Preface

Time for action — saving and uploading the movie into Moodle


We should really save our movie twice: once as a project file in case we want to edit it another time, as we did in Audacity, and again as a suitable movie file for Moodle.

  1. 1. Go to File | Save Project As... and give your movie a name. This will be the project (draft) version, which you can edit again. This should end in .MSWMM and will work only on your own computer.

  2. 2. Follow the instructions given in the following table to save the file as a finished movie.

Note

The save process is slightly different according to which version of Windows Movie Maker and which operating system you are using. (Use the column on the left if you downloaded our version just now). Either way, your finished file must end in .wmv.

Movie Maker 2.6 for Windows 7, Vista or XP

Movie Maker already installed on Vista
