The making of a YouTube video was not a good experience for
me. It was my understanding that we could not use screen capture for this so I
just used an older video camera and the capture was pretty sad. I was able to
make some of the video edits, and text, and audio, but the mixes were not
representative of good work.

There were also issues will trying to embed the code on the
mixxt site. I tried it from two different computers, allowed pop-ups, updated
java and flash and tried myriad options for uploading, none of which worked.
After many hours and attempts, I finally got it to work, but I’m not really
sure what I did exactly. I still could not get the Animoto video to embed. It
may be the security settings on my home computer and I am just not willing to
risk lowering security settings to post videos. I would try it from my work
computer, but the district locks us out of the mixxt site so I cannot post.
I did not have the best experience with the YouTube assignment either. I definitely did not like that there was not an "undo" option when making changes to the video. After working on my video for several hours, I made a change that I did not like at all. I could not find a way to eliminate that change, so I had to start over. My students are also blocked from using YouTube at school, so I do not think this is something that I would be able to use in my classroom.
ReplyDeleteI also did not have a good experience with youtube. Although I love using the youtube videos in class, I do not like creating them on youtube. Good job on your project.
ReplyDeleteThis is the first time I created such a video online. And I feel excited about it, though it really had some problems when I created it. But for you, I guess you did a good job. Like you said, you had some trouble when creating the video, but after solving the problem, we may remember those wrong places deeper, right? So, it is also a good lesson for us all to understand how to make a video clip anyway.
