Overview

You can use whatever software you would like to use for this assignment, but we'll help you use Windows Moviemaker - it's not fancy, but it will get the job done, and it's available free on any Windows-based PC. To find Windows Moviemaker, click on the Start Menu, go to All Programs, then Accessories - Moviemaker should be in that folder.

Here are the basic steps for creating a video:

1. Locate materials you want to use in your video (other video clips, text, audio, etc.) and collect it into a folder.
2. Import your materials into a new Windows Moviemaker project.
3. Edit, clip, arrange, and mash together your materials within Windows Moviemaker.
4. Save your work as a file that can be uploaded to YouTube.
5. Upload to YouTube.
