My Healthy Meal Promo Video
What a story.  I wanted to have this done to introduce the project to my class so I created what I called my Promo Video early on in the course to discover that:

• I left out some information that I wanted to include (ooooops).
• It needs to be under 90seconds and mine was not (ooooops).

So, I thought - no problem, cut some things out.  But, NO, I still could not get it under 90 seconds and still have share what I wanted to share.  So, I started from scratch and I really like this one much better than I did the first one.

I can't even count the hours I spent on it, but I learned a lot.  I learned:

• How to put pictures and videos into a WeVideo.
• How to put transitions into the video between clips.
• How to fit clips and cut them and shorten them from the start of the clip or the end of the clip.
• How to add music in more than one place at more than one volume level.
• How I need to record my voice over first and then add other audio (at least that is what I needed to do). 

Questions I still have are:

• How to add text onto a clip.  I added mine to the pictures before adding the clip to the video, can I add it after I add the clip to the video?
• Can I add more than one transition type to the video (I assume I can, but was a little to nervous to try it out for myself so stuck to one transition).

I choose WeVideo because I did my Promo Video last year using Imovie and I wanted to learn a new tool for video creation.  Also because my school has WeVideo accounts and my students have been doing a lot with WeVideo and suggested that I try it out when I told them I was going to make a video.  My students were also able to help me when I had questions - that is always a bonus.

Hope you enjoy my Promo Video.
