Glenda Collis and her P2 class are making a short video about their school, Rothes Primary. The idea is that it can be shown to new or prospective parents. The pupils have already filmed their video clips and today Glenda is using the SMART Board to demonstrate how to edit their clips into a sequence and how to add transitions using Pinnacle Studio video editing software.
