2025 - One Year - One Story

[digartal]

Hello everyone

Best wishes for a safe and happy Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

I have started creating an AV of my travels this year. I was aiming for one photo per week but did not quite achieve my goal. Most weeks I take hundreds if not thousands of photos depending on location and subject. I spent 6 weeks in Europe in April - June, so there are a few more from this trip to the other side of the world. The images are captured on a mirrorless camera, drone, mobile camera/phone and 360 camera. This may not be the final AV but it will be very close.

Cheers

Mark

Mark,

Nice stories. Sounds like you need  some good music now. Don't forget to show us the final thing.

Thanks Alex,the final version may not change that much.

Interesting comment about the music, I thought it was very quirky and suitable and was not looking to change it - mainly images.

Music is much more personal than images and takes more time to select for me. Obviously, copyright is not an issue with the images but most "popular" music has associated copyright.

Maybe I will give this more thought in the final version.

Thanks again for commenting and making me think.

Mark, thank you for sharing beautiful photos and videos! Amazing views, animals, birds, beautiful palaces and squares of Europe. Music can add accents. Sometimes lyrical, sometimes dynamic. Good luck! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Joy and happiness to you and your family!

Thanks for the beautiful views. The timelaps are impressive. Do panoramic photos also look original, as far as I understand they have fisheye applied to them?
The mix is also peculiar, a landscape with a wild coast turning into the facade of a skyscraper... Good luck in your creative work! I'm waiting for new jobs.

Thank you! It's so diverse and yet so beautiful. I wish you a new year full of travel and wonderful experiences! I also really enjoy panoramic photography.

I've used  a copyright music a lot. Never had any problem. Until you are going to monetize  the thing, I guess.

360 degree images are what they call equirectangular (2:1 aspect ratio). In this instance they were captured with a dual fisheye camera for ease. The area I live in is just 2 hours from Brisbane and right on the coast of the Pacific Ocean so I have nature around me and the city not far away. Thank you.

The 360-degree imagery requires a special application to make the videos which can then be further edited in PTE AV Studio. The original 360degree video cannot be edited directly in PTE. Glad you enjoyed them Mark

Even what I have been told is copyright free has been banned by YouTube and Vimeo is the same. The only exception is FB which you need to share on their platform. I have changed the start in V3 and done a little editing of the images. I am also working on a "Bird Year Story". Thanks again Mark

Great year end summary. Interesting effects and even me, an old school "no special effect, just merge on into the other" liked them😊😊.

I would have liked a screen text indicating where you are with each group of images.

Two comments re the music:

- Please fade it out at the end

- Ordinarily I would have made the same comment as Alex55, I doubt if I would ever chose it. But here it didn't bother me. I suspect I was concentrating more on the images, as it should be.

Thanks for the show

Thanks John - appreciate your feedback.

I do normally fade the audio but it must have been missed when I swapped it out. The next version does have a fade.

Except for about 6 weeks in Europe, most are within a 2-hour drive of where I live. I'm not sure that names of those places would mean anything to most in this group, but I will investigate for the next version to include on images from Europe.

The music has changed for the next one. It is different and not necessarily better.

Back to editing.
