Re: TECH: Power Point

[John_Goldsmith <goldsmith@RAINBOW.FVRCS.GOV.BC.CA>]

Hello Wanda,

Apple make a wonderful product called "i-Movies" which comes with all
it's new computers.

        http://www.apple.com/imovie/

I haven't used it myself but I watched our Grade 2 teacher download a
some video from her movie camera and in what seemed like no time at
all put together a 3 minute video clip with titles, transitions and a
different sound track. Then she saved it as a Quick time file.

And once the video is saved as a Quick time file it can be displayed
in Power Point.

This teacher was using a digital video camera with a Firewire
connection to her computer so I'm not sure what it would be like with
a standard camcorder and some sort of video to USB adaptor. As well,
I don't know if the program will run on anything but a newer model
Mac.

Nevertheless, if your teacher has access to a new Mac and a digital
camcorder, i-Movies should definitely fit the bill.
