YouTube Video Editor (http://www.youtube.com/editor)
We've been working with a few different video editing software, and finding one that works for students accustomed to Macs, PCs, and Chrome books has been a challenge. Some students, we find, don't even have access to there own computers, so editing video can be a real challenge. Until recently.
YouTube's video editor is a great, entry-level, cloud-based software that allows students to create simple videos. After creating a free account, students can upload clips of video footage they collected and simply drag them into place on the timeline. They can also drag transitions into place and utilize creative commons video and royalty free music if needed.
Once the footage is in place, an audio file can be selected and typed words can be added to the clips. Right now there is no way to add your own voice-over to the video, so any audio you record on the clips will have to suffice. Once the project is done, just hit publish and it's on YouTube.
This video shows just how easy this tool is to use.
