Yes thank you Dave. Have downloaded now just got to look at it - LOL. Do you have a style that gives you more hours in the day?

Yes I have the S23 Ultra and will upgrade before a trip to Europe next year. Check out my FB page to see some examples of stills and videos created on the mobile. It is my go to phone bit no good for blurred motion, decisive moment or IR that I shoot a lot of.

Thanks Gary, that has been the criticism of the Insta files in various 360degree forums (propietary software editing). The Theta uses DNG and JPEG for stills and MP4 for video so universal editing tools apply. Storage with any video is a problem (even mobile). The good thing is that storage is cheap these days. The other option is the cloud which removes the loss of files due to hardware or theft. My normal equirectangular 360's images from the drone and the Theta can generate video using a screen recorder but quality is not great. The big issue will be weight and what photographic toys to take with me when travelling. Thanks again. Mark

Works well. Quite effective. I wondered about this myself as I have the Theta Z1 and was thinking of ungrading to the X3. Thanks for sharing. Mark

Round 7 of the 2023 V8 Superboat at Round Mountain Raceway at Cabarita just up the road (about an hour away). Big day with races taking under 1 minite most times. Over 50 individual races plus warm up and once they start there is not much time between races. This is the final race of the day and I managed to capture this mishap in front of me. Made a selection of images into an AV. Touch and go for a while for the crew so I stopped photography and resumed once it was clear. Cheers Mark

Not an expert by any means but......... So in the project mode when you play it there is sound? Try saving another version and press the play button at the end of the creation and see if there is sound? Cheers Mark

Thank you Rosemary. It was a great play and unable to video due to copyright but they do allow our camera club to take images for the actors.

My local thetre company production of this famous English TV program. Slideshow of a selection of my images from the play.

Great show, thanks for sharing.

Here is a slideshow made from "On The Job" shots from a group of photographers who meet weekly to wander around our local area. You will notice the influence of AI in some of the imagery.

Grabbed some clips from the SORA website today after it was launched. Made this short AV using the site videos, collated by a human and edited with PTE AV Studio.

Yes I do that also but more of a movie speed ramp (slow down) rather than a timelapse albeit that is what the phones use as a name. My phone has two modes but a different effect. This is over 400 camera still images made into a movie as such and taken over a 40 minute period. Thanks for commenting.

A series of around 425 images edited and combined in PTE with short duration time and merge to create this AV. Shot 2 days ago in Ballina Australia.

While digital audio editing is easier than the analogue process, I would be doing the way you suggested. Working with smaller audio files makes the complete edit process easier IMHO.

PC or Mac? Try this solution

Will be interted to see what you come up with. Seems like you have a handle on it already re the insv and insp files. I use the Theta Z1 for work and 360degree single images but the video output is not good. My understanding is the the OneX3 is great for video but unsure if you have the interactive option in the MP4. I stayed away from the Insta range as they have propietary software. Cheers Mark

Thank you, they are lovely little birds. Cheers Mark

Thanks JRR. The Superb (Blue) is more common around here than the red backed. I used to have some blues in my front yard but local pets scared them off. Right place right time and while I could not adjust to my desired settings, it was timely. Thanks for commenting. Mark

Managed to capture a few hundred shots of this tiny little bird (Male and Female) with my digtal camera last week. Images edited and cropped square for social media. They had been quite shy and elusive but saw some more this morning strangely enough. Made some of them into a slide show using a Style shared by DaveGee - thanks again DaveGee. Cheers Mark

Always interesting to see snow images associated with Christmas. In the southern hemisphere, we are in the middle of summer and it is very hot here.

Amazing, absolutely stunning work. Very impressive.

Thanks, yes Adult face painting for sure.

Thanks Nelson, amazing what ChatGPT can do to give you the bones and remove northern hemisphere references and then make it more local.

I attend a Halloween special cabaret night in early November. The lady who runs it also does Life Drawing so this is Life Drawing meets Showtime. This is a selection of camera and mobile images from the night made into an AV using PTE. This second version was captured and edited on the mobile using horizontal pictures. Cheers Mark

On the outskirts of Lennox Head, a cozy over-50s residential village nestled among the native tall trees, flora, and fauna, a sense of anticipation bubbled with the arrival of December. It was the time of year when the air became thicker and warmer, carrying the scent of the heat from the day and the promise of festivities coming soon. In this quaint community, the holiday spirit came alive in the most heartwarming ways. Some residents of Sanctuary Village took immense pride in adorning their homes with Christmas lights. For them, it wasn't merely about twinkling decorations; it was a tradition that embodied camaraderie and the celebration of Christmas cheer. Each day, as the sun dipped low on the hills behind the village, casting an amber glow, a friendly sense of camaraderie unfolded silently among the neighbours as they gathered for the Christmas cheer. Each year, The Village People dedicated weeks meticulously planning and stringing lights, aiming to outshine their previous year's spectacle. At the forefront of this seasonal spectacle were Greg and Barbara. Affectionately known as the "Lighting Maestros," their house took the art of holiday decorations to soaring heights from the rooftop to the star on the tree. Turning their modest cottage into a mesmerizing display of shimmering lights and animated figures. In 2023, the moving Santa stood proudly outside their home and sang and danced jovially to the sound of Christmas tunes. It said that the lights from their place can be seen from space. Around the winding streets, the jovial Sharon, — also joined in the festive fervour. Her approach was more whimsical, featuring a menagerie of colourful statues and ornaments wrapped with lights and strung between and through the garden, and the archway and accompanied by an extensive collection of ornaments and trinkets gathered over many years. The veranda was transformed to a magical display of Christmas festivities. As families entered the village, sounds of excitement could be heard in the air. As December unfolded, most of the village became an enchanting sight as the Christmas cheer spread from ear to here. Soft, twinkling lights adorned eaves, windows, and fences, creating a kaleidoscope of colours that danced in the balmy summer night. Residents and visitors strolled along the winding roads, marvelling at the creativity and dedication displayed by The Village People. Yet, the true magic of Sanctuary Village wasn't merely the luminous displays but the unity they fostered amongst the night lighters. Neighbours came together, lending a helping hand when a strand of lights flickered, tinsel or a decoration needed adjusting. As friendships deepened over shared stories over a roast dinner and cold drinks at the Social Club Christmas Party. As the days drew closer to Christmas, the laughter echoed through the groups of people who came to see the magical light show. The days passed, from to another, a sense of excitement grew, as the appearance of Santa loomed from December 15 until Christmas Eve. Santa would sit in the robust red sleigh, listening to Christmas wishes from the young and the young at heart while checking who was naughty or nice. In the spirit of Christmas, The Village People and Santa asked visitors for a donation to Our House in Lismore. Yearly, from December 15, a sense of wonder enveloped Sanctuary Village. The entire village seemed to sparkle as families gathered outside, admiring the shimmering spectacle. Greg and Barbara’s house glowed like a beacon, and Sharon’s cheerful lights brought a smile to every face young or old. When the clock struck 10.00 pm on Christmas Eve, the village became silent. Santa had to leave and start his deliveries and The Village People needed their rest. For the past 10 days, the twinkling lights had glowed with the true essence of the season: warmth, togetherness, and the joy of sharing moments with children and adults from the local community. In Sanctuary Village even though some residents had gone to greener pastures, the beauty of the holiday lights was not just in their brilliance, but in the friendships, they illuminated among the residents — a testament to the enduring spirit of community in the village and the magic of Christmas. I have been practicing my sixth sense to see who has been naughty and nice as I am playing Santa Claus for 5 nights before Christmas.
