Saving as a Movie File Make sure students save as Movie File once they are finished and will not be making any more changes. (Note: saving in this format does not allow changes to be made) Go to File Save as Movie File This will save as media player so that it can be viewed properly from any computer. Media player is a term typically used to describe computer software for playing back multimedia files. If you have students hand-in their movies without saving this way, I have found that often times the pictures will not show up.
