Ann, have you tried using Window's Movie Maker? It is free with windows from XP onwards I think. It is a really easy to use program and would probably be more than enough for what you need...
HTH!

I.e. "help" Just for fun, I decided to use my darkside P&S (Canon A80 from 2004) to make a little movie of Ashley drinking out of her tall pitcher. what the camera produces is something called an AVI In movie/video mode that camera makes only tiny low res files ... and for my purpose that was fine except Kitty and pitcher were against a white background and , well, you know - kitty underexposed throughout... I can play the video but can't edit it. What do I need? If it were a still photo I'd just use brighten it up in photoshop elements 5 with the "lighten shadows" thingy. But I can't open the AVI file at all in any editing thing I have. thanks, ann -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4849 (20100208) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
