<br />
<b>Answer:</b><br />
Storychasers can use any available software program to create a video. In our 2.5 day phase 1 workshop for teachers, we use:<br />
<br />
<ol><li><a href="http://audacity.sourceforge.net/">Audacity</a> to create the audio track</li>
<li><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/digitalphotography/PhotoStory/default.mspx">PhotoStory3</a> or <a href="http://www.apple.com/ilife/imovie/">iMovie</a> to combine photos with the audio</li>
</ol><div><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx">Windows MovieMaker</a> can also be used, along with the recently released <a href="http://windowslive.com/desktop/moviemaker">Windows MovieMaker Live</a>.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Audacity will run on basically any computer. (Older versions may be required for older systems.)</div><div><br />
</div><div>WindowsXP is required for PhotoStory3 and Windows MovieMaker. Windows Vista or Windows 7 is required for MovieMaker Live.</div><div><br />
</div><div>iMovie runs on Apple / Macintosh computers.</div>Wesley Fryerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03502157354436518160noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8378032500625032932.post-10515948497308287562010-03-05T16:38:00.000-08:002010-03-05T16:38:09.196-08:00Welcome to the Storychasers FAQ blogThis blog was created by project facilitators with <a href="http://storychasers.org/">Story Chasers Inc.</a>, to support digital storytelling / oral history / writing projects both inside and outside of schools.
