Hi, friends! Can you believe the end of the year is already upon us?!? Our last day isn't until the second week in June, but I know many of you will be finishing up the year soon. Last year, I decided to make an end of the year video that we would watch at our end of the year celebration. I also made a copy of this video in DVD format for each child. It was a huge hit! However, if I am being completely honest, this was the first time I had ever used Windows Live Movie Maker and I had an extremely difficult time figuring out how to convert my movie to a DVD that the kiddos could watch at home. With that being said, I thought a step-by-step guide for creating an end of the year movie would be helpful for all of you!
If you are looking for more in depth directions, please watch this video!
I hope this little tutorial will be helpful as you make your end of the year classroom video! I'll be back soon with part 2 of this series... a step-by-step guide on how to turn your movie into a DVD.

Thank you for the video tutorial! I wouldn't have dared to try this without it!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try and do a video for my kiddos this year. However, I have a few questions. Do you keep track of the number of photos of each kid in the show? Do you use multiple pictures of each kiddo doing the same thing? I am worried that each child may not have the same amount of photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks,
