Making+a+video+tutorial

Here are some quick instructions for making a video tutorial. Part One: recording. Part Two: Editing Part Three: Publishing Part Four: Posting
 * 1) Log in as "student," not your own account.
 * 2) Launch Quicktime Player from the Applications folder.
 * 3) Launch Flash, and get it ready to go.
 * 4) In Quicktime, go to the File Menu and select "New Screen Recording..."
 * 5) Hold down the triangle on the right hand edge to make sure that you have the built-in microphone selected.
 * 6) Click the record button. Record your tutorial. If you make a mistake, don't stop - just hit "undo" and pick up from where you left off.
 * 7) When you are done recording, click on the "Stop Recording" button in the menubar.
 * 1) Next, launch iMovie.
 * 2) In the File menu, select "Import...Movies..." and navigate to the /Users/student/Movies/ folder to find the movie you recorded. Pick a good name for this "event."
 * 3) Your movie will (eventually) load into the lower half of the screen. In the upper left, create a new project, if an empty one is not already available.
 * 4) Select the entire movie you just imported so that it is completely encased in yellow and drag it to the top of area.
 * 5) With the entire movie selected in the top area, click on the "Crop" tool in the middle - it's just to the right of the microphone button, under the left edge of the video window. In the video window, click on the word "Crop" - then drag the green corners in, so that just the flash window is selected. Then click Done. This will zoom in on the video.
 * 6) Select any portion of the video where you made a mistake and press the delete key to trim this part out.
 * 7) You can add text to the screen (for instructions, asides, or keyboard shortcuts) by using the "Titles Browser" - the third button from the right in the middle row. It looks like a "T." Pick a style you like (I recommend a simple one) and drag it onto your video in the upper left and type in what you want to see. You can adjust the starting and ending times for the text once it is up there.
 * 1) In your favorite browser, go to Youtube and create an account, if you don't have one already.
 * 2) Back in iMovie, go to the "Share" menu and pick "YouTube...." You'll be asked to enter your account and password, a category, a title, a size (mobile or medium) and whether it should be private (no - since we'll be posting this.)
 * 3) Click ok and wait.
 * 1) Go to YouTube and confirm that your video is up. (Sign in, and then click on your name in the upper right corner - choose "My Videos.") It typically takes a few minutes, even after iMovie is done.
 * 2) Go to your video and get the "embed" code that comes with it. **(Correction - I found my mistake on Wednesday:** Below my video was a button that said "embed." When I click it, I get some html code that begins with "<iframe" - this is the wrong type. Below that textbox is a button that says "Use old embed code" - this turned the html code into something that begins with "<embed" - select this entire text box and copy it.)
 * 3) In Wikispaces, edit a page where you want video to go. Click on "Widget" and then "Video." Follow the directions to post your YouTube video!
