The red shoes Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 So, please can someone enlighten me on how to put all video sections together? i don’t want to film in one go so how do I put the videos together if using an iPad for example? Is there a handy App I can use ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HowMuch! Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 I can’t help, but was wondering the same thing myself! I was going to look for an editing app but I have no idea where to start! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raquelle Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Hi guys. Im lucky to have a graphic designer hubby who does it for us. I think I replied to a thread recently about this and he said you could use imovie then export it as a file e.g. vimeo? It then becomes a link? So sorry it means nothing to me!

Ballet Dreams Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 We will be using I movie, we used it for my DD ballet boost video audition. It’s really easy to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanceTeacher93 Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 If on an ipad download iMovie (free) - it'll let you pop all the videos into one (called a project). Then click export as a file - you'll have one long video with all your clips included x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daintydancer Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Do you know if you need to record on the iPad to use iMovie, or can you record on your phone then transfer to iPad for stitching parts together with iMovie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have an iPhone you should be able to AirDrop the recorded videos to your iPad (they will go to your camera roll) and then you can put them together on iMovie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ljmk Posted December 10, 2020 Share Posted December 10, 2020 Has anyone done their videos yet? I’m planning to get it done before the kids break from school - but I’m clueless. She has a routine but undecided on music 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has a routine but undecided on music I’ve done my DS’s, it was submitted mid November and watched on the 1st of December Have you had a look at the guide on the RBS website for what needs filming? When videos were confirmed to be replacing in person prelims, a really useful guide was put onto the website detailing exactly what to film and we found it a God send! Good luck filming your DD’s video, hope it goes well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonzin Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hello. Hope everyone had a lovely xmas break. Has anyone else left it till the last minute like us? I have found it impossible to find the time to clear a space and set aside a couple of days to film! Also applying for Elmnurst and Tring Park as well as RBS, so quite a lot of filming to be done in the next couple of days! Any tips greatly appreciated :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hello Zonzin and welcome to the Forum! It's worth using the tags at the top of the topic to do some searches - there are various threads about video auditions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any tips greatly appreciated Hi we are plodding through ours, we've submitted some and got some to do.. its the ever changing rules, lockdowns, periods of self isolation that haven't made it easy. Me and my husband have done our best. They all have different requirements and some the same too, so that hasn't helped but dance academy of mum and dad have done our best 🤣 we are hoping all schools will be aware parents aren't dance teachers lol which I'm sure they are. Good luck with your videos, just print out the list for eaxh school you are trying for and work your way through it and this is a great place to turn to for support xx Also if you aren't iPhone (like us lol) there are great apps for putting clips together.. xx Edited December 29, 2020 by Crazylifecrazykids Add more info 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BisforBallet Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Hi Zonzin, yes us! Filmed some today. We have some done and some to submit. I wish the schools had come together with the same video requirements would have been so much easier. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponklemum Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Same here, one has been sent today and the rest are being looked at, being redone or being put together. Xx 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zonzin Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Thanks ladies - thats so reassuring to hear! Yes @MrsR it would have been SO much easier if they had all decided on the one video requirement... @Crazylifecrazykids - thank you yes I think I'm getting my eldest daughter to help out with filming and editing on iMovies... I dont think I could have managed it otherwise, and there I was thinking I was pretty tech savvy - obvs not! Anyway, thank you and good luck to everyone XX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raquelle Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Its so hard isn't it! I did rbs and elmhurst just before christmas and tring yesterday. Leaving hammond as have a bit longer. It has been stressful! I did a spreadsheet and worked out what was needed for each dance. Luckily there is some crossover between the schools. Also filmed barre from both directions (front and side) as hammond and tring require some from the side. Tring also ask for both sides for barre. Did some with dance teacher some at home. Certainly not perfect but we tried our best as we are not from a dance background! Good luck with getting the vids finished x 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X I could not agree more. We have submitted ours before Christmas. Yes, it is not perfect - majority done at home and only travelling steps done at church hall before we were moved to Tier 4. I am glad it is done as due to a new surge unlikely to be much at home for few upcoming weeks. Good luck everyone 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raquelle Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Good luck everyone! Does anyone know if they've had any views?!

But they did confirm it was all playing. RBS once again was a one drive link so can't see if viewed (thankfully lol) but a friend who submitted same sort of time via Vimeo said its been viewed and I read on another thread people were getting views early/mid December. Elmhurst is out only YouTube submission and no views as far as I could tell. Good luck x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetitJeté Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Submitted ours on 31st Dec, what a relief! Also ended up redoing some bits a few times! The confirmation email said we should hear no later than mid Feb. Hoping it’ll be sooner though, the waiting is so nerve wracking! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My DS has his heart absolutely set on WL and even though he knows his chances are so tiny he is desperate to get to finals, he asks every day if we have heard anything yet even though he knows the deadline hasn’t even passed yet.

Honestly though I would say if/when WL students are back at the school, they could hold auditions, perhaps just in small batches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they will choose a smaller number to go to finals so that they can more easily audition them whether live or on zoom or whether they will give more children the benefit of the doubt this year. I hope the latter lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
