stage is on the right, and the well is in the centre
*You can add video effects such as blur, sharpen, or make the video look old
*You can add transitions in your video to seperate scenes
*You can add a title at the beginning of your video and even add transitions to that title
*Movie Maker is good for simple editing and it is found in every Windows XP
*You can cut, trim, or even replay clips
*You can save the file as a Windows Movie Maker Projects or MSWMM
*This file is only a set of instructions
*To publish the real movie you can go to Save Movie File>if you save on the E-Mail or Web the file will be lossy
*Save your video as the best possible format because you can always make it lower-quality later on
*DVAVI is a good high quality file but it takes up an enormous amount of space
*The more stuff you have on your video, the longer it takes to export it
*To turn DVAVI movies into Flahs videos, got to the Adobe Flash Video Encoder and turn it into an FLV video (one that you can control unlike the previous Flash animations)
*The framerate is the number of frames per second and the standard is 15 framerates per second
*The standard size for videos is 360 pixels (width) by 240 pixels (length)
*An FLV file is much smaller than and AVI file
*To make a widescreen video to put on your website, you need Flash CS3 and Adobe Dreamweaver
*In Dreamweaver, go to Insert, Media, and then Flash Video to insert a video
*A skin is the overlayer of the video
*To make a video widescreen, change all fullscreen "false" values into "true" values
*To make a new, custom skin go to Import, and then Library and then choose your picture
*You can choose your own skin and skin colors in Adobe Flash CS3
*Go to File and then Publish Settings and save it as an SWF file and an HTML file
