How to Start making your movie in MovieMaker?

The easiest way to learn how to use MovieMaker is to have something to do and to learn as you go. However it is quite useful to have an idea of what some of the buttons do before you start.

This tutorial is a good starting point but knowing what you want to do and finding out within MovieMaker is the best way to learn.

You will have to put a soundtrack on your movie. Using copy written music is illegal so here is a source of CC free music which you can download and use http://ccmixter.org/view/media/home.

Be ready with pictures of screenshots you made of your install. You can also do a live SSH session with Putty for remote shell control, or access the web interface of your project (if any).

RPI – Connect to the lab wireless access point

To be able to access the internet with your RPI, please follow indications to get your box connected to the lab AP.

1. WiFi card presence

pi@raspberrypi ~$ sudo iwconfig

You must see wlan0, if you don’t see it then you don’t have a wireless network card connected to your RPI.

2. Available networks

pi@raspberrypi ~$ sudo iwlist scan

You can see the different access points that the wireless card can see.

3. Monitor the events

pi@raspberrypi ~$ sudo iwevent

In a new shell, you can monitor the events on the card with that command.

4. Configure your access

pi@raspberrypi ~$ sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

Just add the following network by typing:

network={

ssid=”rpi”

psk=”ASK_ME_THE_PWD”

proto=RSN

key_mgmt=WPA-PSK

pairwise=CCMP

auth_alg=OPEN

}

5. Connect

pi@raspberrypi ~$ sudo wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

You should now be connected to the access point.

6. DHCP

To get a DHCP address lease, hit the following command:

pi@raspberrypi ~$ sudo dhclient wlan0
