Intro

Students in Judith Herb College of Education are required to complete video projects in several courses including their Methods and Student Teaching. These videos need to be edited, compressed and uploaded to Chalk and Wire or BlackBoard for scoring. The Carver Resource Center is the educational technology hub for students located in Gillham Hall 3000. The Center houses several computer labs, checkout equipment including video cameras, tripods and laptops, and the applications necessary to edit your video. This tutorial will provide you with the step- by-step instructions for completing the video editing project in iMovie10 on any of the Mac computers in the JHCOE.
