Tools we need to
use in this class:
- Computer
Modeling + Animation + Rendering: Maya (in lab)
- Render
to AVI format (30 frames per second)
- Audio
editing:
- Microsoft
MovieMaker has limited functionality (comes with the Windows XP).
- I
have worked with WavePad,
it is pretty good. The free evaluation copy is more than sufficient for
what we need in this class.
- Video
editing:
- Microsoft
MovieMaker has limited functionality (comes with the Windows XP).
- My
advice is that you should make sure a shot is correct before rendering
the AVI file. This would greatly reduce the need mess around with the
rendered AVI files. A great time saver!
- Storyboard
from scanned in images:
- Microsoft
MovieMaker: limited resolution to 8 frames per second. This is
sufficient for our need.
- You
should really avoid editing audio in the MovieMaker program. I suggest
creating audio clips separately (e.g., via WavePad) and importing the
clips into MovieMaker.
