Digital Slide Show
Making better photo slide shows
by admin on Jan.08, 2010, under Digital Slide Show
Let me share part two of my Digital Slide Show obsession.
I have been turning all my old travel photos into music videos, and I am starting to get it right. I have put a page on tips for making better slide shows.
These aren’t boring slide shows either, but MTV-quality music videos. These movies are created using Animoto, a state-of-the-art, professional quality video production system. It uses artificial intelligence to analyze each photo in your digital slide show, sets them to music and produces MTV-style transitions between photos.
It is so easy to get these amazing results from your own photos. My granddaughters can make movies, and so can you! To see how quick and easy it is, check out the top post on this digital slide show page.
Here are some more vacation videosĀ I have made from stills and video clips I took during a cross country trip I took a couple of years ago.
There are so many aircraft in the U.S. Air Force museum that it is hard to pick few enough pictures to make a reasonable length movie. So I limited these to bi-planes. Take a closer look at the Bi-Planes in the Air Force Museum.
When we rolled into Texas, we went to the Ladybird Johnson Wildflower Center. We later went to San Antonio and visited the Botanic Garden, then move on to Louisiana where we stay in a ‘historic’ building…
Our local Master Gardener’s class needed a slide show highlighting and celebrating their year of study and work. This Class Graduation presentation was the result of that need.
For more information on how you can use this great new software, just click the link that appears after each video or visit Animoto.

My adventures at the Naval Air Museum in Pensacola and Fantasy of Flight in Polk City Florida.
Another travel video, this time of the Precolumbian Art Exhibit in Chicago.
While I was in Chicago I visited the Botanic garden. They have an outdoor train section there that was quite intriguing. A friend has an outdoor train set, so I shot these pictures for him, and now have turned them into a movie.
The Digital Slide Show

Welcome to the New Age of the Digital Slide Show
There are many ways to make a digital slide show. Most slide show software allows you to cycle through photos, maybe even video clips. You can pick a transition or two, and maybe you add sound. And digital slide shows are still boring.
Now that has changed. Now there is Animoto.
Animoto is new software that turns these slides into high quality, MTV-style music videos instead of just a stream of slides. You can add these movies to a DVD, watch them on-line or in your favorite digital picture viewer. Your new digital photo album is so much easier to watch than poking through your photos.
It is easy to use!
This site will show you how to use Animoto - easy photo software that makes a spectacular digital slide show. It is easy to use some of the most advanced digital image processing technology, software and hardware available. Artificial intelligence replace the human video editor and give you results that rival or surpass what you see on TV everyday.
Watch the two 4-minute videos below as I build the movie at the bottom of this page.
In the first video below, see how to log into Animoto, select your photos to load and how to adjust your pictures.
