How to use Mozilla”s new Popcorn 1.0 Templates for non-coders

POPCORN TEMPLATES 101

After showing Mozilla’s Popcorn Interactive Film Popcorn Templates at TeachMeet London on Thursday 10th November I’ve had a steady stream of people nagging me to make a screencast about it.

Many of them are non-coding teachers who like the idea of controlling interactive movies.

So I bowed to pressure and here is a ‘Popcorn Templates 101′.

I pre-prepared a movie to work with – you can use it too if you want to – the URL is

http://blip.tv/file/get/Learn4life-PopcornTemplates101882.ogv

(just right click the link and download).

Put that link into the popcorn template maker here when prompted in the template/screencast.

Anyway here’s the finished movie once it has been through popcorn:

To see how to make it, or an equivalent, just have a look at the screencast below.

Next week I’ll put up how to change movies into Ogg Theora format for upload to the web and why that is a good idea.

Now stop with the nagging…
