Google apps – Docs, Sheets, Drive all have an option to access a file offline. Make sure there are no files stored locally. Find the “On Device” menu item to see the list.
Got any iMovies you’ve been working on? Delete ’em if you are done with them,.
What about other apps that allow you create documents – Splice, Educreations, etc. Those all take up room.
If none of those work, you’ll have to wait until I pull them in later this month.
Quick notes for how to create an excellent iMovie:
CONTENT IS THE WHOLE POINT All the special effects and jazzy stuff on the planet
can’t make up for zero content.
Production Process:
PLAN / Outline – do this on paper. Get a list of what you want to say, and what shots/footage/audio you’ll need.
Gather Material – collect all your parts. Take notes on paper, listing what you’ve collected. Seriously, this will save you TONS of time and aggravation.
I suggest using the Camera app to shoot your material instead of using iMovie. It’s faster.
Start iMovie Project
Import Material – from the camera roll, or wherever else you’ve stashed it.
Editing – making all the parts fit
Clips added/arranged/changed
Add transitions
Add special effects
Add titles
Add/edit audio [check volume levels!]

Want to learn how to shoot better videos? Caleb Rule [graduated from GCSU in Mass Communication] recorded some basic tips complete with examples that are posted on the MDS Tech Youtube channel [and on the WMDS portal as well].
After some [NON-thorough] testing, it looks like OS 8 will work OK on our setups here at MDS.
Here are the “gotchas”:
You MUST have 5.9 gigs of space available on your ipad.
Check it in the Settings App –> General –> About –> Available
Don’t have enough? Move your pictures and videos to your Google drive.
Fire up the Drive app, click the plus sign [top right], and upload FROM the Camera roll. Once you are certain they have been uploaded [doublecheck!], then go to the Camera app, access the camera roll, and delete the files.
You will have to update off campus. Plan on it taking a while- maybe an hour.
