Hello Classmates and welcome to a brief overview of FlixTime, one of the web 2.0 services featured
on go2web20.net. Flixtime is a service that allows you to make
short video and picture shows easily. It automatically adds some of the neat transition features
that make these shows look so cool and allows you to add music as well.
First start by going to FlixTime.com and sign up for a free account. I have already done
this and have my free account open. Click “ Create a new video”. As you can see
there are many different style videos available to start with for your template. I’m going
to use the original. Create a name for your video. Now lets add
some pictures to our show. Click the add photos videos button. You can either upload your
own pictures or add from the video lounge. I’m going to upload my own pictures, because
as I was looking at pictures today to make a show with I found all these cute Lego pictures
that my son took last summer actually in order to make a video which we never figured out
how to do so I am going to surprise him by making it today! Now with your free account
you can have up to 15 pictures here and you just keep clicking add photo video upload
and choose your picture. Now the add cover button is where you can go to another graphic
program or Word and create a cover page and upload that here for your movie or you can
just add another picture which is what I will do. And you can just keep going until all
the slots are full and the free acct does allow you 15 pictures. Next let’s add some
music. You can upload your own or go to the music lounge. I’m going to use the music
lounge. I found one earlier that I liked just because I thought the name matched my little
Lego guys. It was called camouflage. Double click that and you can see here it did add
the music. Now you do have to wait for all of your pictures to completely load and when
that is done all you do is click render video and it takes a few minutes and it will produce
your video. Now for time sake so that u re not just sitting there waiting I did one beforehand.
I am going to play it for your now and I hope you enjoy it.
