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.
Movie Maker doesn't have any controls for image manipulation. And as
far as I know, the only file type you can save it as is a Windows
movie file ".wmv"
All Movie Maker does is allow you to string together still images and
video clips and add a soundtrack.
I had to make a homemade music video for a class one time. The
instructor recommended using Power Point, but I couldn't get the
timings right so that the images would sync with the music.
Movie Maker will do that.
I believe that there's a program called something like Virtual Dub, it's
Freeware that has a full set of editing controls. I haven't played with
it in a long time so I could be confusing it's features with something
else. I downloaded it to a test system and it didn't destroy it and it
didn't try to phone home with personal information. It was a bit buggy
and would sometimes crash for no particular reason if it found a problem
with an AVI file. I only mention it because it fits Anns budget.
