Rob, Tan, Cotty .... thanks!
Eureka! I found Movie maker... (I DO have XP) Looked like fun ...
thought I was getting it.. but couldnt find
any controls for things like brighten or color changes etc.. and I did
look at the help menu. Any clues about that? If I "make" the movie,
does it get saved as another type (get a different file extension) from
AVI ?
I was about to scold Rob for not telling me what the thing was called
but Tanya called it by name... too
simple by far :-) there it was in my list of programs.
Now what I hope someone will say is that I can make a clip, save it and
the file extension will be one that
is compatible with Adobe Elements 5.0 ... or my darkside file editor
that I never use.
Am I dreaming?
If I am, I may take you up on that offer Cotty :-)

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.
Hi Ann,
Windows XP (and later I assume) come with a little movie editor
program in which you can apply effects and then re-save the file, if
you have Windows 2000 or later it gets a bit more difficult.
Cheers,
