That is right, make you own online video, start your video blogging and build your video content. You see, just like television became ubiquitous in the 1950s, online video is simply ‘EXPLODING’ in widespread popularity as you read this.
And here is the best part – due to the changes in technology, it is now super easy for even ‘non-geeks’ like us to post amazingly powerful videos online in double quick time!
What is more, judging by the phenomenal success rate many Internet marketers have had with this ‘technological marvel,’ it is safe to say that the online video revolution is HERE TO STAY!
In this article, I am going to walk you through the entire process of making your own simple video with Windows Movie Maker (WMM). Don’t worry, it’s fun and really easy! But if you are looking to become the next George Lucas, this software is probably not going to help you. If however, you only want to put up some simple, good-quality video clips, then Windows Movie Maker should be perfect for the job.
This software makes it super easy for just about anyone (yes, even an absolute newbie!) to create some great movies from their computer. All you’ve got to do is build your storyboard, edit the clips, throw in some music to the mix, and you’ll have your video ready in no time at all!
Alright, let’s get started!
Step # 1: Build a storyboard
Windows Movie Maker is designed to automatically divide your video clip into segments, so you can effortlessly drag and drop the sections you choose onto the storyboard. This also where you’ll put together your new video.
Here is how you build a storyboard:
* Import video or pictures to your computer. You can do this by clicking on the links on the ‘Movie Tasks’ pane on the left side of the window.
* As you are doing this, you’ll be able to view each one of them in the ‘Collections’ box right on top of the page.
* Now, double-click on each clip, to see how it looks like in the ‘Preview’ window.
* OK, once you have made up your mind over which ones you are going to include in the video, simply click and drag the clips to the ‘Storyboard’ in the order in which you’d like for them to be published in the video.
* If you want to re-arrange any of your clips, just drag and drop them to a different location on the storyboard! See how easy this is?
Step # 2: It is time to edit your clips
Here is how you do it:
* Click on any clip in the ‘Timeline’ you want to trim. (You will find the timeline just below the tab ‘show storyboard’ at the bottom half of the window)
* Drag the scroll bar slowly in the ‘Preview’ window, and see how the video progresses. Stop your mouse at the point where you want to edit the clip.
* Now, head over to the ‘Clip’ menu and select ‘Set Start Trim Point.’
* Keep dragging the progress indicator until you reach the desired end point of your clip.
* Once again, open up your ‘Clip’ menu. This time round however, you want to choose the ‘Set End Trim Point’ option.
* There, you will now have an edited version of your clip!
Step # 3: Add in some music to spice things up!
* You need to do this the same way you imported video and pictures earlier on! Simply click on the tab ‘Import Audio Or Music’ and pick the music track you want featured in your video.
* Next, select ‘Import.’
* You will now see the track in the your ‘Collection’ view.
* Thereafter, click on the tab ‘Show Timeline’ in the ‘Storyboard’ section, and then drag the track to the Audio/Music level of the Timeline.
***Important***
Make sure you save the video in AVI Format, since it is usually much smaller in size and compatible with both Google Video as well as YouTube.
Alright, now you have done it – you have just created a cool movie! To view your new video, just click on the ‘Play’ button in the ‘Preview’ box. Enjoy!
