You will be creating multimedia presentations using a combination of media tools. Audacity for editing your audio, iMovie for combining still images with audio to create a video file.

Media

1. Still images
   • JPEG or TIFF is best
   • Image dimensions of at least 1280 pixels wide are best
   • Frame images to be "landscape", NOT "portrait"
2. Audio
   • Edited and normalized in Audacity
   • Uncompressed WAV or AIFF files are best

Best practices

• Use networked file space on Orca or cloud based storage as a backup for your local copies
• Create folders and sub-folders to organize your media
• File naming: Don't use special characters (except - or _) or have really long file names
  • Ex. "photo of strange artifact.jpg" would be much better named as " strange-artifact.jpg"
