Title: Video of my best images
Post by: Carole on Feb 08, 2020, 21:57:31
I created a video of my best images up to January 2020
I found the software on W10.

I don't know how the title page appears several images in, but couldn't see how to amend it.
Also think if I do this again I should have slightly longer on each image.

The music is appropriately, Starlight glow. 

This is the version with 3secs per image

I did a 2nd version with 7secs per image and annotation.

Hi Carole

A very nice collage of your images and must be rewarding after your efforts ~ but agree about the short time on many of the images.

Thanks Hugh, yes I think I might have to re-do it.

Now re-done with less mistakes and 7secs per image, added to the first post.

Very nice!  It's a great way of presenting the images although it probably doesn't so them justice!

Thanks Mark.

I did notice that one or two images came out looking smoothed out in comparison to how they looked as a still image, not sure why that happened to only a couple of them.

But it is a neat way of presenting them.

Hi Carole

Yes, much better with the 7 seconds each frame as it gives time to take in some of the detail.

It is a good way to display them but I think I agree with both you and Mark in that some are not displayed to their best.  A couple seemed slightly out of focus to me?

My goodness ~ listen to me getting all critical ~ some of the this imaging must be rubbing off on me after all this time!

An amazing portfolio Carole!

Very interesting to see.  I think video offers some interesting options for displaying images.
However, I found the randomised frame wander transition didn't add too much - perhaps a straight zoom on some would be work?
Also it contrasted the wide angle shots with the close in ones very nicely.

Thanks Noel.  Well I wasn't really quite sure what some of those animations would do, so I just varied a bit for contrast.

Fantastic, Carole. The annotated 7sec one is the one for me.
