November Meeting - Edit a Short Movie and Add Special Effects

Anne - reading her script for chroma key demo

Anne Delong showed the process of creating a short movie suitable for Youtube from a variety of video, sound and still clips by using free software such as Virtual Dub and Wax 2.0. Some effects shown included green screen effects, picture-in-picture, titles/credits, transition effects, and multipel sound tracks. Anne described how YouTube treats video - making your video findable and in the right categories. Of course the videos do not have to be posted on YouTube. They can also be assembled into scenes on a DVD. The Chroma Key effect to make it seem as though you've been to exotic places!
