Most of the example school produced movies being displayed have been created with various cameras, scanners and audio sources. However there is one thing they seem to always have in common.

Most all School / educational institution editing is done using "Apple" brand hardware and editing software.  Mostly because Apple computer took lead in making sure the educational institutions were well equipped  for preparing  the students  foe the multimedia connected world!  They were in the authors opinion,  true leaders with vision.  That future is becomming reality now!  I tip my hat to them and others who have this vision.
 

Namely, educational institutions editors consist of ....  
Apple Final Cut Pro, iMovie and Final Cut Express.
When editing photos, iPhoto,Final Cut and "Apple" seems to have it all...

"Quicktime" player for (.mov) format is the mate to Apple editing software.. seems to be preferred for best quality and presentation via the web.. However data transfer volume is very lengthy for Internet use..

There are many other fine Multimedia (Video / photo) editors..  for those of us that cant afford the price tag of Apple...


Pinnacle studio is among the best afforable solutions. It will allow you to save your projects in .wmv, .rm, mpeg and other replay formats.

Power director    According to the "Power Director people"  Here is what you should consider and.What to Look for in Video Editing Software
Listed below are qualities that TopTenREVIEWS considers most important when choosing video editing software.

Ease of Use –Video editing has many multistep tasks, inherently intricate and complex.  Easy software navigation is key to video editing success.

Feature Set–The feature set is the range of tools the video editing product includes.  Features vary in quality and quantity; software products with large feature sets offer more editing choices, but are often more difficult to use than software with smaller feature sets.  Consider buying the product with the feature set that closely matches your video editing needs.

Ease of Installation and Setup– If the software isn't easy to set up, you probably won't use it.  This category ranks installation ease, the software's ability to recognize the camcorder, and setup of all software options.

Help/Documentation/Tech Support– Quality product support for video editing software is not a perk, but a necessity.  We look for comprehensive help documentation, tutorials, FAQs and support forums.

Video editing software allows you to organize, edit and touch-up your video memories, creating presentations that are fun and enjoyable for all.

For package media presentation through e-mail.. it is a mixed bag...
All 
offer different economies in the amount of memory used and data transferred across the Internet.  Conversion for most formats can be acomplished with a wide variety of programs.  RiverPast,  Quicktime Pro,  Real Media and many others will do the job.


Macromedia Flash  Pro 8  may be one of the best new answers as it will render most digital formats to a flash based (.flv) format.  The advantage is that the .flv flash movie will play on most "modern computers" (since 2004.. )  without the user having to download or setup anything..  And even if a download of software is required it can be done as part of the movie streaming / download .

It will help you Create rich online content, and teach and learn digital communication skills. Studio 8 is the essential software suite for creating and delivering rich online content and applications, and teaching and learning digital communication skills. Combining the latest releases of Dreamweaver, Flash, Fireworks, Contribute, and FlashPaper, Studio 8 offers a new level of expressiveness and efficiency to create websites, interactive learning experiences, and mobile content

To do streaming flash..  one needs a "Streaming Server" (.flv) and (.swf)
Of Course, there is the professional and a bit more expensive option of actually encoding with a special editor encoder... using the best high quality video source (such as a AVI, mpeg and other) to be converted to a .flv format. Actually, multiple .flv streams are created for fast, medium and slow speed Internet connections.

The
(.flv) encoding is usually saved in a special hardware device called a streaming server equipped with a streaming software server program and attached to the fastest Internet wideband connection available.

  A  .flv / .swf streaming server software allows (on most streaming servers) detection of the actual kind and speed of the end users computer as well as the Internet connection speed. Some servers even detect the kind of media player available.

Usually the download starts immediately and is as fast as the users connection will allow. The picture quality is usually excellent! Most Movie Theaters previews are seen using this process.
