Hello and welcome to this tutorial specifically created for learners with a hearing impairment.
To enhance the visual aspects of this content there is use of the video and graphic features
embedded in Prezi, mainly the ZUI (Zoom User Interface). This interface allows for the
smooth and non- linear progress through the different frames of the Prezi canvas. There
is also textual and graphic content in terms of instruction , photos and videos. Even more
relevant to this tutorial is the inclusion of captions to support and reinforce the tutorial
information.
The Prezi consists of a title " How to edit a video in Windows Live Movie Maker" plus
three frames, with each frame representing a specific stage in the process of editing
and producing the video.
Click on the forward navigation arrow to move to the first frame "start your project"
Then the first sub frame with instructions on how to access WLMM from the Windows Start
icon.
Then where to find the WLMM In the list of programmes.
And how to start a new project once you have opened the programme.
The next sub-frame includes information about how to give a title and save your project.
That's the screen. Give your project a title and click save.
That shows the field where you need to enter your title and then where to click save
The third and last subframe in this initial stage is about how to add your video
Click on " Add videos and photos" Go to your file location and select it
Then press "Open".
Now, The next frame is all about how to edit the video adding various effects. For the
purposes of this tutorial only two effects are used. Adding a black and white filter
plus a pixelate animation.
To add a visual effect you will need to select a clip start and end points. Chose "Edit"
from the menu bar, then click on "Split" so the visual effect applies.
In this instance I opted for the black and white filter to give the clip a feel of the
sixties.
The following is clip of the London bus. The first part shows the video before adding the
black and white filter. The second part shows the effect after after it's been applied to
the video.
You can also add animations. You need to create an insertion point by pausing the video, selecting
"Edit" from the menu bar, and clicking on "Split".
Once the animation location is created go to "Animations" in the menu bar and chose
one. For this video we are using the pixelate animation. Here is a Youtube video demonstrating
the pixelate effect.
The last frame in this Prezi is reserved for saving your movie. To do so, click on the
Movie Maker drop down arrow, click "Save movie" from the list, and select one of the available
options. To keep things easy and simple I am just saving the movie on the computer.
Chose the location for your file, and click "Save".
Enjoy watching your video. This one is about the famous London bus, known as Road Master.
This is the end of this tutorial. Thank you for using it.
