Jaycut


I just used Jaycut to make  a simple movie. If you have used Windows Moviemaker, or Photostory, the learning curve will be easy.   This is free, and while a tiny bit slow, I liked it.    Easy to import an existing video. I needed to learn a dance and words to a song, and I the  options Jaycut gave me for adding text were just what I needed  Here is the video . If you are interested in the Cool Water Hula Event go here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JdEJpiELgYc&feature=related .


What I really like is using Jaycut may make  the biggest problem I see in using MovieMaker go away.  Students often  don't save their collections  of images on the same computer they make their movie.  Jaycut is all in the clouds and thus  everything imported into the project is available everywhere.
