<\/p>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n
If you watched the video<\/a> I posted yesterday, you may have asked yourself\u00a0how the movie was created.\u00a0 Let me explain a couple of things.<\/p>\n 1 – I recorded my voice during the eTech Ohio 2008 conference using a digital voice recorder (Panasonic RR-US395<\/a>).\u00a0 When I got home, I dumped the recording to a WAVE file using the Panasonic software.<\/p>\n 2 – I recorded a “screen cast” of my presentation at home using Windows Media Encoder<\/a> and saved that as a movie file with no sound.<\/p>\n 3 – I used MovieMaker to combine the WAVE file with the screen captured video of my PowerPoint.\u00a0 The final movie was exported as a WMV and uploaded to TeacherTube.<\/p>\n To keep the file size to a minimum and reduce the effect of compression anomalies, I did the screen capture in PowerPoint at the approximate resolution of a TeachTube video (320 x 240).\u00a0 The graphic at the top of this post is a screen shot of the presentation (close to actual size).\u00a0 I used Windows Media Encoder to create a movie of that small window instead of the normal full screen PowerPoint.\u00a0 You can adjust PowerPoint to play in a small window in the Show Setup (screen below).<\/p>\n I selected the “Browsed by an individual” for the Show Type.<\/p>\n To\u00a0create the movie, I had to\u00a0listen to my recorded audio and advance the slides in the PowerPoint so my recorded voice matched the screen\u00a0captured movie.\u00a0 There were a lot of ways that I could have done this, but a real-time replay was the easiest and probably quickest.<\/p>\n Once I had the movie, I dropped it into MovieMaker and dragged the WAVE audio file in as the audio track.\u00a0 I had to slide the audio back and forth a little to get it synchronized perfectly with the video.\u00a0 That was it.<\/p>\n I could have placed my slides into a service like SlideShare<\/a>.\u00a0 I know they support audio now, but I’m not sure I could have used my recorded audio.\u00a0 I would have lost all the transitions if I had used a service like SlideShare.\u00a0 That alone was enough to deter me from that particular service.<\/p>\n I had a hard time getting to TeacherTube several times today.\u00a0 I’m sure it was a bandwidth issue.\u00a0 They definitely do not have the bandwidth of major non-educational streaming sites (YouTube, MetaCafe, Blip.tv), but TeacherTube is one of the few streaming sites that is not blocked by most K-12 school districts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0 If you watched the video I posted yesterday, you may have asked yourself\u00a0how the movie was created.\u00a0 Let me explain a couple of things. 1 – I recorded my voice during the eTech Ohio 2008 conference using a digital … Continue reading ![\"powerpointshowsetup.png\"](\"http:\/\/www.trustyetc.com\/trustyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/03\/powerpointshowsetup.png\")
