You can edit the video components (the text on screen, how it appears, and the image shown). As you are moving course materials online, Lumen5 can be a quick way to add a visual element to your course materials.<\/p>\n<h3>An Example Handout and Video<\/h3>\n<p>The video below was created with the text from a <a href=\"https:\/\/3764s18.tracigardner.com\/requirements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">webpage that explains my labor-based grading system<\/a> and a <a href=\"http:\/\/tracigardner.com\/labor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">tip-filled infographic<\/a> on how to do well in the course. The result is the following video:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/EAmp2KLg3Hc\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen>[embedded content]<\/iframe><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/tracigardner.com\/labor\/GradesIn3764-Transcript.pdf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Video Transcript<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The video took me about three hours, though most of that time was spent searching for appropriate, diverse images and for the background music. The result is far more interesting than a Zoom video allowing students to watch me read the information to them.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Create Your Own Video<\/h3>\n<p>The process is straightforward:<\/p>\n<style>\nol li { margin-bottom: 21px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/lumen5.com\/auth\/signup\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Create a free login<\/a> on the Lumen5 site.<\/li>\n<li>Use the Create Video button at the top of the dashboard page, which you reach after logging in.<\/li>\n<li>Choose one of the available options (start with a blog post, paste in text script, use a media file, or begin with a template), as shown in the image below:<br \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tengrrl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/turn-your-handout-into-a-video.png?resize=630%2C419&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Video Options in Lumen5 (start with a blog post, paste in text script, use a media file, or begin with a template)\" width=\"630\" height=\"419\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-136\"><\/li>\n<li>Provide the text for your video, following the on-screen prompts.<\/li>\n<li>Wait while Lumen5 uploads and processes your text, adding images and key phrases to the video slides.<\/li>\n<li>Edit the slides as you wish, changing the placement of the text, editing the text, choosing new images, and changing the options for the images, all shown in the screenshot below:<br \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.tengrrl.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/turn-your-handout-into-a-video-1.png?resize=630%2C292&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Lumen5 edit screen, showing different layout available and other options.\" width=\"630\" height=\"292\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-138\"><br \/>Notice on the upper left that you can also choose different media, templates, and music for your video when you are editing.<\/li>\n<li>Click Publish when you are happy with everything, and the video will process and then prompt you to download.<\/li>\n<li>Share the completed video as you like\u2013in your CMS, on YouTube, or elsewhere.\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<hr width=\"50%\" style=\"border-top: 1px solid #dcdcdc;margin-top: 36px;text-align: left;margin-left:0;\">\n<p class=\"post-last-modified\"><span class=\"post-last-modified-text\">Last Updated on<\/span> <time class=\"post-last-modified-td\">March 20, 2020 at 5:18 AM<\/time><\/p>\n<p>This post was inspired by a piece written for Bedford Bits: <a href=\"https:\/\/community.macmillan.com\/community\/the-english-community\/bedford-bits\/blog\/2018\/05\/15\/convert-handouts-to-videos-with-lumen5\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Convert Handouts to Videos with Lumen5<\/a> and originally published on the Teaching Online 911 blog.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You can make a simple video that pairs key information from a short handout with images using the free web-based tool Lumen5.
