Create Your Video in 5 Basic Steps

There are a lot of  movie making software in the market. If you are a Mac user, you can go ahead and use Imovie. It has a very user friendly interface.

If you are a PC user, then you have the option to use MS Photostory or MS Windows Movie Maker. They are both free.
You need to download MS Photostory from Microsoft downloads:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/default.aspx

MS Windows Movie Maker no longer comes with MS Windows 7 – you have to download it from Microsoft website and install:http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=d6ba5972-328e-4df7-8f9d-068fc0f80cfc&displaylang=en

First of all you have to plan your project. Please make sure that your pictures and or videos are ready to upload. You can also give your students this as an assignment – they can go out, shoot pictures and or videos and then come back to the class.
If you follow the 5 basic steps, you’ll have your movie up and ready in a few minutes!
Please remember that copyright laws apply to all your and your students’ products.

1) Select you pictures and videos – from your My Documents, camera or memory stick
2) Select your effects – there’re plenty of good effects
3) Select your transitions – not a must but looks cool!
4) Select make titles or credits – not a must but will be look more professional to add a slide in the beginning and the end. Your students could put their names and the copyright stuff
5) Save to your computer – if you save it as a project, then you can come back and play with it easily. If you save it as a movie(finalize) then you won’t have that chance.

That’s it! You are ready to go!
You can optionally add music to your movies from the first section; capture video. Please keep in mind that copyright laws apply to the music as well..
You may find a sample movie produced by MS Movie Maker and step by step instructions below.

iOS 4.2 released!

So; Find My iPhone application is for free. Just use your Apple ID. 

Another notable change is that now you can search and find a text on the webpages just like normal browsers.

From Apple Hot News:

“Apple today announced that iOS 4.2, the latest version of the world’s most advanced mobile operating system, is available today for download for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch. iOS 4.2 brings over 100 new features from iOS 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 to iPad, including Multitasking, Folders, Unified Inbox, Game Center, AirPlay, and AirPrint. “iOS 4.2 makes the iPad a completely new product, just in time for the holiday season,” said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO. “Once again, the iPad with iOS 4.2 will define the target that other tablets will aspire to, but very few, if any, will ever be able to hit.”

Another Day

Today, Apple going to announce a new deal, probably something about the Beatles. 

Although there are a lot of humors on this, here is what I noticed;

When you browse to the Apple’s website on you iPhone, the announcement appears just like a flash animation-line by line-. Although this is very unlikely, Apple may be producing a new technology equal to the Adobe’s flash. 

Anyway, as an avid Beatles fan, I will be more than happy in both cases :) 

these jokes can go forever :)

Check out the Google TV

iSAT v3 - a new way to memorize words, 73 users

I’ve just released the newest version of iSAT application. Now, adding/removing words is much easier. Most importantly you can ‘Save and Exit’ and continue your study from where you left later on. You may also choose to just study last 30 or 100 words that you’ve added on your list. The accuracy indicator is another great feature that motivates you.

I hope it finds you well! Please write your comments :)
