I must be to much of a purist, I see very limited use for this in the artistry we create? You can Google, video editing software, if that’s what you want to create. I’m stymied what effect it would have to enhance our shows? In comedy… maybe, old 8mm footage* hmm, or just to add a new transition to help a boring show…lol I would think the best way to answer this question is to do a sequence by adding your photo's to a trial video editing program and see what it looks like. Most allow you to add photo's to the video your editing. Then we can change this discussion to any benefits it adds/detracts from our shows. (I know Lin was anticipating this). I have recently played with painting (Corel painter 11) on some of my old bad photo's I needed to use in a sequence and they came out nice but still wonder if it really added or subtracted from the core of the show. I did say "sequence" as that is what we are trying to produce . . . right? Not videography, nor slideshows. I have seen some of the most beautiful "slideshows" created by the folks here and many would be additionally spectacular with a narrative added. But I understand why they aren’t, as most of our voices don't add to but subtract from the show ( I scored a 6/100 on the Karaoke machine, I know). My hope is Igor will work on voice enhancement so we can all add our voice narratives to our shows. * I have tried to extract short video clips and photo's from my fathers’ old 8mm movies to use in segments of one of my new shows and it's nasty to make it pretty! Suggestions always welcome! Its Spring it the Desert here, the Lizards are out! -DD

Hi Folks, This sequence is a Tribute to Lin Evan's wife Sherry who, as many of you know, recently passed away. It is a collage of photos in Celebration of Sherry from some (about a dozen of us) that have been known to lurk around the PTE forum. I swear one of them sleeps here...lol We all felt the only true remembrance we could convey was in pictures put to a sequence. It's the one love we all share and offered it to Lin with all our heartfelt feelings of love and sorrow for his loss. It runs 3 minutes in a HD 16:9 format (1920x1080). You can download it here: A tribute to our Sherry I know some of you missed the earlier post and if you would like to add your pix I will be happy to expand the show. Just email it over to me, we have two months till he returns. Cheers & Enjoy, Desert Dave P.S. With a fore warning from Ken Cox (thanks Ken) I was able to get it to Lin just hours before he left on his two month 7,000 mile jaunt around the country. He was quite happy with the effort (the opening pix was her favorite (unbeknown to me)and extremely excited to take it along with him for the relatives to view hell be seeing along the way.
