[Eril-l] Video editing tools / downloads

[Charlie Rapple]

Hi Justin,

I recently tried out Animoto (www.animoto.com <http://www.animoto.com/>). There is a free service which worked well enough for me. You upload screenshots and can add text - which I found it a lot easier (and less cringeworthy) than doing screencapturing / recording myself talking through a process. You can’t be too wordy with your text captions but actually that was a really good discipline for keeping it simple!

(Here’s the result of my first effort - this was about ~2 hrs’ work: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbbodAB7L2g <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbbodAB7L2g>)

Of course, I’d echo Theresa’s point too about asking your resource providers if they have any ready-made videos you can point to - some might even make you a version with your branding added - but where that approach fails, hopefully you can make something yourself relatively easily!

Good luck!

Charlie.

Hi, everyone,

My library is planning to produce resource-specific instructional videos which we will host on or website as surrogates for when in-person or live help is not available.

We've been given a budget of $0 to create the videos.

So, I wonder:

Does anyone know of any reasonably capable video editing tools / downloads that might be available for free? 

Thanks much!
