I just tweeted a link to 10 online video editing sites. <br />Here it is "Top 10 online sites for video editing. http://tinyurl.com/3w79u5y JayCut is first but how do the rest stack up?"<br /><br />Why don't you check these to see if they fit your needs. I would be interested in what you find.<br /><br />ZDr. Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420546861775303616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26673527.post-21893178901128546342011-10-07T18:16:33.586-05:002011-10-07T18:16:33.586-05:00I found this to be very interesting, because I am ...I found this to be very interesting, because I am used to (and absolutely love) annotating ebooks and PDF files (using Preview), because it is so easy to do, and it makes taking notes a lot more convenient. Annotating videos would be useful if you were teaching an online class, or even if you wanted your students to view videos online, and make sure they paid attention to specific points as they watch. I think kids can easily get overwhelmed or feel rushed when watching a film, and even if they can go back and start it over again, or re-view a section, I think having the annotation bars below would make it easier to comprehend video material. <br /><br />Since I am going to be teaching Language Arts, I might like to use "how-to" videos in my class for things like diagramming sentences, steps to the writing process, or other activities. Having VideoAnt as an option of adding written feedback or directions to video content could be a way to support learners who need to SEE information in WRITING, as well as view it and hear it. I know for me, combined text and video is much more effective when I am trying to learn something, than when there is only one of those elements present.<br /><br />I would be curious to see if this tool is developed further so more file types can be supported, instead of only those derived from online sources. Dr. Z, do you know of any other tools like this one that DO support other file types, not necessarily from online sources?alison.leytemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14688319705153226626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26673527.post-47068026177067311872011-10-05T12:16:33.522-05:002011-10-05T12:16:33.522-05:00Destry,

It is a free screencast program that you can download from jingproject.com<br /><br />I use it all the time to create a quick screencast that I can send to the customer support for a problematic program. They love this and I one time they reprogrammed the program to make it run correctly within an hour.<br /><br />ZDr. Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01420546861775303616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26673527.post-70484548134058888032011-10-04T00:25:15.627-05:002011-10-04T00:25:15.627-05:00I can see potential in this tool, I teach software...I can see potential in this tool, I teach software courses and always have students who can't quite figure out how to preform a task. If they could record themselves attempting the task I could use Video Ant to point out where they went astray, and what to do to fix the issue. It would also be a great way to critique teachers who teach over the TV or web primarily.I teach on KTS(fiber network for kirkwood community college) and recording a class then having feedback given in this way while watching would be helpful.Desteryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07467852538936986368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26673527.post-58421247030933780192011-10-03T01:10:54.647-05:002011-10-03T01:10:54.647-05:00If I could get students to record their problems w...If I could get students to record their problems with some of the applications they are using and post it to youtube I could go back in and point out along the way where they made the error using this program. <br />I can see some potential in this and the price is spot on.
