Video and Audio Blogging

Video Blogging


You can create a video blog using a normal video camera - the camera must be able to save files in either .avi or .wmv format.  A good choice of camera is the Logitech Pro 9000 camera, supplied by C2K to your school for Video Conferencing.  Once you record the blog using the software that came with the camera, you can then upload these files direct to your blog. 





Audio Blogging

  1. Start Movie Maker

  3. Import a suitable picture and drag it out to match the full length of your audio recording
