I had never worked with animation outside of PowerPoint until NOW. The computer science guru at my school introduced me to ALICE. It is an animation application that is free to download and use. For the most part, it is very user friendly and doesn't require any knowledge of coding.
However, I first had to create the animation in Alice and save it. Then, I had to download a free trial of Camtasia to capture the animation. After I captured the animation in Camtasia from Alice I had to run the animation through Camtasia or "produce it" so that the file was readable by Windows Moviemaker. Finally, I had upload the file to Moviemaker and finish the "movie" there.
Wow! What a lengthy process! I hope this journey gets easier . . .

WOW! That sounded pretty complicated. I didn't realize that when you worked with Alice you would need a secondary software like camtasia to work with it.
ReplyDeleteWhat type of file did Alice end with?
If it is on your laptop -- bring it with you next weekend. We'll have an open lab time at the end of class.
Thanks for posting this. I couldn't figure out how to render Alice either. Also, from what I can tell, in Alice, you can only work with the templates they have given you. Is this what you think too?
