Yr 1 Music Production - converting mp3 to video files on iMovie

We have done research that suggests the majority of our audience access their music through YouTube. Therefore we need to have a presence on there if we want to be sure to reach our target audience - which means our music needs to be converted into video format. The following steps will show you how to use iMovie to do this.

1: Open iMovie. Drag your media (images/video and music) into the bottom section of the window.

2: Drag the right side of your image (in bottom section) until it is the same length as your song. You might want to look at the options for cropping your image (in the top right window).

3: When you have aligned your image and your song, and are happy with the crop and any other details, it is time to export. Go to the File menu, then choose Share, then choose File.

4: Name your video file - make sure it contains Your Name and your Song Title. You do not need to export to the highest setting, it will just create a huge file. When you have exported the file, upload it to your Google Drive so the video file lives online.
