Draft:PowerPoint (PC)/Adding Video and Sound

2012-03-05T21:19:06Z

EBirch10: /* Embedding Videos */

Videos and audio files can be "embedded" in PowerPoint slides.

In this way you can show short movie clips or listen to sound files as an accent to your presentation or as a major feature of it.

*Play a scene from a movie
*Illustrate a point
*Let the author speak for him or herself

When embedded, the files can be set to automatically start when the slide appears or at the interval you want.

Alternatively, video and sound can be hyperlinked to your slide and can be played by streaming the media from the internet. But embedded files have the advantage of not requiring a internet connection and avoid annoying load-delays for streaming, and will keep your presentation active, instead of switching to another application such as an internet browser.

You should be careful to understand, however, copyright restrictions, and how they apply to your usage. Only videos and sound files that you personally created or whose copies you own, or which are otherwise permitted for Fair Use in classrooms should be embedded in your PowerPoint. Generally, you should avoid public performance, publication or broadcast of these files. But in most cases limited classroom use should be no problem.

{{:Copyright & Fair Use}}

==Embedding Videos==
[[File:PC_movie_powerpoint.png|left| 600 px]]
To embed a video to slide, click on the icon for movie in the slide.

Or use the menu '''Insert>Movie...'''

::'''NOTE: To edit videos for PowerPoint, see [[MovieMaker (PC)|MovieMaker]] and related help.'''

A dialog will prompt you to locate the file in the usual way.

The common video files that can be used in Microsoft PowerPoint for a PC are those made for Microsoft Media Player (WMV) as well files that ordinarily work for a PC in such as AVI, or MPEG.

Flash (FLV) files will '''not''' work with PowerPoint on the PC.

After selection you will be prompted to decide whether you want the movie to start automatically (default) or on a click.

The movie will be centered and will appear on the slide as freeze frame. The movie image can be resized, using "handles" on the corners of the image to make it smaller or larger. Keep in mind that a larger size will probably be more blurry.

On the top of the menu, a special set of tools, under the tab "Move Tools," will become available when you '''select''' the movie object for the selected movie.

In the toolbar you can change several features of the movie's presentation, including:
*Timing of when it plays
*Change volume
*Change object size
*Toggle to show full screen
*Loop it

[[File:toolbar_movie_powerpoint_PC.png|600 px| Tools/Options for Movie Objects]]

===How to Download YouTube Videos or other FLV (Flash) Files===

In the case of most YouTube content, there are no copyright restrictions to viewing.

Here are many different online services that will download YouTube and other video content to your computer. Here are just a few:

[http://www.downloadyoutubevideos.com/ DownLoadYouTubeVideo]

[http://javimoya.com/blog/youtube_en.php Javimoya]

[http://www.savevid.com/ SaveVid]

[http://keepvid.com/ KeepVid]<--''probably the best bet!''

You may use these services for YouTube, MetaCafe, Google Video and others. You generally need to copy and paste the URL for the video into a window. So you will need to access or choose the item first.

::'''These online resources usually permit you to save/convert your files to a file format you can use with PowerPoint on the PC (WMV, AVI, MP4).'''

::'''REMEMBER: files will need to be in one of these formats to work with PowerPoint on the PC.'''

===Converting FLV for use in Powerpoint===

There several utilities that can be used to convert files from FLV or MP4 to AVI which is the file format used by PowerPoint in the PC.

Go to [http://download.cnet.com/windows/?tag=hdr;snav CNET's Download.com for Freeware and Shareware files]. Search for "MP4 to AVI Converter" or "FLV to AVI Converter." You will find many options. Some of the Shareware software requires purchase for full use and may come with serious limitations in the demonstration mode. Freeware software can be, on the other hand, a bit clumsy in design, not easy to use, and can be faulty.

Here are two freeware apps that are reliable, but you may find them a bit confusing to use. There is help documentation for them.

:*For Converting between MP4 and AVI -- try this: [http://download.cnet.com/Pazera-Free-MP4-to-AVI-Converter/3000-2194_4-10784027.html?tag=mncol Pazera MP4 to AVI Converter (Free)]

:*For Converting between FLV and AVI -- try this: [http://download.cnet.com/Pazera-Free-FLV-to-AVI-Converter/3000-2194_4-10786669.html?tag=mncol Pazera FLV to AVI Converter (Free)]

===Embedding FLV (e.g., YouTube Video) ''without'' Conversion===
{{:Embedding UTUBE Videos (PowerPoint 2007)}}

==Embedding Sound Files==
[[File:PC_PWRPT_soundmenu.png‎|right| 300 px|Dialog for Selecting Sound Files for PowerPoint]]To embed a sound file, use the Tool bar menu item '''Insert>Sound ....'''

The dialog allows you to select files from a file, play one from a CD, or get a song from the Clip Organizer.

You can also chose to record a voice-over from this point as well--to add comment to your slide.

Select files in the customary way... locating files in the directory.

An object will be placed with a small sound icon on the screen.

Using the toolbar which appears above the menu when the icon/object is selected, you can modify the same kind of things you might with video:

*Timing of when it plays
*Change volume
*Loop it

==Using Hyperlinks to Stream Media==
[[File:PC_PWRPT_hyperlinkmenu.png‎| 500 px]]

Using a selected object of string of text, use the command on the menu '''Insert>Hyperlink''' to open a dialog box to properly input the specifications of the hyperlink.

The hyperlink will open the streaming media or other pages in the web browser which is the default for the computer.

During the slide show, the hyperlink will be active.

Clicking on it will launch the browser and start the streaming media.

::'''SPECIAL: At the end of the media, use keyboard short-cut ALT-TAB to get a pop-up menu of applications to choose available open applications. Choosing PowerPoint will return you to your slide show.

Draft:Adobe Photoshop/Making Animated GIF

2012-02-29T20:39:50Z

EBirch10:

<noinclude>
[[File:ball1.gif|100 px]]
----
You can use Photoshop to make an animated graphic like this bouncing ball.

Or you can use Photoshop to create a "slide show" for the web.

Like this. [[File:nebula.gif||200 px]]

==To Make an Animated Graphic==
To show the animation window choose '''Window>Animate'''.

The animated gif is made by repeating and varying "frames" for the image or object selected on the screen.

*Create or Place the Object on a transparent background. See menu '''File>Place''' to "import" a graphic image from another file into an existing or blank Photoshop canvas.
:Note: a "placed" graphic will need to be "rasterized" by the menu '''Layer>Rasterize>Smart Object...
'''
*Use the menu for Window>Animate to display the tool for GIF animation.
:[[File:Photoshop_window_animate.png]]

The controls illustrated above are then used to:
#Duplicate a frame
#The selected frame then may be modified
#The duration of the frame can be set&Mdash;in this case, it is set at .2 seconds.

Tweening is not used in this example. See next section for discussion of tweening.

In the example, a single layer and a single object on that layer is modified in each frame, changing its position to create the illusion of a "bounce." The animation can to be set to repeat forever, or repeat once or for a defined series of times.

This is a screen shot of the animation window and the canvas in the original.

[[File:ball_frames_photoshop.png]]

To save an animated Gif, choose '''File>Save for Web or Devices...''' and select for the file type "Gif."

Animated images will be processed automatically.
</noinclude>
==To Use an Animated Gif for a Slide Show for a Web==
[[File:Photoshop_New_File.png|thumb|450 px| Dialog for New File with Web Preset Selected]][[File:Photoshop_Slide_animation.png|thumb|450 px| Screen shot of slide show animation in progress...]][[File:Photoshop_GIF_export.png|thumb|450 px| Dialog of GIF file options...]]
You can create an animated GIF that basically rotates through a series of images within a single file. The "rotating" images are created from multiple "layers" in a Photoshop file. Then the viewing of the layers are animated to alternate between them.

Here are the steps for creating an animation of four different images which have been scaled to a preset web canvas of 640 x 480.

====Steps to Create Layers====

# Use menu for '''File>New'''. See Dialog to the right with preset web design. NOTE: Background is set to transparent. 
# Use menu '''File>Place''' to select a photo or other image file and place it on the canvas in the first layer. Press ENTER to accept it. NOTE: you may need to resize or crop your images to fit the canvas. 
# Use menu '''Layer>New''' to create a new layer in an empty canvas.
# Repeat File>Place with the new layer selected.
# Repeat the process of New Layer and Place until you have as many images as you wish to rotate in your animated GIF.

====Steps to Animate Layers====

# Use menu to open Window>Animation. NOTE: The opening frame will show the topmost visible layer, which will be the last image "placed" onto the file. 
# Set the image duration in the first frame at 5 or 10 seconds as the default for all frames. You can change each individual frame there after.
# Duplicate the frame.
# With the new frame selected, make the topmost layer invisible so that the next image (layer) comes to view in the frame.
# Duplicate the frame and repeat the process of revealing the next image (layer) until you have come to the last image (frame).

====Tweening====

Selecting a layer, and clicking on the tweening option will offer you a dialog in which you can choose to create a transition between the selected frame and the one before it or the one after it. By default it will create a 5 frame sequence of gradually fading from one to the other. There are variations that can be made to this.

::NOTE: you will want to set the image duration of these "tweened" frames to something like .1 or .2 seconds to enhance the effect.

====Steps to Export to a GIF File====

# Use the menu '''File>Save for Web & Devices...
'''
# In the dialog use a preset for GIF such as 128 colors dithered, or set to 256 colors. Only GIF will animate.
# Set the animation for "Forever" if it is not so set.

Here is the resulting animated GIF in a scaled down image.

Draft:IMovie (Mac) / Basic iMovie Overview

2012-02-24T20:52:51Z

EBirch10: /* Other Resources */

=Necessary pre-editing information=

* Our [[Digital Camera/Helpful Filming Techniques|Helpful Filming Techniques]] wiki page is full of information to teach you about some simple ways to optimize the filming of the raw videos, which will improve the overall quality of the final product, as well as add ease to the editing process.

==FlipCam information==

* The FlipCams have very basic functionality.
** The adjustable settings are: language, date, time, camera sounds (on/off), & recording light (on/off).
*** To change any of these settings, press and hold the "Record" button immediately after turning the camera on until the options appear.
** While recording: you can zoom in and out.
** While reviewing: you can play videos, change the volume, and delete clips from the camera.

[[File: FlipBack2.jpg | FlipCam button functions]]

* What the Flip lacks:
** Microphone port
** Manual focus
** Different modes (for filming at night, sporting events, etc.)
** Auto-steady (to help counteract shaky filming)

* Zoom
** Not all FlipCams have a zoom function, but most do. To zoom in and out, use the + and - buttons on the left and right sides of the record button while filming.
** [[Helpful Filming Techniques#Zoom | Tips for when to use zoom]]

==FlipShare program==

* FlipShare [[Flip Video Camcorder#First Time Use: Loading FlipShare | Software Setup]]
** If the application is deleted from the camera, you can [http://support.theflip.com/en-us/flipshare download it here]; the Windows and Mac download links are about halfway down the page in the right column.

* [[Flip Video Camcorder#Basic Use of FlipShare Application and Flip Video Cam | Importing files]] onto your machine using FlipShare

==Backup==

* Once you've imported the raw video files onto your computer, '''BACK THEM UP'''. Keeping extra copies of your video files is good insurance against accidental deletion. If a file is deleted, you can just make a copy of the backup and begin working with it, instead of having to re-shoot your videos.
* If a video file is deleted in iMovie, the file WILL BE deleted from the computer, so backing up data is even more important on the Macs.
* Several options are available:
** Mac
*** [[Network/Mac Network Storage| Network storage]]
*** [[File backup/MAC/CD or DVD| CD/DVD]]
*** [[File backup/MAC/Flash or External Drive| External hard drive/flash drive]]
** PC
*** [[Network/Student Storage on the Network (PC) | Network storage]]
*** [[File backup/PC/CD or DVD | CD/DVD]]
*** [[File backup/PC/Flash or External Drive | External hard drive/flash drive]]

==Saving each step in editing==

* During the editing process, it's a good idea to save the project with a new file name each time you edit, instead of just saving over past work. If a mistake is made or a file is corrupted/lost, you can revert to the last copy without losing all your work up to that point.
** Every time you open the project to edit it, select File>Save As and rename the file; that way you can save several times during each editing session, and you won't accidentally write over the older files.
** Some common ways people successively name their files include:
*** Numbering up: Example1.imovieproj, Example2.imovieproj, Example3.imovieproj, etc.
*** Dates edited: Example3-10-11.imovieproj, Example3-13-11.imovieproj, Example3-20-11.imovieproj, etc.

==File formats==

* The FlipCams automatically save the raw video as one of two file formats:
** The original Flips save the files as .avi
** The HD versions of the Flip save files as .mp4
* iMovie supports these files types
* Older versions of Windows Movie Maker cannot work with these file types, so the videos must be converted (preferably to .wmv)
* Windows Live Movie Maker 2011, however, can work with the FlipCam's exported files with no modification or conversion

==iMovie General Overview==

[[File:imovie_layout.png | 750 px]]

*'''1 (Project):''' This window is where you will build your project. To add clips to your project, drag them to this window from the Event Library.

*'''2 (Event Library):''' This window contains all video files that have been imported to your computer.

*'''3 (Expanded Library View):''' Video files that have been imported will be displayed in this window after selecting an event from the Event Library.

*'''4 (Voiceover):''' Allows you to add narration to a video.

*'''5 (Crop Options):''' Allows you to crop a clip and/or add a Ken Burns effect.

*'''6 (Inspector):''' Allows you to change options associated with a video or audio clip. Double clicking on a clip will also display this box.

*'''7 (Audio):''' Allows you to add audio from your iTunes library or an iLife sound effect.

*'''8 (Photos):''' Allows you to browse and add files from your iPhoto library.

*'''9 (Text):''' Allows you to add a text overlay, opening title, or credits to a still frame or video.

*'''10 (Transitions):''' Allows you to add transitions between video clips and still frames. This option also allows you to choose a theme for your project.

*'''11 (Maps and Backgrounds):''' Allows you to add an animated map or background to your project.

=Interactive demonstration=

* Each section includes step-by-step instructions, and other information.
* A link to a YouTube video is available for each topic.

==Importing videos into iMovie==

* Before you edit any video using iMovie, you must first create an Event, and import the files into the program.
** An Event is essentially a set of files, grouped together by the user, which may be used in the current project to add to the ease of finding all the relevant videos while editing.
* The "Import" options (import from camera, import from computer, etc.) can be found in the file menu, or by right-clicking in the Events area.
* After selecting the appropriate Import option, you simply need to select the files you'd like to add to the Event.
** Holding Command while clicking allows you to select multiple files one at a time.
** Selecting one file, holding Shift, then clicking another file down the list will allow you to select those two files as well as every one in between.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82vniGEW7mc Importing Videos From the FlipCam]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9_PuXJLnIc Importing Videos Saved On Your Computer]

==Adding, cutting & rearranging clips==

* You probably won't want to use every bit of video you recorded, and the files will not be in the proper order, so knowing how to cut and rearrange is crucial.
* Hover over any of the newly imported files, and a preview of that moment will appear in the window above.
* Click and drag to select any of the video you'd like to work with, and then drag those clips to the top left editing window, one at a time.
** It's a better idea to add too much footage to the editing pane than not enough, because more can always be cut out during the rest of the process.
* Once all your desired video is added, the clips can be moved around one another in the same way they were added.
** You CANNOT move a segment in the editing pane without moving the entire clip.
** This can be solved by secondary-clicking where you'd like to cut a clip apart, then selecting "Split Clip." Now the clip is two independent parts; this can be done as many times as you'd like.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQtQj2nOcxs Adding/cutting/rearranging]

==Adding PowerPoint slides/photos==

* Photos are added to the time line/editing window the same way as videos, and may be moved and manipulated in the same manner
* All photos must be added to an iPhoto album before they can be imported into iMovie
* PowerPoint presentations (or specific slides) can be sent to iPhoto, which will create a separate .jpg image of each slide
* An image can be created from any frame of video in the editing area by right-clicking that frame and selecting "Add Freeze Frame"

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrbUWAZP130 Adding/creating photos]

==Cropping==

* The cropping screen can be accessed by double-clicking the crop icon in the corner of a clip, or by hitting the crop button near the center of the screen
* Fit-Fits a clip (typically a still image) fully in the frame of your video, instead of cropping it
* Crop-Cuts down a clip to show a specific part of the image/video of your choosing
* Ken Burns-Begins and ends a clip at different parts of the image/video to create a panning effect through the duration
* Rotate-Rotates a clip at 90 degree intervals
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZCVCpKib1c Cropping & rotation window]

==Adding title screens/subtitles/name introductions/credits==

* All four of the functions are the actually the same step
* The panel may be found underneath the preview window, by clicking the Titles button
* Each of the options can be dragged into the timeline
** Can be inserted over existing video/images to show text over the scene
** Can be inserted before/between/after clips and then a background is chosen for the text
** All text may be personalized and added to
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl_ajQ0XR7I Adding on-screen text]

==Transitions==

* The transitions button is below the preview window
* Transitions are dragged into the timeline like everything else
* You can choose the length of time and how much the transition actually overlaps your clips through the settings
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGNqdLY-AAY Adding transitions]

==Effects==

* Effects are all found through the settings option of each clip
* The overall color and appearance can be manipulated, but the effect will apply to the entire clip
** Splitting the clip will allow you to add different effects to different segments
* Many preset effects, such as romantic (softens the picture and adds a glow around the perimeter) and old film (grainy, sepia toned effect that also adds occasional black flecks and lines) are available by default
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOxK1ltp4_w Adding Effects]

==Audio-background audio/music==

* iMovie and iLife each come with an assortment of sound effects and music clips
* iTunes songs may be added from your library into a video
* Basic audio controls, such as fading and ducking are available in the settings menu
** More advanced manipulation will require another program, such as GarageBand

Draft:IMovie (Mac) / Basic iMovie Overview

2012-02-24T20:52:17Z

EBirch10: /* Other Resources */

=Necessary pre-editing information=

* Our [[Digital Camera/Helpful Filming Techniques|Helpful Filming Techniques]] wiki page is full of information to teach you about some simple ways to optimize the filming of the raw videos, which will improve the overall quality of the final product, as well as add ease to the editing process.

==FlipCam information==

* The FlipCams have very basic functionality.
** The adjustable settings are: language, date, time, camera sounds (on/off), & recording light (on/off).
*** To change any of these settings, press and hold the "Record" button immediately after turning the camera on until the options appear.
** While recording: you can zoom in and out.
** While reviewing: you can play videos, change the volume, and delete clips from the camera.

[[File: FlipBack2.jpg | FlipCam button functions]]

* What the Flip lacks:
** Microphone port
** Manual focus
** Different modes (for filming at night, sporting events, etc.)
** Auto-steady (to help counteract shaky filming)

* Zoom
** Not all FlipCams have a zoom function, but most do. To zoom in and out, use the + and - buttons on the left and right sides of the record button while filming.
** [[Helpful Filming Techniques#Zoom | Tips for when to use zoom]]

==FlipShare program==

* FlipShare [[Flip Video Camcorder#First Time Use: Loading FlipShare | Software Setup]]
** If the application is deleted from the camera, you can [http://support.theflip.com/en-us/flipshare download it here]; the Windows and Mac download links are about halfway down the page in the right column.

* [[Flip Video Camcorder#Basic Use of FlipShare Application and Flip Video Cam | Importing files]] onto your machine using FlipShare

==Backup==

* Once you've imported the raw video files onto your computer, '''BACK THEM UP'''. Keeping extra copies of your video files is good insurance against accidental deletion. If a file is deleted, you can just make a copy of the backup and begin working with it, instead of having to re-shoot your videos.
* If a video file is deleted in iMovie, the file WILL BE deleted from the computer, so backing up data is even more important on the Macs.
* Several options are available:
** Mac
*** [[Network/Mac Network Storage| Network storage]]
*** [[File backup/MAC/CD or DVD| CD/DVD]]
*** [[File backup/MAC/Flash or External Drive| External hard drive/flash drive]]
** PC
*** [[Network/Student Storage on the Network (PC) | Network storage]]
*** [[File backup/PC/CD or DVD | CD/DVD]]
*** [[File backup/PC/Flash or External Drive | External hard drive/flash drive]]

==Saving each step in editing==

* During the editing process, it's a good idea to save the project with a new file name each time you edit, instead of just saving over past work. If a mistake is made or a file is corrupted/lost, you can revert to the last copy without losing all your work up to that point.
** Every time you open the project to edit it, select File>Save As and rename the file; that way you can save several times during each editing session, and you won't accidentally write over the older files.
** Some common ways people successively name their files include:
*** Numbering up: Example1.imovieproj, Example2.imovieproj, Example3.imovieproj, etc.
*** Dates edited: Example3-10-11.imovieproj, Example3-13-11.imovieproj, Example3-20-11.imovieproj, etc.

==File formats==

* The FlipCams automatically save the raw video as one of two file formats:
** The original Flips save the files as .avi
** The HD versions of the Flip save files as .mp4
* iMovie supports these files types
* Older versions of Windows Movie Maker cannot work with these file types, so the videos must be converted (preferably to .wmv)
* Windows Live Movie Maker 2011, however, can work with the FlipCam's exported files with no modification or conversion

==iMovie General Overview==

[[File:imovie_layout.png | 750 px]]

*'''1 (Project):''' This window is where you will build your project. To add clips to your project, drag them to this window from the Event Library.

*'''2 (Event Library):''' This window contains all video files that have been imported to your computer.

*'''3 (Expanded Library View):''' Video files that have been imported will be displayed in this window after selecting an event from the Event Library.

*'''4 (Voiceover):''' Allows you to add narration to a video.

*'''5 (Crop Options):''' Allows you to crop a clip and/or add a Ken Burns effect.

*'''6 (Inspector):''' Allows you to change options associated with a video or audio clip. Double clicking on a clip will also display this box.

*'''7 (Audio):''' Allows you to add audio from your iTunes library or an iLife sound effect.

*'''8 (Photos):''' Allows you to browse and add files from your iPhoto library.

*'''9 (Text):''' Allows you to add a text overlay, opening title, or credits to a still frame or video.

*'''10 (Transitions):''' Allows you to add transitions between video clips and still frames. This option also allows you to choose a theme for your project.

*'''11 (Maps and Backgrounds):''' Allows you to add an animated map or background to your project.

=Interactive demonstration=

* Each section includes step-by-step instructions, and other information.
* A link to a YouTube video is available for each topic.

==Importing videos into iMovie==

* Before you edit any video using iMovie, you must first create an Event, and import the files into the program.
** An Event is essentially a set of files, grouped together by the user, which may be used in the current project to add to the ease of finding all the relevant videos while editing.
* The "Import" options (import from camera, import from computer, etc.) can be found in the file menu, or by right-clicking in the Events area.
* After selecting the appropriate Import option, you simply need to select the files you'd like to add to the Event.
** Holding Command while clicking allows you to select multiple files one at a time.
** Selecting one file, holding Shift, then clicking another file down the list will allow you to select those two files as well as every one in between.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82vniGEW7mc Importing Videos From the FlipCam]
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9_PuXJLnIc Importing Videos Saved On Your Computer]

==Adding, cutting & rearranging clips==

* You probably won't want to use every bit of video you recorded, and the files will not be in the proper order, so knowing how to cut and rearrange is crucial.
* Hover over any of the newly imported files, and a preview of that moment will appear in the window above.
* Click and drag to select any of the video you'd like to work with, and then drag those clips to the top left editing window, one at a time.
** It's a better idea to add too much footage to the editing pane than not enough, because more can always be cut out during the rest of the process.
* Once all your desired video is added, the clips can be moved around one another in the same way they were added.
** You CANNOT move a segment in the editing pane without moving the entire clip.
** This can be solved by secondary-clicking where you'd like to cut a clip apart, then selecting "Split Clip." Now the clip is two independent parts; this can be done as many times as you'd like.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQtQj2nOcxs Adding/cutting/rearranging]

==Adding PowerPoint slides/photos==

* Photos are added to the time line/editing window the same way as videos, and may be moved and manipulated in the same manner
* All photos must be added to an iPhoto album before they can be imported into iMovie
* PowerPoint presentations (or specific slides) can be sent to iPhoto, which will create a separate .jpg image of each slide
* An image can be created from any frame of video in the editing area by right-clicking that frame and selecting "Add Freeze Frame"

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrbUWAZP130 Adding/creating photos]

==Cropping==

* The cropping screen can be accessed by double-clicking the crop icon in the corner of a clip, or by hitting the crop button near the center of the screen
* Fit-Fits a clip (typically a still image) fully in the frame of your video, instead of cropping it
* Crop-Cuts down a clip to show a specific part of the image/video of your choosing
* Ken Burns-Begins and ends a clip at different parts of the image/video to create a panning effect through the duration
* Rotate-Rotates a clip at 90 degree intervals
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZCVCpKib1c Cropping & rotation window]

==Adding title screens/subtitles/name introductions/credits==

* All four of the functions are the actually the same step
* The panel may be found underneath the preview window, by clicking the Titles button
* Each of the options can be dragged into the timeline
** Can be inserted over existing video/images to show text over the scene
** Can be inserted before/between/after clips and then a background is chosen for the text
** All text may be personalized and added to
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl_ajQ0XR7I Adding on-screen text]

==Transitions==

* The transitions button is below the preview window
* Transitions are dragged into the timeline like everything else
* You can choose the length of time and how much the transition actually overlaps your clips through the settings
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGNqdLY-AAY Adding transitions]

==Effects==

* Effects are all found through the settings option of each clip
* The overall color and appearance can be manipulated, but the effect will apply to the entire clip
** Splitting the clip will allow you to add different effects to different segments
* Many preset effects, such as romantic (softens the picture and adds a glow around the perimeter) and old film (grainy, sepia toned effect that also adds occasional black flecks and lines) are available by default
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOxK1ltp4_w Adding Effects]

==Audio-background audio/music==

* iMovie and iLife each come with an assortment of sound effects and music clips
* iTunes songs may be added from your library into a video
* Basic audio controls, such as fading and ducking are available in the settings menu
** More advanced manipulation will require another program, such as GarageBand

* Each section includes step-by-step instructions, and other information.
* A link to a YouTube video is available for each topic.

==Importing videos into iMovie==

* Before you edit any video using iMovie, you must first create an Event, and import the files into the program.
** An Event is essentially a set of files, grouped together by the user, which may be used in the current project to add to the ease of finding all the relevant videos while editing.
* The "Import" options (import from camera, import from computer, etc.) can be found in the file menu, or by right-clicking in the Events area.
* After selecting the appropriate Import option, you simply need to select the files you'd like to add to the Event.
** Holding Command while clicking allows you to select multiple files one at a time.
** Selecting one file, holding Shift, then clicking another file down the list will allow you to select those two files as well as every one in between.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9_PuXJLnIc Importing Videos Saved On Your Computer]

==Adding, cutting & rearranging clips==

* You probably won't want to use every bit of video you recorded, and the files will not be in the proper order, so knowing how to cut and rearrange is crucial.
* Hover over any of the newly imported files, and a preview of that moment will appear in the window above.
* Click and drag to select any of the video you'd like to work with, and then drag those clips to the top left editing window, one at a time.
** It's a better idea to add too much footage to the editing pane than not enough, because more can always be cut out during the rest of the process.
* Once all your desired video is added, the clips can be moved around one another in the same way they were added.
** You CANNOT move a segment in the editing pane without moving the entire clip.
** This can be solved by secondary-clicking where you'd like to cut a clip apart, then selecting "Split Clip." Now the clip is two independent parts; this can be done as many times as you'd like.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQtQj2nOcxs Adding/cutting/rearranging]

==Adding PowerPoint slides/photos==

* Photos are added to the time line/editing window the same way as videos, and may be moved and manipulated in the same manner
* All photos must be added to an iPhoto album before they can be imported into iMovie
* PowerPoint presentations (or specific slides) can be sent to iPhoto, which will create a separate .jpg image of each slide
* An image can be created from any frame of video in the editing area by right-clicking that frame and selecting "Add Freeze Frame"

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrbUWAZP130 Adding/creating photos]

==Cropping==

* The cropping screen can be accessed by double-clicking the crop icon in the corner of a clip, or by hitting the crop button near the center of the screen
* Fit-Fits a clip (typically a still image) fully in the frame of your video, instead of cropping it
* Crop-Cuts down a clip to show a specific part of the image/video of your choosing
* Ken Burns-Begins and ends a clip at different parts of the image/video to create a panning effect through the duration
* Rotate-Rotates a clip at 90 degree intervals

==Adding title screens/subtitles/name introductions/credits==

* All four of the functions are the actually the same step
* The panel may be found underneath the preview window, by clicking the Titles button
* Each of the options can be dragged into the timeline
** Can be inserted over existing video/images to show text over the scene
** Can be inserted before/between/after clips and then a background is chosen for the text
** All text may be personalized and added to
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sl_ajQ0XR7I Adding on-screen text]

* The transitions button is below the preview window
* Transitions are dragged into the timeline like everything else
* You can choose the length of time and how much the transition actually overlaps your clips through the settings
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGNqdLY-AAY Adding transitions]

==Effects==

* Effects are all found through the settings option of each clip
* The overall color and appearance can be manipulated, but the effect will apply to the entire clip
** Splitting the clip will allow you to add different effects to different segments
* Many preset effects, such as romantic (softens the picture and adds a glow around the perimeter) and old film (grainy, sepia toned effect that also adds occasional black flecks and lines) are available by default
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOxK1ltp4_w Adding Effects]

==Audio-background audio/music==

* iMovie and iLife each come with an assortment of sound effects and music clips
* iTunes songs may be added from your library into a video
* Basic audio controls, such as fading and ducking are available in the settings menu
** More advanced manipulation will require another program, such as GarageBand

Draft:IMovie (Mac) / Basic iMovie Overview

2012-02-24T20:51:05Z

EBirch10: /* Backup */

=Necessary pre-editing information=

* Our [[Digital Camera/Helpful Filming Techniques|Helpful Filming Techniques]] wiki page is full of information to teach you about some simple ways to optimize the filming of the raw videos, which will improve the overall quality of the final product, as well as add ease to the editing process.

==FlipCam information==

* The FlipCams have very basic functionality.
** The adjustable settings are: language, date, time, camera sounds (on/off), & recording light (on/off).
*** To change any of these settings, press and hold the "Record" button immediately after turning the camera on until the options appear.
** While recording: you can zoom in and out.
** While reviewing: you can play videos, change the volume, and delete clips from the camera.

[[File: FlipBack2.jpg | FlipCam button functions]]

* What the Flip lacks:
** Microphone port
** Manual focus
** Different modes (for filming at night, sporting events, etc.)
** Auto-steady (to help counteract shaky filming)

* Zoom
** Not all FlipCams have a zoom function, but most do. To zoom in and out, use the + and - buttons on the left and right sides of the record button while filming.
** [[Helpful Filming Techniques#Zoom | Tips for when to use zoom]]

==FlipShare program==

* FlipShare [[Flip Video Camcorder#First Time Use: Loading FlipShare | Software Setup]]
** If the application is deleted from the camera, you can [http://support.theflip.com/en-us/flipshare download it here]; the Windows and Mac download links are about halfway down the page in the right column.

* [[Flip Video Camcorder#Basic Use of FlipShare Application and Flip Video Cam | Importing files]] onto your machine using FlipShare

==Backup==

* Once you've imported the raw video files onto your computer, '''BACK THEM UP'''. Keeping extra copies of your video files is good insurance against accidental deletion. If a file is deleted, you can just make a copy of the backup and begin working with it, instead of having to re-shoot your videos.
* If a video file is deleted in iMovie, the file WILL BE deleted from the computer, so backing up data is even more important on the Macs.
* Several options are available:
** Mac
*** [[Network/Mac Network Storage| Network storage]]
*** [[File backup/MAC/CD or DVD| CD/DVD]]
*** [[File backup/Mac/Flash or External Drive | External hard drive/flash drive]]
** PC
*** [[Network/Student Storage on the Network (PC) | Network storage]]
*** [[File backup/PC/CD or DVD | CD/DVD]]
*** [[File backup/PC/Flash or External Drive | External hard drive/flash drive]]

==Saving each step in editing==

* During the editing process, it's a good idea to save the project with a new file name each time you edit, instead of just saving over past work. If a mistake is made or a file is corrupted/lost, you can revert to the last copy without losing all your work up to that point.
** Every time you open the project to edit it, select File>Save As and rename the file; that way you can save several times during each editing session, and you won't accidentally write over the older files.
** Some common ways people successively name their files include:
*** Numbering up: Example1.imovieproj, Example2.imovieproj, Example3.imovieproj, etc.
*** Dates edited: Example3-10-11.imovieproj, Example3-13-11.imovieproj, Example3-20-11.imovieproj, etc.

==File formats==

* The FlipCams automatically save the raw video as one of two file formats:
** The original Flips save the files as .avi
** The HD versions of the Flip save files as .mp4
* iMovie supports these files types
* Older versions of Windows Movie Maker cannot work with these file types, so the videos must be converted (preferably to .wmv)
* Windows Live Movie Maker 2011, however, can work with the FlipCam's exported files with no modification or conversion

* The overall color and appearance can be manipulated, but the effect will apply to the entire clip
** Splitting the clip will allow you to add different effects to different segments
* Many preset effects, such as romantic (softens the picture and adds a glow around the perimeter) and old film (grainy, sepia toned effect that also adds occasional black flecks and lines) are available by default
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOxK1ltp4_w Adding Effects]

==Audio-background audio/music==

* iMovie and iLife each come with an assortment of sound effects and music clips
* iTunes songs may be added from your library into a video
* Basic audio controls, such as fading and ducking are available in the settings menu
** More advanced manipulation will require another program, such as GarageBand

Draft:IMovie (Mac) / Basic iMovie Overview

2012-02-24T20:49:22Z

EBirch10: /* Necessary pre-editing information */

=Necessary pre-editing information=

* Our [[Digital Camera/Helpful Filming Techniques|Helpful Filming Techniques]] wiki page is full of information to teach you about some simple ways to optimize the filming of the raw videos, which will improve the overall quality of the final product, as well as add ease to the editing process.

==FlipCam information==

* The FlipCams have very basic functionality.
** The adjustable settings are: language, date, time, camera sounds (on/off), & recording light (on/off).
*** To change any of these settings, press and hold the "Record" button immediately after turning the camera on until the options appear.
** While recording: you can zoom in and out.
** While reviewing: you can play videos, change the volume, and delete clips from the camera.

[[File: FlipBack2.jpg | FlipCam button functions]]

* What the Flip lacks:
** Microphone port
** Manual focus
** Different modes (for filming at night, sporting events, etc.)
** Auto-steady (to help counteract shaky filming)

* Zoom
** Not all FlipCams have a zoom function, but most do. To zoom in and out, use the + and - buttons on the left and right sides of the record button while filming.
** [[Helpful Filming Techniques#Zoom | Tips for when to use zoom]]

==FlipShare program==

* FlipShare [[Flip Video Camcorder#First Time Use: Loading FlipShare | Software Setup]]
** If the application is deleted from the camera, you can [http://support.theflip.com/en-us/flipshare download it here]; the Windows and Mac download links are about halfway down the page in the right column.

* [[Flip Video Camcorder#Basic Use of FlipShare Application and Flip Video Cam | Importing files]] onto your machine using FlipShare

==Backup==

* Once you've imported the raw video files onto your computer, '''BACK THEM UP'''. Keeping extra copies of your video files is good insurance against accidental deletion. If a file is deleted, you can just make a copy of the backup and begin working with it, instead of having to re-shoot your videos.
* If a video file is deleted in iMovie, the file WILL BE deleted from the computer, so backing up data is even more important on the Macs.
* Several options are available:
** Mac
*** [[Network/Mac network storage | Network storage]]
*** [[File backup/Mac/CD or DVD | CD/DVD]]
*** [[File backup/Mac/Flash or External Drive | External hard drive/flash drive]]
** PC
*** [[Network/Student Storage on the Network (PC) | Network storage]]
*** [[File backup/PC/CD or DVD | CD/DVD]]
*** [[File backup/PC/Flash or External Drive | External hard drive/flash drive]]

==Saving each step in editing==

* During the editing process, it's a good idea to save the project with a new file name each time you edit, instead of just saving over past work. If a mistake is made or a file is corrupted/lost, you can revert to the last copy without losing all your work up to that point.
** Every time you open the project to edit it, select File>Save As and rename the file; that way you can save several times during each editing session, and you won't accidentally write over the older files.
** Some common ways people successively name their files include:
*** Numbering up: Example1.imovieproj, Example2.imovieproj, Example3.imovieproj, etc.
*** Dates edited: Example3-10-11.imovieproj, Example3-13-11.imovieproj, Example3-20-11.imovieproj, etc.

==File formats==

* The FlipCams automatically save the raw video as one of two file formats:
** The original Flips save the files as .avi
** The HD versions of the Flip save files as .mp4
* iMovie supports these files types
* Older versions of Windows Movie Maker cannot work with these file types, so the videos must be converted (preferably to .wmv)
* Windows Live Movie Maker 2011, however, can work with the FlipCam's exported files with no modification or conversion
** [http://explore.live.com/windows-live-movie-maker?os=other Download] and [[Windows Live Movie Maker (PC)#Installing Only Select Features | installation instructions]] for Windows Live Movie Maker 2011

==iMovie General Overview==

[[File:imovie_layout.png | 750 px]]

*'''1 (Project):''' This window is where you will build your project. To add clips to your project, drag them to this window from the Event Library.

*'''2 (Event Library):''' This window contains all video files that have been imported to your computer.

*'''3 (Expanded Library View):''' Video files that have been imported will be displayed in this window after selecting an event from the Event Library.

*'''4 (Voiceover):''' Allows you to add narration to a video.

*'''5 (Crop Options):''' Allows you to crop a clip and/or add a Ken Burns effect.

*'''6 (Inspector):''' Allows you to change options associated with a video or audio clip. Double clicking on a clip will also display this box.

*'''7 (Audio):''' Allows you to add audio from your iTunes library or an iLife sound effect.

*'''8 (Photos):''' Allows you to browse and add files from your iPhoto library.

*'''9 (Text):''' Allows you to add a text overlay, opening title, or credits to a still frame or video.

*'''10 (Transitions):''' Allows you to add transitions between video clips and still frames. This option also allows you to choose a theme for your project.

*'''11 (Maps and Backgrounds):''' Allows you to add an animated map or background to your project.

=Interactive demonstration=

* Each section includes step-by-step instructions, and other information.
* A link to a YouTube video is available for each topic.

==Importing videos into iMovie==

* Before you edit any video using iMovie, you must first create an Event, and import the files into the program.
** An Event is essentially a set of files, grouped together by the user, which may be used in the current project to add to the ease of finding all the relevant videos while editing.
* The "Import" options (import from camera, import from computer, etc.) can be found in the file menu, or by right-clicking in the Events area.
* After selecting the appropriate Import option, you simply need to select the files you'd like to add to the Event.
** Holding Command while clicking allows you to select multiple files one at a time.
** Selecting one file, holding Shift, then clicking another file down the list will allow you to select those two files as well as every one in between.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9_PuXJLnIc Importing Videos Saved On Your Computer]

==Adding, cutting & rearranging clips==

* You probably won't want to use every bit of video you recorded, and the files will not be in the proper order, so knowing how to cut and rearrange is crucial.
* Hover over any of the newly imported files, and a preview of that moment will appear in the window above.
* Click and drag to select any of the video you'd like to work with, and then drag those clips to the top left editing window, one at a time.
** It's a better idea to add too much footage to the editing pane than not enough, because more can always be cut out during the rest of the process.
* Once all your desired video is added, the clips can be moved around one another in the same way they were added.
** You CANNOT move a segment in the editing pane without moving the entire clip.
** This can be solved by secondary-clicking where you'd like to cut a clip apart, then selecting "Split Clip." Now the clip is two independent parts; this can be done as many times as you'd like.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQtQj2nOcxs Adding/cutting/rearranging]

==Adding PowerPoint slides/photos==

* Photos are added to the time line/editing window the same way as videos, and may be moved and manipulated in the same manner
* All photos must be added to an iPhoto album before they can be imported into iMovie
* PowerPoint presentations (or specific slides) can be sent to iPhoto, which will create a separate .jpg image of each slide
* An image can be created from any frame of video in the editing area by right-clicking that frame and selecting "Add Freeze Frame"

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HrbUWAZP130 Adding/creating photos]

==Cropping==

* The cropping screen can be accessed by double-clicking the crop icon in the corner of a clip, or by hitting the crop button near the center of the screen
* Fit-Fits a clip (typically a still image) fully in the frame of your video, instead of cropping it
* Crop-Cuts down a clip to show a specific part of the image/video of your choosing
* Ken Burns-Begins and ends a clip at different parts of the image/video to create a panning effect through the duration
* Rotate-Rotates a clip at 90 degree intervals
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZCVCpKib1c Cropping & rotation window]

==Adding title screens/subtitles/name introductions/credits==

* All four of the functions are the actually the same step
* The panel may be found underneath the preview window, by clicking the Titles button
* Each of the options can be dragged into the timeline
** Can be inserted over existing video/images to show text over the scene
** Can be inserted before/between/after clips and then a background is chosen for the text
** All text may be personalized and added to

Draft:How to Make a Website (DW)/Step 6- Make an Index or Home Page/Design Option: Use of Backgrounds

2012-02-24T20:34:28Z

EBirch10: /* Background for Cell/Column/Row:Image */

Backgrounds in colors or in image files can be placed to cover entire web pages, or to cover individual cells/rows/columns in a table.

Backgrounds in the form of image files can in some cases be limited to how they are displayed.

Backgrounds will be overlaid by any text, objects or content put on the page. This will mean that font colors, and other properties may need to be changed to improve appearances. For example, a dark background will usually require changing font colors to a contrasting color or to white, in order to be more visible.

==Backgrounds==

The following are examples and considerations for using backgrounds on web pages.

====Background to Page: Color====

'''Example''': in the example shown the Page Properties have been changed in the Appearance (CSS) tab.
*The color was selected using the "eye-dropper" cursor from a color on the banner.
*Color can also be chose on the palette.

[[File:DW_backgrnd_color_page1.png|550 px]]

The table is transparent against the color of the page.

In the case of such a dark background, the font of text inside the table should be set to white or to a contrasting bright color. Default font is black.

In addition, while the menu (as a Library Item) shows with a color background in sepia tones as a signature for such a file, the true color is not shown in this design view on Dreamweaver. Accordingly, the background color to the menu will also need to be changed, or its font colors changed.

::NOTE: Font colors on this menu were previously set for Links.

:'''Recommended:''' Alternatively, if you are using a color background for the page, or an image on the page, you may choose instead to make the table background "white" instead of transparent. See the next section for an example

====Background to Cell/Column/Row: Color====

Tables as a whole do not have backgrounds, but cells, columns or rows may. If ALL the columns and rows are selected, then in effect the whole table may be given the identical background. Then, when a column or row is added to it, it will "inherit" that background.

'''Example''': in the example shown all the columns and rows in the table have been selected and a background color of white has been selected.

::NOTE: Because the cells have "padding" and "space" around them the darker background shows between them. To eliminate this appearance, the padding of the cells will need to be set to zero (0).

[[File:DW_backgrnd_color2.png|550 px]]

To eliminate the padding between the cells, so that the background inside the table is a solid white (or other selected color),

*Select tag for Table or use menu Modify>Table to
*Change cell padding and cell spacing to ZERO (0)

'''Example''': in the example shown below the cell padding and cell spacing has been set to ZERO. The illustration has been animated to toggle between the Design View and the Live View, so that you can see what the changes do to the appearance of the page.

[[File:DW_backgrnd_color2a.gif|550 px]]

:'''Recommended:''' when cell padding/space is set to ZERO, the table will be flush left and flush to the top of the window. In this case you may want to use Page Properties to change margins of the left and the top. See [[How to Make a Website (DW)/Step 6- Make an Index or Home Page/Design Option: Centering|Design Option: Centering & Setting Margins]] for details.

====Background to Page: Image====

Backgrounds with patterns or images can be set to pages also.
*These backgrounds can display the image once or can repeat it (tile it).
*Background images can be set by CSS to border the left side or run along the top of the page, as well as cover the whole page.
*Images of textures or woven features work well. Or a single graphic which is faded or stark for contrast.

In the first example we will show a tiled or repeated pattern taken from a copyright-free image file from the internet.

'''Example:''' This example—shown with the Page Properties dialog—sets a '''repeating image for a background''' using a pattern. The cells/columns/rows in the table have all been converted from transparent (default) to white color. The cell padding and spacing has been set to ZERO.

:'''Other Modifications:''' In this example the Top Margin under Page Properties has also been set to 10 pixels to improve appearance.

[[File:DW_tiled_bckgrnd.png|550 px]][[File:DW_page_properties_tiled_backgrnd.png|thumb|400 px|Page Properties for a Tiled Background]]

In the second example, made with a copyright-free image also taken from the internet, we will set a background to border the left side of the window. Then we will position the table (in the default alignment) with a graphic banner that blends to that border background.

'''Example:''' This example—shown with its Page Properties dialog—sets an '''a background on the y-axis''' using an image. The cells/columns/rows in the table have all been converted from transparent (default) to white color. The cell padding and spacing has been set to ZERO.

:'''Other Modifications:''' In this example, the menu has been altered to align inside the cells to the right. In addition the Top Margin under Page Properties has also been set to 0 pixels to improve appearance.

[[File:DW_blended_bckgrnd.png|550 px]][[File:DW_page_properties_y_axis_backgrnd.png|thumb|400 px|Page Properties for a Y-Axis (or left border) Background]]

This is what it will look like:

[[File:DW_blended_bckgrnd_final.png|550 px]]

====Background for Cell/Column/Row:Image====

An individual cell, a merged row of cells, a merged column of cells can also display a background image, in addition to a color.

Again, the image can be made to repeat or tile, or it can be displayed just once and positioned to the left margin of the top of the cell/column/row.

In the example below the banner row of a text based banner has applied an image file for a repeating background.

[[File:css_edit_result.png|650 px]]

In this example we modified the CSS rule to layout a repeating graphic that we found on the web as a file ("image.jpg") and have further modified the color of the font using the teardrop cursor to pick a color that matches a color in the graphic.

For more information and instructions on modifying CSS rules for a cell, see [[Cascading Style Sheet|Cascading Style Sheet (CSS)]].

==Class Location, Days and Times==
*Memorial 209
*Tuesdays and Thursdays, 2:00 pm - 3:20 pm

==Outline of Project==
The Foundations of Tourism class must do an assignment entitled “Packaging Winona.” They choose an activity such as golfing, cultural heritage, wine etc and then put together a three day tourism package that includes the attractions, maps, hotels, restaurants and secondary activities. It then gets a voice over that explains each slide. Adobe Presenter may be the way to go with voice over.

These PPs will then be burned to a CD (still photos) and sent to the Winona Convention and Visitors Bureau to see if some of them are good enough for distribution.

There is a mixture of PC and Macs in this class.

To include:
*adding images
*voice over
*music background
*animations
*choosing a template
*kiss
*saving to a DVD
*possibly Adobe Presenter - need to check licensing

==STAR's Comments==
The demonstration went rather well. The students asked lots of great questions such as whether or not is was possible to edit a slide after a voice over was done, etc. To my knowledge, no students came in to Tech Support for additional help after the presentation. This, to me, implies that I did a sufficient job answering their questions and instructing how to do perform the tasks required by the instructor.

==Notes to Review==

*Students came in asking how to print their posters to 24 x 36". They had designed them to 8.5 x 11". They did not understand that you had to size the canvas to the actual size you wanted the poster first - then add your text, graphics, etc. They thought that the printer could print out their poster any size for them.
* Some students had questions about adding/using tables.
*I later learned that students were expected to create a professional looking websites, and while we help with that, our system really isn't equipped to handle some of the advanced features of Dreamweaver so communication here is going to be key in the future.

Draft:Creating a StudentClubs Website

2012-02-24T19:09:27Z

EBirch10: /* Beyond the Template */

Starting Fall 2010, all student clubs must have a website to receive funding.

==Getting Webspace==
Before you can start building your website, you must choose a webmaster in the club. This person will be responsible for learning how to build and maintain the website and will be the person who gets access to the webserver. Once you have chosen a webmaster, follow the directions on the [[StudentClubs]] page for requesting space. StudentClubs is the name of the server for all club websites.

==Website Prep==
Before we actually start working on your website, we need to set up our working area. First you should download the Student Clubs Website template using the link below. This file is [[Compressed File|zipped]] and will need to be unzipped before use. For directions on how to unzip a file see the [[Compressed File|zipped]] page. After you unzip the file you should now have 3 files:

[http://elearning.winona.edu/wiki/StudentClubs/templates.zip Template Zip File]

The zip file above contains these three files:
*Default.asp
*i_site_right.asp
*i_site_start.asp

Once you have the files create a folder on your computer somewhere for the website, you will store a copy of the website on your computer for editing purposes so you are not editing the live site. On both [[Mac]] and [[PC]] there should be a '''webs''' folder, inside there would be a good place. Name it whatever you like to identify your website. Inside that folder place your unzipped template, inside that folder. Also in your website folder, create an images folder and name it "images". In that folder place a copy of any pictures you would like to use on your website.

[[category: support]] [[category:internet]][[category:Check Links]]

==Dreamweaver Setup==
If you have not already installed dreamweaver, install it following the directions at the [[Keyserver]] page as Dreamweaver is a Keyserver program.

Once you have Dreamweaver installed go to '''Site''' at the top menu and click '''New Site''' and then switch into the '''Advanced''' tab. From there you should see '''Local Info''' on the right-hand side highlighted, this is where we will be telling Dreamweaver where our local copy of the website is. There are 3 things you should set:
*'''Site Name''': The name of your site, not displayed, just for you to identify the site.
*'''Local Root Folder''': The folder on your computer for your website, click the folder icon and navigate to it. Double check the path! Make sure it has the full path to your folder, sometimes is dosent pick up the last folder, you can manually type it in.
*'''Default Images Folder''': Like above, set it to your images folder and double check it has the whole thing.

Now click on '''Remote Info''' On the left hand side. From there you will need to set the Access to '''Local/Network''' and then go to the [[StudentClubs]] page and enter the correct details for your platform, Mac or PC.

==Configuring the Template==
In Dreamweaver under the '''Files''' area double click '''i-site-start.asp'''. What will open is what appears to be a blank page, change to code view by clicking '''Code''' at the top. Set the three variables by removing what is inside the quotations with your information. Save and close this page.

Open the page '''I_site_right.asp''' and switch back to design view. Add in your club officers replacing the text Officer 1, Officer 2, etc.

There are also four links you can set. To set one of the links click where it says Link1, type the word you want to be the link. And at the bottom of the Dreamweaver window under '''Properties''' where it says '''Link''' type in the FULL address of the website, and that will now be a link. Save and close that page.

Now open the final page '''default.asp''' and make sure you are in design view. Where it says '''Page Title''' type in the title for this page, whatever you would like. Where it says ''This Container is 628 Pixels Wide, the Right Container is 345 Pixels Wide'' and the word ''content'' deleate that text and fill it with your own. If you would like to add images first save them into the images folder on your computer and then in dreamweaver click and drag them onto the page where you would like them. The page will not look correct till it is uploaded.

==Uploading your website==
To upload your site make sure you are connected to the network and have done on the steps you need to on the [[StudentClubs]] page. After that click on your main site folder in dreamweaver, the one that says something like '''Site - Video Game Club''' or whatever your club is. Then click on the blue Up arrow and your site will upload. Now go to http://studentclubs.winona.edu/<website name here> and you will see your website as it appears on the web! If you do not like something, go back in to Dreamweaver, change it, and reupload your website.

==Beyond the Template==
If you would like to make a website custom to your club not using the template, contact the [[E-Warrior Digital Learning Center|DLC]] at DLC@winona.edu or by calling [[Phone Support]] and set up an appointment for website help.

==Dreamweaver Setup==
If you have not already installed dreamweaver, install it following the directions at the [[Keyserver]] page as Dreamweaver is a Keyserver program.

Once you have Dreamweaver installed go to '''Site''' at the top menu and click '''New Site''' and then switch into the '''Advanced''' tab. From there you should see '''Local Info''' on the right-hand side highlighted, this is where we will be telling Dreamweaver where our local copy of the website is. There are 3 things you should set:
*'''Site Name''': The name of your site, not displayed, just for you to identify the site.
*'''Local Root Folder''': The folder on your computer for your website, click the folder icon and navigate to it. Double check the path! Make sure it has the full path to your folder, sometimes is dosent pick up the last folder, you can manually type it in.
*'''Default Images Folder''': Like above, set it to your images folder and double check it has the whole thing.

Now click on '''Remote Info''' On the left hand side. From there you will need to set the Access to '''Local/Network''' and then go to the [[StudentClubs]] page and enter the correct details for your platform, Mac or PC.

==Configuring the Template==
In Dreamweaver under the '''Files''' area double click '''i-site-start.asp'''. What will open is what appears to be a blank page, change to code view by clicking '''Code''' at the top. Set the three variables by removing what is inside the quotations with your information. Save and close this page.

Open the page '''I_site_right.asp''' and switch back to design view. Add in your club officers replacing the text Officer 1, Officer 2, etc.

There are also four links you can set. To set one of the links click where it says Link1, type the word you want to be the link. And at the bottom of the Dreamweaver window under '''Properties''' where it says '''Link''' type in the FULL address of the website, and that will now be a link. Save and close that page.

Now open the final page '''default.asp''' and make sure you are in design view. Where it says '''Page Title''' type in the title for this page, whatever you would like. Where it says ''This Container is 628 Pixels Wide, the Right Container is 345 Pixels Wide'' and the word ''content'' deleate that text and fill it with your own. If you would like to add images first save them into the images folder on your computer and then in dreamweaver click and drag them onto the page where you would like them. The page will not look correct till it is uploaded.

==Uploading your website==
To upload your site make sure you are connected to the network and have done on the steps you need to on the [[StudentClubs]] page. After that click on your main site folder in dreamweaver, the one that says something like '''Site - Video Game Club''' or whatever your club is. Then click on the blue Up arrow and your site will upload. Now go to http://studentclubs.winona.edu/<website name here> and you will see your website as it appears on the web! If you do not like something, go back in to Dreamweaver, change it, and reupload your website.

==Beyond the Template==
If you would like to make a website custom to your club not using the template, contact the [[Digital Learning Center|DLC]] at DLC@winona.edu or by calling [[Phone Support]] and set up an appointment for website help.

Draft:Creating a StudentClubs Website

2012-02-24T19:08:35Z

EBirch10: /* Website Prep */

Starting Fall 2010, all student clubs must have a website to receive funding.

==Getting Webspace==
Before you can start building your website, you must choose a webmaster in the club. This person will be responsible for learning how to build and maintain the website and will be the person who gets access to the webserver. Once you have chosen a webmaster, follow the directions on the [[StudentClubs]] page for requesting space. StudentClubs is the name of the server for all club websites.

==Website Prep==
Before we actually start working on your website, we need to set up our working area. First you should download the Student Clubs Website template using the link below. This file is [[Compressed File|zipped]] and will need to be unzipped before use. For directions on how to unzip a file see the [[Compressed File|zipped]] page. After you unzip the file you should now have 3 files:

[http://elearning.winona.edu/wiki/StudentClubs/templates.zip Template Zip File]

The zip file above contains these three files:
*Default.asp
*i_site_right.asp
*i_site_start.asp

Once you have the files create a folder on your computer somewhere for the website, you will store a copy of the website on your computer for editing purposes so you are not editing the live site. On both [[Mac]] and [[PC]] there should be a '''webs''' folder, inside there would be a good place. Name it whatever you like to identify your website. Inside that folder place your unzipped template, inside that folder. Also in your website folder, create an images folder and name it "images". In that folder place a copy of any pictures you would like to use on your website.

Class storage

2012-02-24T18:59:10Z

EBirch10:

[https://classes.winona.edu/ Class Storage description, request form and policies]

'''Class storage''' is available to help facilitate the [[e-Warrior: Digital Life & Learning Program]] by providing space for faculty and students to exchange and collaborate on files as efficiently as possible. Class storage is intended to supplement our [[Online learning software]] by offering a per-semester storage solution that is capable of distributing and collecting large files and allows multiple users to collaborate on data in real-time.

These files are also accessible via web browser by account owner and secure web browser.

== Location ==
Class storage is located on a [[network]] share found on your computer as follows:

::*On a PC they are found on the T drive = "\\winona.edu\dfs\Community\ClassStorage"

::*On a Mac they are found through the Finder under the menu: '''Go->Connect to Server'''. In the dialog box look for "smb://store.winona.edu/classes/"

Each course directory will be named according to the year/term and the 6 digit MNSCU ID of that course. Each course will have a 1 GB Storage Quota Limit. Access to each course will be determined by the class roster.

== Requesting Storage ==
Class storage may be requested by Faculty or Staff teaching a course as that course becomes available within the [[MNSCU]] tracking system. Faculty members will need to know the year/term of the course along with the department and the 6 digit MNSCU course ID for that course in the given year / term.

To request class storage, just go to https://mywsu.winona.edu/it/classstorage/Pages/pub/Menu.aspx

Upon completion of the course request form, Class storage will be created within 1 business day.

== Back-Up Class Storage Files==
Class storage is per-semester storage solutions, so prior to the end of each semester, faculty and students must save the necessary files from class storage to their individual network storage, locally to their computer, or to an external device. Drag and drop the individual files or the folder to a location with sufficient storage space.

Draft:File backup (Faculty)

__NOTOC__
[[File:Hp_laptops.jpg|right]]
==Overview==

If your laptop failed right now, could you restore all of your important files and information on your new laptop within an hour? It is absolutely essential that you back up important information from your laptop to external, network, and/or web storage. Your laptop can be lost, stolen, dropped, spilled upon, or otherwise rendered unusable at any time. Its hard drive can fail without warning, making it impossible to access any of its data. If the only copy of your important intellectual property, hard work, and creative effort is on your laptop, you are running a terrible risk of losing it all forever. This prospect is disturbing enough for students, who risk losing semesters of academic work, but it is of critical importance for WSU employees who risk losing tremendous professional and institutional investments. Backing up your laptop data is an easy thing to do, there are a number of good, relatively inexpensive storage solutions available, and there is plenty of help available for both students and employees who have questions.
