COOKIE DOUGH DELIVERY!

First of all, I would like to thank everyone who participated in the cookie dough fundraiser.  It looks like our profits will be approximately $1400 dollars.  This will go a long way towards equipment and prop purchases.

The cookie dough will be delivered on WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 7 near noon.  This is an early release day so please plan accordingly.  The product can remain in an air conditioned room for up to 6 hours so that should be plenty of time to get it home.

I'll also be sending a note home with students.

FCP Project 1 Albino Seal - EXAMPLE

This tutorial will walk students through FCP Project 1.

Exporting your FCP Sequence as a Quicktime Movie

This is a simple tutorial covering the MOST BASIC method for exporting your FCP sequence as a Quicktime movie.  Many Editing projects will be submitted for grading as a Quicktime movie so it is important to master this skill.

File Sharing Computer Based Assignments

Students have also had trouble file sharing finished projects to Nautilus (the iMac used for demonstration/grading). This is the process by which students can send files from one iMac to another without use if an external website or removable storage device (such as a flash drive). This is a critical skill for any student wishing to enjoy any manner of success in ITV.

I've taken the liberty of providing another quick example of the process.

Exporting Motion Projects as Quicktime Movies

Many students have had trouble exporting their Motion projects as Quicktime movies. I've taken the liberty of recording a quick example.
