Magisto Video Creation Tool
This past week I ran a workshop for our staff on video creation and editing tools. Magisto is one of the easiest video creation tools to use. Within two minutes of signing up for a free account, I had uploaded ten pictures of books I have read, picked a theme and a song, and created a short video.
Description (directly from Free Technology for Teachers):
Magisto is a video creation tool that allows you to quickly drag videos and images from your desktop and or Google Drive account to your Magisto account. From the videos you upload, Magisto will select the best portions to remix and blend with images. After you've uploaded the media that you want mixed, select a theme and music for your video. Magisto creates your video after you've completed the steps of uploading media, selecting a theme, and choosing music. The final video is emailed to you. In addition to the web-based service Magisto offers a Chrome app, an Android app, and an iPad app.
My Thoughts:
If you are looking for a simple tool to use with your students to create videos, Magisto is as simple as they get. Both my children were able to figure out how to create their own videos with clips and images that they had on their Ipods. I typically use WeVideo to make videos with students, but the editing in WeVideo takes my students a lot of time. This web-based service does all of the editing and designing for you and the videos look professionally done.
