~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So that everyone has a chance to learn editing methods, we will use this free editing program which runs on Apple and PC laptops and MacBooks. While you can do all editing functions with the free version, if you save the production, it will display a watermark, unless you purchase a license which costs $39.90, so it's not an expensive video program.

So bring your laptops along to the class, especially in weeks 3-5.

Lesson notes of this course will be emailed to students, in DOC format, free of charge, so you can either print them out or view them on your computer

Week 4

Hi Everyone,

Last week we had a look at the video footage shot by members of this class in week 3. There were some fabulous clips available to us to chose from. We then started the editing process of our movie "THE BRIDGE" but ran out of time before our session expired. Editing is a very time consuming effort. However the movie is now finished and ready to be uploaded to the U3A Camera Club You Tube channel on Tuesday.

Here are some scenes from the finished movie:

The Location

Some of the fauna

More wildlife

And some Flora

Because the uploading of the movie will take some time, I ask you to bring along your cameras and tripods and we'll practice shooting some clips in the room.

I'll try to answer any questions you may have.

SEE YOU ON TUESDAY
