So you have some audio and video files in your Google Drive, and need to combine them into a single iMovie project on your iPad.  Here’s how.

The video is posted on the
MDStech youtube channel
as well as the WMDS portal.

Summary:

1. Fire up the Drive App
2. Navigate to the desired file – I suggest starting with the VIDEO file first.
3. Click the “I” icon, on the right.
4. Click “Open in….”
5. Click the 2nd “Open In….”
6. Select “iMovie”
7. iMovie loads the file.
8. Go back to the Drive app.
9. Select the “I” icon for the audio file.
10. Click “Open in….”
11. Click the 2nd “Open In….”
12. Select “iMovie”
13. iMovie asks if you want to create a NEW movie, or to add it to the “Last one edited”. Select Last one Edited.
14. The audio is placed in the project.

• FIRST go to Settings –> Safari [It’s in the section that begins with Mail, Contacts, Calendar]
• In the GENERAL section on the right, turn OFF “Open New Tbs in Background”
• Turn OFF “Block Pop-ups”
• Personal Preference: I turned on “Show Favorites Bar” and “Show Tab Bar”. Try them and see which setting YOU prefer!

We just added a new menu to the Tech Site: Essentials.

It will contain posts relating to the “Essentials Skills” that the Upper School is training on. keep an eye on it – or better yet, subscribe to the blog by adding your email address in the “Subscribe” box, over there on the right.
