It's been a few months since I've worked on a video project - the last time was in March when I created a DVD to give to J's brother and to my parents at Easter (See Slicing salami)
The last few videos I made were effectively slide shows set to music. I was using Windows Movie Maker at that time, and it was not able to use the MOV video files from my digital camera. Since then, I have obtained a new application called ShowBiz. This software came bundled with my DVD burner actually.
ShowBiz has no problem with MOV files. It also lets me do more with effects and transitions. For example, I can chain video effects up to two levels. What this means is that I can combine effects.
I used some footage I shot in April when J's aunt and cousin came to visit. The whole family ended up having a dinner party with dancing and karaoke. I had several scenes that I had shot of J's mom dancing with various people. I split the scenes and spliced them together in a pleasing and entertaining combination, and set as soundtrack the song Please Mr. Postman by The Carpenters. I called this video Dancing mom.
J and her mom were both pleased with my video,and it reminded them of the fun we all had.
