This weeks assignment was to create a podcast or vodcast of a video editing software. I was excited to begin this assignment because it sounded like so much fun. I completed all the readings/tutorials and decided that I really wanted to use a free program that was not real mainstream. Windows Movie Maker and iTunes are great programs but I felt that everyone would be doing those. I Googled free video editing software and spent several days downloading and trying to learn new programs. Some of what I downloaded worked great but would not create videos with easy to use file extensions. A lot of the programs only allowed you to upload the videos to their websites and you had to view them from there. Some of the programs I downloaded would not work at all or they downloaded a bunch of junk with the program that required a lot of time to delete from my computer.
After a lot of frustration and wasted time I ended up using Camtasia to record my screen while creating a video in Windows Movie Maker. Once I had the video completed I used Camtasia to add my voice narration for the vodcast. It was easy to do and a lot of fun.
