Lesson 3 - Making a Slide show video can be fun. You should finish taking photos this week and Making a slide show videos.

Steps for this week.

1. Our Group on http://www.vimeo.com - will be West Valley College Digital Media. This will be a private group. Which means you must join the group to see each others videos. This should help with Copyrighted music.
2. One of our students has already had to take down one of her videos on Facebook because she used copyright music in the video and slide show. Well thats Facebook. You should upload your videos to vimeo and have them showed on West Valley College Digital Media. As long as its private and for learning it should be OK for now.
3. Take the Photos you shot and create a slide show, add music if you can. You will need some kind of slide show software. You can also you Photoshop. I have posted Photoshop training for video on the Classes page of the rascov.com web site.
4. Upload the videos to your space on vimeo, make the video available to Our Digital Media group.
5. If you need help, email and let me know what software you plan to use and I maybe able to help.
