Creating A Video "All About Kahoot" Using iMovie

This week I created a video about how to use the platform "Kahoot" using iMovie. I got started by downloading iMovie from the app store onto my iPad.  I have always heard how it easy and fun it is to create videos using iMovie, so I was excited to get started.  There are several ways to make videos using this app.  You can use videos you have filmed or create a video with pictures from the camera roll.  This part was simple enough, but editing and timing the transitions was a bit challenging.  I played around with the app for a couple of hours, and eventually had what I wanted.  I did a voice-over recording, explaining the way Kahoot is used in the classroom.  I really liked that iMovie allowed me to go back and edit any mistakes I made in my recording, and that there was music that was included.  The only downside to using iMovie was that I could not make rolling credits, and maybe this is only true of the iPad version, but I assumed that any movie editing software would have a credit function. In the end I was able to transition to some basic screenshots of the credits.  Overall, iMovie created a professional quality video, and even though you have to pay for it on the app store, I think it is well worth it because I feel like I can use it again. Here is my video "All About Kahoot."
