B1 & B3 Project Export Day!

Time to share your 1st project!  

Before we can share it with others, we have to be sure that our video: 
-is School appropriate... Every person - your 3rd grade teacher, your grandmother, or your 5-year old cousin must be able to view your school project and not be exposed to foul language or R-rated themes in songs or character dialogue.  

ALL content - on-camera behavior, dress code, song lyrics, and dialogue - must be clean.  Delete any clips or tracks that aren't in order to protect you, your audience, and your project grade.  

-is Completely finished... Are titles spelled wrong? Is music too loud or dialogue difficult to hear? Does video cut off when it should fade out? Be sure you finish it before you put it out there for people to view it. 

-is inside the 'Selected Work Area': Look above your timeline in the area that looks like a ruler. Find the two gray arrows that you will slide to select the beginning and end of all video that you want exported. Slide your arrows a second or two before and a second after your video so that no shots will be unintentionally cut off. 


Time to Export... That means converting your timeline to an uploadable file format that can be played on any device - an MP4. 

Go to your 'File' Menu, Choose 'Export' and 'Media'. A new screen opens up - Under Format choose 'H.264' . Under Preset: Choose HDTV 1080p 29.97 (the high-definition, high resolution match up for your camera settings). 

Open the 'Sequence 01' and change the Name to your product and the  Where to 'Desktop'. Watch as the timeline exports (a test of your patience). 

Attach Kuhn's flash drive and drag your new MP4  product onto the flash drive. Do NOT rip the flash drive out of your Mac. Right-click and eject it carefully. 

Walk it over to Kuhn's classroom PC to drag a copy into your Block's file folder. Congrats on finishing! We will watch them in class the next day. Feel free to bring snacks for viewing day.
