With Photostory 3 by Microsoft

(Program Available for Windows Only)

Known Problem with the CLIC Lab Windows 7 computer stations

When users press the record button in Photostory, a pop up box comes up asking if the user wants to adjust the audio settings.  User should click ‘No’ so that Photostory can use the audio settings already in place. If the user selects “yes”, the user will not be able to record.

Saving your Project

In the CLIC Lab, please save your files in your “U” drive or in a usb flash drive.  You may use the desktop to save them temporarily, but do not use the desktop as your storage.

WARNING

When creating your story make sure you save TWO FILES:

– one with extension .wp3 (this is the file you need to open to make changes)

– the other with extension .wmv (this is the file used to view the story create)

If you are editing the audio of an existing file (a file that previously saved and trying to edit), you will need to delete the audio (circle arrow button) of a slide before you can record.

File name – follow your instructor’s guide, however, the file name should contain your last name.
