Beginning Video Editing

This class will show your student the beginning steps of video editing. Students will learn how to use an editing program to create their own videos to share with friends and family. They will be able to upload videos into the computer and program, find and use the various tools available, cut and trim clips, add music and sounds, create titles, add special effects and more as they create their own videos to share with others. This class will be hands-on and students will be encouraged to practice with me as we learn each skill and explore the program on their own.  During the final class, all students will have the opportunity to share the video that they have created with the class. Optional: If your child is interested in uploading their videos to YouTube, please let me know and I will help them with this process, including creating a thumbnail and video description. IMPORTANT INFORMATION: The computer program we use to edit WILL NOT work on a Chromebook or mobile device (iPhone, iPad, tablet, etc.)
