HOLY MOLEY !!! You HAVE to tell me how you did that! That is awesome!

[Katharine]

That is fantastic! The art is great, but the music really sells it! Terrific use of text and timing, but especially wonderful choice of a soundtrack to set the mood.

[DrRita]

Wow, thanks guys.

Lynn, I did this on Premier Elements. The music is purchased through a site called Shockwave (http://www.shockwave-sound.com/index.html). I think you could also use Window Movie Maker but it's really harder to get the special effects because you only can work with one video track. On Premier Elements or Final Cut Express (Mac) you can work with multiple sound tracks and video tracks allowing overlay and backgrounds etc. Hope that's a clear as mud. . .:cool:

Nope. I got it. And thanks a bunch for the info. Is Premier Elements part of Photo Elements? How much is it?

[DrRita]

Hi Lynn,
Good, didn't know if it was understandable. Here's what it is Adobe (http://www.adobe.com/products/premiereel/?sdid=DKHUK) and here's probably the most reasonable place to buy it Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UK6OUK/ref=nosim/?tag=pcsoftware4u2-20). I would recommend you get the book that they offer with it "Making a Movie in Premiere Elements." I haven't used it but it might help. And you can always pick Matt's brain too. :D

[lynnmosher]

Yeah. I'm used to photographic stuff around our house. I'm into it a little myself. And yeah, we do get educated via Matthew! LOL! Thanks again for the info. I'd love to try it some time. Don't know right now what I'd use it for except for fun!
