Multimedia Application Examples

Creating a multimedia project is not hard at all. It may seem overwhelming due to the fact that there is a vast amount of software to use. All you need is a computer, software, and creativity. Creating a multimedia project is like a puzzle, it is important to stay organize and work in sections so you know what applications you would want to use for your project. When working on multimedia it is important, to begin with writing the content of what you want on your multimedia. This will help you design your picture and help you decide what software’s to use. The software is an important aspect of your project because the software tells your computer what to do. 

As I work on my multimedia project assignment, I felt good. Having different options gives you an opportunity to explore software and does not limited you to what you can use. With all these options, it gives me a chance to work on my creativity. It empowers me to work even more on my ideas. Sometimes it can be a bit overwhelming but staying organized will help you with your ideas. All the options that were provided to me were good because they gave me a chance to think of what I can use .it was a great starting point to designing a multimedia media project.There are many applications that can be used. For instance, you can use video, audio, stock photos, and animations for your project. In addition to working on my project, I came upon some products that will help me with my multimedia. Prezi is an application that gives me the opportunity to add these elements to my multimedia project. What I like about this application is that it is easy to use and you can even incorporate your voice as your audio, add pictures seamlessly, and your written ideas can easily be added to the Prezi application. What is cool about the Prezi is that you can also use animation on it.

When it comes to stock photos, PowerPoint is something to consider. It gives you a chance to look online within the PowerPoint application and it is easy to insert. It also has a section where you can use your voice to record your narration and you can also add animations. There are many things you can do with PowerPoint once you get familiar with it. 

Another application I came upon is Freepik.com. I like this application because it gives you a vast amount of vector images to choose from and you can reshape them exactly how you want to use them and you can actually have the vectors make movements like walking, waving, jumping, and even talking.

Panopto is another application that you can use to record yourself and you can even use animations and images while you talk. I can see teachers and instructors incorporating this by recording your lesson and adding images to engage your students in your presentation. Panopto is another application to consider when planning your lessons.

Toon Boom Harmony is an animation application that is friendly and easy to use. You can actually incorporate any type of stye of 2D or 3D animation.  It even tells you how fast you want animation to be. This software offers many tools and features that makes your project come to life. 

In addition to these applications, I found two more that were pretty interesting. One is called Pencil 2D. This application is free and is an open source which allows you add features, and you can even add vectors and audio effects that focus on your animation as well. The second application that I really love is Cartoon Animator. Whether you are a beginner or experienced, this application is right for you because it allows you to choose from a vast collection and apply different movements to your animations. You can also add color, lip and facial syncing, and it is easy to file.

Overall, any application that you use will make your presentation come to life. I will provide some videos that can help you better understand how to use each one of the applications I talked about on this paper.
