[This post cosmetically edited after FML distribution.] I get a lot of e-mails from people asking what program I use to edit my videos that I have links to on the web. Though there's lots of fancy (and expensive) programs out there I simply use the movie program that comes with Windows XP - Windows Movie Maker. It's super simple to use plus has a lot of cool effects and features. Using my digital camcorder (mine's the Sony DCR TRV340 from a few years ago) I capture" clips of whatever I've recorded via USB right into Movie Maker. Then I plug the clip into the "timeline", add titles, credits, etc. You can add audio as well - like when I did my "monster movie" - www ferretocious.com/movies/monsters1.wmv Even cooler is it lets you overlap sound clips - hence, the two "monsters" fighting that are actually individual clips just slightly overlapped. Also has all the standard video effects such as adjusting the brightness, slowing the speed, etc, etc. Now get out there and start filming - and send me YOUR creations! A friend of mine is revamping my web page and we'll have a "theatre" full of movies - both mine and "guest film makers" Anyone want popcorn?? Laura at ferretocious.com [Posted in FML issue 4826]
