I really enjoyed this post and look forward to playing with WMM, just maybe not by myself!<BR/><BR/>I thought Barbara had an interesting idea.

Then you have "Transitions" that you just click and drag between the photos.<BR/><BR/>If you want to try something fun, but very easy, just check out slide.com<BR/>I did a couple of sideshows as a way of keeping trip photos and also of my cover art. You can just paste them together and then easily move them to your home computer, MySpace or wherever you want them.<BR/><BR/>Here's mine:<BR/>http://www.slide.com/r/7H6hts5d5D-bt7HtNiHiYGh1HBDSkELi?view=originalDelle Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551688823035092802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-48660036514858903202008-06-12T12:13:00.000-05:002008-06-12T12:13:00.000-05:00Quite honestly, I think I went overboard in this a...Quite honestly, I think I went overboard in this and it looks like it's too complex. But it doesn't need to be.<BR/><BR/>If you can write a book blurb or do a quick elevator pitch to an editor you can do a video. Use that 50-100 word blurb as your base.<BR/><BR/>Don't try to tell your whole story- why would anyone want to buy the book if you've told them everything? Think HOOK.<BR/><BR/>Take a few minutes to check out Windows Movie Maker on your computer. You'll see you have three tracks, one for your photos/videos. one for your sound, and one for the overlay of titles or whatever words you want to appear on the screen. you just line things up the way you want them. There are tricks to making things overlap or making each "scene" shorter or longer and adding in those cool transitions that fade or turn pages and so on. But you basically just work these three tracks.Delle Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551688823035092802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-89776214229027037982008-06-12T12:04:00.000-05:002008-06-12T12:04:00.000-05:00Delle, thanks for sharing all this knowledge with ...Delle, thanks for sharing all this knowledge with us.
