Have you ever wanted to make a video to post on YouTube, Twitter, or Facebook? With this tutorial, you will be able to add music, transitions and effects to images and video clips in order to make fun videos to share with your friends. You will need to have a Windows computer and it will helpful to already have a folder with images (JPEG) or video clips (MOV), and at least one music (WAV, MP3) file.
Watch the following clip on your own to get ideas about your Video Logo. This is a short movie clip (10-15 seconds) that you will add to the end of your PSA to "sign" it. The Video Logo you are creating should be a reflection of your personality, and is intended to let people know who created the movie it follows. It can be used at the end or the beginning of a movie. I want you to pretend you are creating a Movie Production Studio and give some thought to the kind of movies and messages you would like to support. Be creative and have fun with this project. It can be serious, funny or anything you want it to be. Please make sure you use the clip you created in Soundation for this project. You may find pictures and other video clips online or sign out a camera. I have a limited amount of equipment, so you will have to share.
Please create a Video Logo (Movie Marquis) in OpenShot Video Editor. It should be 10 to 15 seconds long and use audio, pictures/video, titles and effects. You must create your music for this project with Soundation.
