Photostory and MovieMaker-You too can make cool stuff!

So last night's class was very satisfying. Both Andrea and Wendy did a nice job demystifying Photostory and MovieMaker, and I left class feeling empowered to use these new toys (to me) for all sorts of fun stuff. I've seen my husband and kids use the Mac versions of these programs; the results are always so polished that I had assumed a lot of expertise went into their projects. Though I'm sure one can get fairly professional looking results with a little more experience and time, it's nice to know that the programs are user-friendly even on a rudimentary basis. That to me is good technology--programs that don't require countless hours of fruitless frustration before becoming useful to me. Class overall was a pleasure last night--good amount of empowering info!

    It is always fun to see what looks so amazing as a finished product is not all that hard to do sometimes.

    I agree - Photostory was SUPER user friendly and was one of the few programs that was. I was very happy to see how well my thing came out with just a first run through. I can think of plenty of ways to use it.
