Students sharing iMovie videos from home.

Question: My students created a iMovie for class on their Macs. I’ve had a couple of students ask how to get the movie sent to me. Any ideas?

Suggested Solution:

When they are finished in iMovie they should export their project as a file:

File > Share > File. 

Because of slow upload speeds on home wifi, I would tell them to choose the smallest file size available (or at least Medium quality 720 p):

Then they will choose where the file saves and name it. 

Once finished, (this will take awhile), go to where the file was shared and upload to YouTube. Every student already has a YouTube channel with their school Google account. They just need to sign into YouTube with their school email and then add/upload their video.

 

I think the rest will be pretty straightforward, but they will need to Publish it either as Public or Unlisted so that you can see it, 

When YouTube is finished processing it, then just Share the URL of the finished video with you (via Google Classroom, most likely).

This is by far the easiest route, but if there are any issues with it I could recommend a different path.
