Something about "getting our hands greasy" and tinkering under the hood.

I've been thinking about this for a while. Quick test with ChatGPT. Prompt: Changes: Music: “The Lusty Month of May,” Julie Andrews and Ensemble. Duration: 91 seconds. Music starts at the beginning and fades out over the final 5 seconds. Resolution: 1280 × 720, 24 fps. All 15 photographs retained. Camera movement eliminated to address the jerkiness. Smooth one-second dissolves between images. This version emphasizes the photographs, music, and transitions without distracting camera movements. Pretty basic. Verdict? I prefer turning the wrenches (spanners) myself. It's more fun. Cotswolds_Camelot_720p_Under7MB.mp4

Very well done. I was there 15 years ago; your presentation made it feel like yesterday.

Incredibly artistic!! Conception, design, execution. Just Wow.

I, too, am in the Win zip camp. It's easier for me

The "placeholder" idea I developed while learning to use your templates really came in handy here. While I studied Alex55's template, I replaced the "Replace Me" slides with my numbered placeholders. It really helped me not only to learn the template, but I find it easier to place and use photos where I want them.

Thanks to Alex55 for the Viewfinder Template. I used it to put together a few pix from a show photo shoot. A higher resolution version is on my photo site. Majestic Tango, Barclay Theater, University of California Irvine Majestic Tango Behind the Camera-template anestudio55-720_2.mp4

Great advice.

Very nice work!

Took the words right out of my mouth (if I had any there:-)). Thanks for the meaningful explanation. John

Sorry for the long delay. I agree very much with your colour distraction observation. This street car example, for me, really emphasizes your comment. I shot these in 2015 in Krakow. Color: meh. B&W: hits the mood of the scene (for me).

While I'm not a fan of infrared photography, I like what you did!

Very, very nice work!!

A nice, fun show. Thank you.

I concur with Bad Dancer.
