iMovie to Schoology

Here’s how to get an iMovie project submitted to Schoology

Click on your project [NOT “Edit”]
Click the “Share” Icon
Select Schoology as the destination
Select the assignment/folder/location
Wait for the Upload circle to fill.
How long it will take is determined by how big the file is and the internet bandwidth that is available to you.

Let’s say you need to create a slideshow, then add some audio that plays with the slides, and output it as a Movie.

Here’s one way to do that.

Create the slides using Google Slides or Keynote

Record your screen.

Call up the slides. Start the presentation. Record your audio while advancing the slides at the right time.

Once done, press the record button on the top right [or call up Control Center and stop the recording there].

Then you can edit your creation in iMovie – don’t forget to make the audio louder!
—–

Go to Settings > Control Center > Customize Controls, then tap next to Screen Recording. [That’s to make sure the button in step 2 is there]
Swipe down from the top right edge.
Press and hold on and tap Microphone. Make sure the microphone is set to ON.
Tap Start Recording, then wait for the three-second countdown.
Open Control Center and tap . Or tap the red status bar at the top of your screen and tap Stop.

The file is stashed in your Photos.

Let’s say you are working on an iMovie and want to add some music or audio that is NOT builtin. Here are some options:

Setup your personal iTunes AppleID inSettings. Anything you’ve purchased or Synced using iTunes on a Desktop/Laptop will show up on your iPad [eventually] when you click the Audio tab [top right] and select Playlists/Albums/Artists/Songs.
You can record your own audio by clicking the microphone icon, bottom right.
–> So you could record your narration this way
–> You could also play a track on a radio, and just place the iPad near the speaker. It’s low-fi, but might work well enough!
You can also EMAIL an audio file to yourself. If you have an MP3, Wav, or AIFF file that you’d like to use, then just email it to yourself.
–> In the Mail app, open the email. The file[s] should download.
–> Click the one you want to use. It starts playing.
–> Click the EXPORT/”Open in….” button, top right – it looks like the square with the arrow pointing UP. Select iMovie.
–> ….OR in the email message, just click and hold on the audio icon. The “Open in…” box will popup.
–> iMovie will open, and you can select if you’d like to place the file into a new project, or one you’ve been working on.
–> The audio clip will be placed at the beginning of the project. You can move it around [and trim it, etc] just like any other clip.
