Movie Maker

            This project was definitely a learn by doing process. Only by trial and error, as well as looking up how-to blogs on the internet could I figure out how to use movie maker, and even then I still had problems. I first made “knave” as a power point document with around 70 slides. I had trouble uploading the slides to movie maker, but when I changed the file type, it worked like a charm. I narrated my movie to add the sound, and edited the slide durations. My biggest problem I had was when I was trying to publish the project, which I am sure you will still see evidence of. I tried publishing it to e-mail and then it just got sent into cyber space and I have no idea which e-mail it was talking about. Then I published it to the computer which seemed to work, because I could watch it on the computer. However, when it came to posting it on my blog it was no where to be found. It showed up on windows media player as a .wmv, which I could e-mail to myself, unlike the previous file name. Then when it was done and I was trying to reopen it, all the slides showed up as little Xs. Altogether, converting my slides to video was the easy part, but publishing the video was no easy task.
