-==Merging Videos==
+. Select "Start a New Thread" button and add a description for your thread.
-For this project you will need to have one person who takes each of the individual videos that group member creates and complies these into one comprehensive video.  You will need to first share these videos with the member of your group that is doing this process on their laptop.  Remember, video files can be much larger than you would see with other documents so you may need to use a external hard drive, memory stick, or cloud storage (see OneDrive above).  It is strongly recommended that you use your OneDrive for this sharing so that you all have these videos stored somewhere other than your laptop and easy access to these files in the future.  In the following sub-sections you will learn how to pull the individual files from your group members and merge these videos into one seamless video.
-===Merge Video Tool===
+. Finally you will need to select the Insert Stuff button (see figure 3) and choose the Enter Embed Code option and paste the copied content from your clipboard, select the next button, and Insert button.
-To merge your videos into one comprehensive group video you will need to follow the directions below using the Merge Video tool from Aconvert.com.  Before launching the merge tool, download the video files from you group member to a single project folder on your laptop.
-# Go to https://www.aconvert.com/video/merge/
+[[File:Insert_stuff.jpg|350px|center|frame|Fig 3. Insert Stuff]]
-# Make sure the Merge checkbox is selected at the merge tool (See Figure ???? number 1).
+. Choose the Post button and your Voicethread video will be available to the class.
-# Next, you will need to choose the video files (see Figure ???? number 2) from the project folder. '''Important:''' You will need to select videos in the order you wish them to appear in the video.  This will create a link (see Figure ???? number 3) with all the files in sequence in the Source File.
-#  Click on the Output file link to preview your merged video and within the preivew you will see the download merged video button (see Figure ???? number 4). This new video file (i.e. a mpg4 file) will download to your desktop on the Mac and on PC it will ask you where you want to put the video.
-==Posting from MediaSpace to D2L Discussion Board==
-For this project you will be posting your video to a D2L Discussion Board. The following article provides step-by-step directions for posting your video to the D2L BrightSpace Discussion Board.
