Another piece of my project

Below is the url which I haven't event tested yet.  If you slog through looking at this very rough concatenation of pieces of a 20 minute group discussion I had with 4 teachers, and if you have thoughts about the order in which I should show each piece, I'd love to see them.

I know I need more narrative in between in the places where I have text only, to help explain my perspective of how the teachers are changing.

PS.  I made this on my brand new as of yesterday, mac book pro.  That is the exciting part.  The difficulty is I still had difficulty in getting the video to youtube directly from iMovie.  So I didn't go directly from imovie and made a quicktime movie first, then uploaded that using the video manager on youtube.  That took 3  hours of rendering, and it still isn't visible on youtube yet, and this is only 10 minutes of video and I am worried I might not cut, and might add more.  ACK!  So I might be trying to upload starting on Friday.  I thought this machine was supposed to be faster!

  1. Hey Deb, I also found the law guidelines more useful than the Ohler’s suggestions. Check out Annie’s blog, she has a link that I think you would find useful. Your video is coming along much better than mine and good luck with your new macbook. I cant believe you have more to add, I’m stuck at 4 minuets. Watching your video makes me see I have too much narrative and need to fill some text in, maybe that will help me get more time. I’m so glad this semester is almost done.

  2. Deb, I offer to work with you on your Mac upload to resolve the problem, 3 hrs to upload? This should never happen, have not seen it happen, a 10 minute video should take 10 minutes at the most usually less. Are you sure it is not your Internet provider or setup?

    The video is very clear.

  3. HI Mark,
    I was at my Mom and Dad's and so it may have been their provider; I can't recall what they have. I am at home now, and using sbcglobal for my internet provider on a wireless router. So I hope it is better, but not sure. That is where I will be uploading my final project.

    I am working on it today, but I don't know that I will have something ready to upload by the end of today....perhaps I should do a test, but I hesitate to prepare it to load if I am not done, as I am worried about being able to come back in and make changes. Perhaps you can explain the difference between finalizing and publishing a project?

  4. Hi Guys,
    Mine also takes that long to upload... You've previously seen comments about that in my blog too. "Finalizing" is why I am up so late right now - it says "3 hours" and I am nervous something will go wrong and would lose the project, which now represents weeks of work. Uploading also takes a very long time - much longer than the length of the video. One of my suspicions is that it may be that our devices do so much more now with more data, and these uploads are just "loaded," thus taking longer. I'm guessing that the upload tomorrow may take 4 hours!

    Oh, Deb, you can go back into the project and work just as before, after "finalizing," just then you have to do finalizing all over again when you are finished. What freaks me out is quitting iMovie without "saving!" I feel like I need to save all this work in stages... But the time involved in finalizing and uploading a "draft" is just lost...
