But what’s the best editor or program to use? This question has plagued me for a long time. If the file is not playing, click here to go to the page the video is posted on.A good video creation tool is a must in every teacher’s toolbox. PS If you would like to see the final product of this experiment, click below. This was just a first pass, but so far, I’m really enjoying cloudy video! The very nice thing regarding video, though, is that there is significantly less copying/managing when all the media lives in the cloud. This has implications across workflow, not just for video. For those not familiar with editing, there is a storyboard mode for beginners.Īs I mentioned previously, the main thing for me was actually how the Chromebook treats browsing the local directory on a device – the local directory is the cloud, and not the device (though you can still browse to the download directory which resides on the Chromebook). As a movie editing software user already, I chose the timeline mode to work in. with relative ease, though it always takes a little while to learn how these tools are implemented. I was able to create transitions, titles, etc. The editing tools were comparable to typical movie editing software.
I was very impressed with WeVideo on my first outing. In the case of a Chromebook, the “local device” is Drive, so I could directly transfer the completed video file from Drive to the web server. Typically when uploading media to a server, the upload feature triggers a file browser for the local device. On a Chromebook, when choosing to upload files, the file browser treats Drive as the local directory! This was the aha moment for me. mp4 format to Drive (and other web locations). You can grant WeVideo access to Drive, and once connected, media files can be imported directly for editing.Įxporting/posting: WeVideo exports in. Paid versions provide additional files, export time, and non-branding. The free version allows for 5 videos, 5 minutes of video export per month, and a short post-roll branding at the end of exported videos.
Uploading: Using the Google Drive app on my iPhone, I uploaded all of the original media to Drive.Įditing: WeVideo is a Chrome app available for free, and uses a freemium pricing structure. With the new Chromebook, I wondered if it were possible to move, manage and create video without having to be tied to a particular device. I am used to downloading photos and editing in either iMovie or MovieMaker, both of which do a nice job. Recently we held the Williamsville District Art Show at the Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village, and I took numerous pictures and videos of the event with my  phone. I successfully created a video using all cloud tools.
