Photo Story Sample

[PapaJohn \(MVP\)]

My newsletter this week is a tutorial about using Photo Story to make this 2
minute story....

www.papajohn.org/Newsletters/89-LasVegas.wmv

Some of it's features:
- 16:9 widescreen story - at 852x484 pixels
- all pix are movie frame snapshots taken by Movie Maker from DV-AVI
clips... the footage was taken by my sister-in-law Linda
- background texture/embedded URL by using Illusionnae
- composite pix made by Paint.NET
- narration from the DV-AVI clips was mixed with MP3 music by Movie Maker 2
- the final syncing of images and audio was done in PS3

Now that the sample is done, it's time to do the tutorial....

Fascinating, and I am sure the tutorial will be very helpful. I have one
small crit, however. I suspect that in an effort not to bore us ,you have
made most of the shots about two seconds too short! I needed just that bit
more to take in what some of them were, and to view the detail.

Many thanks for all you do here.

Quilljar,

Yes, you got it... as it's just an exercise for a newsletter tutorial, I
changed from the default of 5 seconds to one of 2-1/2 seconds... and made
some of them go by even quicker.

Thanks for the comment...

You don't have a pause button in Media Player?

What?
And ruin Papa's rhythm?
Still now he has explained, I will allow myself the luxury of pausing on
some frames - thanks!

My natural style is to go much slower, more romantically, so maybe I overdid
the speeding up to fit with today's average viewer..... whoever that is!!!

I'm still writing the newsletter, and appreciate very much the comment...
