Here’s my video submission for the DKC human test! In the video, all photos are mine, and the music was found on Freesound and has no copyright. I also cited my sources in the video on the last slide.
Using Canva to make videos was something I never even knew was an option. Overall the experience was very smooth though a bit frustrating. Though I’m pretty sure I only think that because I’ve used other more advanced editing software in the past. Compared to those, Canva was a little limiting in what tools were available and it wasn’t as easy to get the precise results I wanted. Though for beginners or a quick video project, I definitely see the use. Since it’s easy to share, edit, and create with the mountain of templates they have there is little room for failure. I likely won’t use it again unless the project requires it, since to the detriment of my free time I overedit every little thing. Though it’s nice knowing that Canva has so much more to offer than graphic design tools.
My process for making the video was pretty linear except for one thing. Two seconds into making the script for the video I forgot the time requirement was 30 seconds. So I ended up making a full minute-long video talking a bit more about each fun fact and a brief mention of my roommate’s cat, Moby. Sadly, before I could post it Shannon very quickly cut down my dreams of greatness. I rushed to cut and edit the audio in Audacity but sadly I couldn’t keep it all in the final video. And then I forgot to save the original video so no one will ever see the full amazingness of Feli. To make up for it, here’s a photo of Moby to make up for this great loss to the world.
the site is eating!!! love it!! love the gifs that you made + the brooklyn nine nine video made me laugh. keep up the great work!!
If only we could have the Moby cut lol. Funny video!
I agree that Canva can be frustrating when you are used to other video software (especially since it functions so much differently!). Also, it is a true loss to the universe that Feli’s full greatness was forever destroyed (a harsh reminder of how important the save button is). I will have to try out Freesound at some point, as I’ve never used it before. Overall, though, I loved your video, and I thank you for the gold star!
Considering how much extra material I knew you had this is a pretty good edit down. Definitely got the fast Feli facts. I don’t know when it will come in handy but I’m definitely noting your musical talents 🙂
One thing I’ll note on my end is the audio was kind of quiet. It is kind of hidden in Canva but there is a way to extract the audio so you can adjust the volume on things. Not obvious how to get to it though so I’ll try and point this out at a cohort meeting.
