Week 11

So for this blog post I am going to insert a little tip that I learned while using movie maker. If you are having issues adding music add it into your Windows Music Player Library. I know, with iTunes, who uses WMP??? But, for some reason iTunes cannot change it into the right format. Sometimes it won't even accept mp3s. It has to be in a format that Windows Media Player can read or it won't work. The second thing--which I'm not sure why it took me so long to realize this. Instead of editing the time of the clip by going to Edit: Clip: Time -- just change yourself from storyboard to timeline and you can change the timing of each invidiual clip by just clicking on it and adjusting it with your mouse (you can do the same thing with the music clips as well). It's super easy to make some clips longer than others without the hassle of going through four different tool bars. Also, while storyboard is good for adding effects and transitions--the timeline is the best way to view and work with your movie anyways.
