Creating a promotional video for our Pulaski High School weekly Lunch N' Learn provided me with a great opportunity to use a technology tool that I learned about at the Apple Distinguished Educator Institute in Austin.
Final Cut Pro X provided me with so many eye catching graphics that no other program has provided me. I decided that I would use the great people of Pulaski High School to promote our Lunch N' Learn. I recorded as many people as I could saying, "I'm there!" using my iPad 2. I then used the fantastically efficient Photosync app and Mac client to seamlessly and efficiently transfer the video clips from my iPad to a Mac wirelessly. I imported the different media clips into Final Cut Pro X and combined them with the amazing graphics that Final Cut Pro X provides. I decided that the best song for this video would be OK Go's Here It Goes Again! because it's our second year! Through the sharing options that Final Cut Pro X provides, I was able to easily upload it to my YouTube channel.
The entire process of recording, editing, and producing took just under three hours. I am thankful that I am able to use Final Cut Pro X and look forward to finding more features and uses for this amazing production tool.
The promotional video is being sent out this morning to over 80 high school staff members as tomorrow starts year two of our wildly famous (ok, just famous) Lunch N' Learn. I truly appreciate the energy and enthusiasm that our staff brings to these volunteer learning sessions. Our staff also did a fantastic job of demonstrating their unique personalities when stating, "I'm there!"
Awesome!
