There are many web sites and software available to edit, publish and share video – some are readily accessible on your own computer. Mac users have iMovie and PC users have Windows Movie Maker. Both software are easy to use and have editing and publishing features. There are a lot of web sites that allow you to edit, store and share your movies. Most are free with an opportunity to upgrade your features for a price. Sites like Kaltura allow you to upload your video, store it on their site and embed a movie player on your web site or blog but do not provide an editing function. MotionBox, Shwup and JayCut are sites that allow you to edit your video, customize transitions or provide special effects in addition to storage and publishing options.
I created a video about my granddaughter using Movie Maker and published it with Kaltura. I found Movie Maker to be very user-friendly and easy to use. The software allows you to be really creative by editing clips and being able to apply cool transitions and/or slide effects. Kaltura provides step-by-step instruction for uploading videos and publishing to your web site or blog. You can also send e-mail with a link to your video. I enjoyed the process and look forward to creating and sharing more videos!
