In this 4-week course, students will learn editing techniques that is common in YouTube video creation. Students will learn the following editing techniques on iMovie: Week 1: How to find and use stock videos and music from Pixabay & Pexels. How to edit the stock videos in iMovie. Week 2: Creating your own green screen video using Apple Keynote. Week 3: Video overlay tricks (picture-in-picture, green screen, etc.). Week 4: Creating your own handwriting animation video. My class is structured as a fun and creative environment and I want my students to be involved. When I'm editing a video during class, students will also be editing a video at the exact same time. During the course, students will be able to ask questions and interact with me. All students will eventually present their videos during class that demonstrate their own unique editing skills. Prior editing experience is optional, but not required. However, I highly recommend taking my 'Let's Have Fun With iMovie Class' if your child has no experience in video editing.

Teacher expertise and credentials
🚩As of January 21, 2025 I will be taking a break from teaching.🚩
Welcome! My name is Simon Tse and I can't wait to have you in class. The classes that I will be teaching are focused on movie making and video editing. I have a bachelor’s degree from DeVry University. I majored in network and communications management. Before I became a teacher, I was working as a technology mentor to students at a Catholic school. I started teaching computer skills, video editing skills, and audio editing skills to many students. I believe that students will learn when they are challenged and having fun at the same time. I am very patient, and I will always help my students when they are having trouble during
the lessons.
In 2020, I started my own YouTube channel about technology and it has continued to grow with a strong community of viewers.
When I have spare time, I like to do many things. I like to watch movies, read comic books, take an archery class, and play basketball. I also love going to comic book conventions! I’m looking forward to meeting you.
