FileLab is an online Video and Audio editor. It’s a free, alternative to software such as Windows MovieMaker or Audacity. OK, both of those are already free, but especially in the case of MovieMaker any alternative is welcome.
FileLab provides a very user-friendly editor. I had a play with the video editor and found it quite simple to add some clips, add text over the top and create a transition. There are quite a few video effects and transitions available.
To use the site you do need to install a plugin – so you might need to speak to your ict technician to get it installed on your school computers. The same plugin is used for both the audio and the video editor.
Also – to download your finished movie you will need to sign in to the site with either your Facebook, Google or Yahoo accounts. This may be a problem in schools. There’s no option to sign up directly with the website. You could set up a class Google or Yahoo account I guess.
If you are looking for an alternative to MovieMaker (and who isn’t) – then it’s well worth taking a look at FileLab.
