This week, "Peer Teaching" session starts with the presentation by Group 5 on Windows Movie Maker...
1. MovieMaker (Group 5)
A. Interface
Windows Movie Maker: The layout consists of a storyboard view and a timeline view, collections for organizing imported video, and a preview pane. When in Storyboard view, the video project appears as a film strip showing each scene in clips. The storyboard/timeline consists of one 'Video' accompanying Audio bar, one 'Music/Audio' bar and one 'Titles/Credits' bar.
Windows Live Movie Maker: In addition to a lighter color scheme, Windows Live Movie Maker works differently where you won't find the function such as a Storyboard, drop down menus, and a timeline. Windows Movie Maker used a Task based approached to creating a movie....Windows Live Movie Maker introduce a clean design with most tools and functionality revealed through the innovative Scenic Ribbon which displays common functionality once buried under drop down menus and wizards in a gallery of easy to identify icons.
B. Video Input
Windows Movie Maker: When importing footage into the program, a user can either choose to Capture Video from camera, scanner or other device OR Import existing video files into the user's collections. The accepted formats for import are .WMV/.ASF, .MPG (MPEG-1), .AVI (DV-AVI), .WMA, .WAV, and .MP3.
Windows Live Movie Maker: We can add video files, photo files and audio files with much more video formats supported such as WMV, ASF,WM, M2TS, M2T, WTV, MP4, MOV,M4V, MPEG, MOG, MPE, M1V, MP2, MPV2,MOD, VOB and AVI.
BUT, if the videos are not supported by both, we will need to convert the videos first before importing it...
C. Video Editing
Windows Movie Maker: After capture, any clip can be dragged and dropped anywhere on the timeline. Once on the timeline, clips can be duplicated or split and any of the split sections deleted/copied using the standard Windows keyboard shortcuts or clicked and dragged to another position. Right-clicking any clips brings up the range of editing options. An AutoMovie feature offers predefined editing styles (titles, effects and transitions) for quickly creating movies.
Windows Live Movie Maker: It does totally opposites with the previously Windows Movie Maker. Task like re-arranging or copying a video clip are more visual and interactive. It displays a multiple frames in a clip, which we can use the video cursor bar to scan through a video clip and see additional sequences within the video itself. The cursor bar itself is an important element of the software and allows us to accomplish many common task in Movie Maker timeline.
D. Finished Video (Output)
Windows Movie Maker: It can only export video in Windows media formats. Earlier versions of Window Movie Maker did not support direct burning of DVDs. The project had to be saved first as an AVI file, and a separate authoring program used to produce and burn the DVD. Movie Maker also allows users to publish a finished video on video hosting websites.
Windows Live Movie Maker: It makes videos easier to share online with a few clicks. We can post video to YouTube right from the main menu, or add a quick plug-in and easily publish to Facebook. We also can burn our creation to a DVD or save it in high definition to play on TV. Save it down to a smaller format and transfer it to mobile device or send it via e-mail.
Interesting right????...You should tried it first and choose which one is more easier and convenient to use...
The learning sessions continued by another group presenting on Microsoft One Note....
2. Microsoft OneNote (Group 7)
Microsoft OneNote or formerly called Microsoft Office OneNote, is a computer program for free-form information gathering and multi-user collaboration. It gathers users notes (Handwritten or typed), drawings, screen clippings, and audio commentaries, and shares them with other OneNote users over the internet. In OneNote, users can enter typed text via keyboard, create tables and insert pictures anywhere. OneNote also saves data automatically as the users works. It also saves information in pages organized into sections within notebooks. The interface is an electronic version of a tabbed ring binder, in which the user can directly makes notes and gather material from other applications. In OneNote, users can insert, create tables, add pictures and create mind maps. User also can write in any corner of the document by simply clicking on the desired place. OneNote is commonly used on laptops or desktop PCs. For users who use the tablet PC, they can make notes in OneNote using handwriting or pen. More interestingly, OneNote can also make calculations by just typing numbers and mathematical operations. Among other privileges OneNote, users can insert pictures from the web without crop or copy but by just using the screen clipping and also can extract any writings from the picture. Additionally, OneNote also allows users to create a password for the confidential files. Very interesting, is it?? For students and teachers, OneNote is very useful for making notes.
