Software for creating animations • Microsoft Movie Maker 2 (Windows XP)an excellent beginners’ package but it does have some limitations e.g. the limited number of audio tracks available. • Powerpoint - Insert a still image onto a slide, then set the slide transition to 0 seconds for all slides and the animation will run as smoothly as your PC is capable of. • Microsoft Photo Story 3 (Windows XP)Cerates a simple picture slide show with audio.Ulead VideoStudio 10digital editing and DVD production packagehttp://www.ulead.co.uk/edu/runme.htm • Adobe Premiere Elements 2.0This allows users to rapidly expand beyond the basic skills provided by MovieMaker and produce professional appearing films. • http://www.adobe.com/education/products/premiere_elements.html.iMovie package (Apple Mac users)contains a collection of professionally designed scenes including video and graphic overlays and advanced transitions. • In terms of sources of audio tracks one extremely useful site is http://www.freeplaymusic.com which supplies music tracks that are free to use for educational purposes (do check the terms on the site regularly).
