I loved working with my team members, Kristie and Raquel. I thought we blended very well together. We all pitched in on the project and it seemed whenever something needed to be done, someone in our group got the job done. It was like we were puzzle pieces that fit together perfectly.
Pre-production ran very smoothly. We got our concept done with an outline and script in two days. Production is where I ran into some system non-compatibility issues with my team member’s software and it was very frustrating. I was a little anxious about everything coming together but it did and I shouldn’t have worried. Post-production proved to be a little stressed but we all are working off of very busy and complicated schedules so we were down to the wire.
My only regret about the public service announcement is the lack of live video footage. I believe if this class would have been during the summer we would have had time to collaborate such a project. Our school and extra-curricular activity schedules during this class have been crazy and that does not include our normal day to day chores!
Long distance collaboration will definitely take a while to get use to but I can’t say I dislike it entirely! Time will tell.

Windows Movie Maker still the King of Free Video Editing Software
Windows Movie Maker is still the top choice for free video editing software programs using a pc when compared to other free programs including the shareware program Wax. Windows Movie Maker, with it’s easy user interface and click-n-drag editing, make it effortless for the beginning to intermediate video editor. Whereas Wax, a much more complicated and non-friendly program, would be better suited for the advanced user.
Wax, in addition to it’s more complicated layout and usability, is viewed as problematic and outdated. Several of the online reviews at CNET’s download site for the program stated, “Bad green screen technology, can be difficult to use and plain annoying, unstable sometimes, and needs an update.” These complaints combined with the complexity of the program make it a bad choice for users searching for reliable, user-friendly video editing software.
Windows Movie Maker is simply a walk in the park for any experience level Windows user. It’s customary pull-down menus will not require extensive learning or memorization of keystrokes based on my personal use of the software. In addition to the ease of use, it has many exceptional built-in features including the powerful Automovie.
Automovie is a video enthusiast’s dream come true. Once loaded, a video can be converted into a spectacular video in a matter of seconds. It takes the loaded video content, examines it for natural breaks, cuts your video to match your music clip, and produces an amazing video ready for publication to your favorite video sharing website within minutes.
Windows Movie Maker is hands-down the best choice for the beginning to intermediate video editing software user. It’s ease of use coupled with it’s amazing features make it King!
