Make Pivot Animations into a Movie
August 17th, 2010 · No Comments · Digital Storytelling, videos
Once you have completed your Pivot animation, save it as a animated gif. This will then be accepted by MS Moviemaker or other video editing programs. After putting out a request on twitter re how to convert Pivot to a movie format, I got the following tweets in response:-
- @rowan_peter: @murcha Save Pivot as anim gif, then import gif into Flash! File > Import > Import to library. Place new Symbol on Stage & publish as SWF
- From @tasteach: @murcha my students save as animated gifs and then embed on blogs – they work like a film Ask jaki at 5_Alive, she had her students do a Christmas dance last year using pivot Here is her post on how to add the music etc then make movie. See a sample student’s movie “A very crazy Christmas“
Check out these sites, add music, sound effects and background (if appropriate) and convert your animated gif into a wmv or mpg format.
