AS Comms - How to finish your Moviemaker & turn it into a film

In order to 'finish' your Moviemaker so that it becomes a single movie file (which is what you will submit), you need to go through the following process:

1. Make sure your MM project is definitely complete - watch it through from start to finish, checking that your voiceover synchs with the images, that nothing is clipped off, and that you have faded your audio in and out so that your transitions are smooth.

2. When you are 100% happy, select the 'Save Movie' tab on the far right of the toolbar (below) & select 'Recommended for this project'.

3. Choose your Comms folder (on your student drive) as the destination for the file.

4. Click 'Save' and then a progress bar (see below) will appear mapping the progress of your project being converted into a movie file. Depending on how busy the network is / how big your project is, this can take quite a long time. It usually takes 5 - 10 minutes but can take 30 mins.

You then need to copy your movie onto your usb for the submission of the coursework (keep a copy on your student drive!)
