  •  
• Photostory is the free option on PCs
  • GREAT for getting motion
  • you can create music for your video
  • if you create music in photostory and import into movie maker
• Demo Photo Story 3

DON'T PUT YOUR FAVORITE POP MUSIC BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL CONCENTRATE ON THE MUSIC INSTEAD OF THE VIDEO

 

Moving Beyound Freebies

use them first and then move into something that costs money

 

• MACS - Final Cut Express
• PCs -Adobe Premiere Elements ($90.00 www.bhphoto.com)
  • memory hog
  • need good processing power and LOTS of RAM
  • need good video card

 

These programs have great ability to have tracks.

imovie 08 or moviemaker does it for you (take these pictures and do something with them)

Just like saving a project regularly, you need to render regularly.

 

iMovie 08 is easier to get into fast

iMovie 06 is more difficult to use

 

don't get the most expensive or best

demo with opacity, keyframes

What's the difference between Adobe Premier elements and Adobe Premier? $500.00 Both programs basically do the same thing. Elements uses less RAM, etc.
