> This means that you must use the SAME machine until your project is finished! > Go to #E Controlling Sound in a Podcast: Checking Sound Levels; Adjusting Sound Input Preferences in GB)
 * 1) Copy your clips from the FLIP camera to a folder on your machine---best place for this and ALL docments associated with your project is the SHARED folder on the hard drive of a specific machine.
 * 1) Copy any photos, images, PowerPoint slides you will use in the movie to your iPhoto application---make an album of these items for efficiency
 * 2) Download any music you would like to use from our soundzabound.com subscription to your iTunes application
 * 3) DRAG your video clips into the window shelf on the right side of your iMovie window
 * 4) Make sure you know how to use your microphone/headset for recording and listening to your narration. Watch the demo on how to do this or view these videos on atomiclearning.com:

**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Day 5--Distributing your work **
<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Once your movie is complete, you need to turn it into a Quicktime movie so it is in a format that most computers can play. This is not at all difficult! Watch this [|Atomic Learning video] and follow the instructions with your own movie. (By the way, I can speak from experience that it is very hard to say one's movie is complete!! It has been my experience that most people want to keep tweaking!! Remember that this is your first movie and it will be wonderful, it does not have to be perfect! - It is almost impossible to get it perfect -- the more you watch it the more changes/tweaks you will want to make! Just let go!!!!!!)

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> That's step 1!! The video is now on the computer you have been working on. To share your movie with others, you need to post it to the web, burn a DVD, or do both!

===**<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">To post it on the web, you can upload it to TeacherTube. (If you later find that you and your students will be making MANY movies, you can ask Ellen Robertson to set up a podcasting account for you where you can load all your videos into one area). **===
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">You will need to create a TeacherTube account if you do not already have one - [|click here to start this process].
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Log in to your TeacherTube account, and click on the Upload button. Uploading a file to TeacherTube is just like attaching a file to an email or your eBoard.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Once the file is uploaded you can send viewers to the link that TeacherTube provides you, or you can embed the video right into your eBoard!
 * 4) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">To get the embed code, click on the 4th icon under your video -- as you hover over the icon it will say "Get Code."
 * 5) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">If you need assistance with embedding your TeacherTube video into your eBoard [|watch this video].

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Watch this Atomic Learning video, then follow the instructions with your own movie. (Don't worry about creating chapter markers. They are not necessary with a 5 minute video.)
