In iMovie, I placed a few hundred (500-600) still images from my collection of things gathered and created over decades - personal images, things I created, things I like, or that mean something to me. I essentially made a slide show with no transitions between images (no crossfades or wipes, just instant change) and set the duration of each image to a mere fraction of a second (0.0625 sec.). Yet, this was still not fast enough, so I brought the resulting video clip into another program, HyperEngine Montage, where I could speed it up even more. I made two versions - one clip had about 12.5 frames per second, and the other one 25 (about as fast as video will allow). Still in HyperEngine Montage, I superimposed these two video streams on top of one another and did an extremely slow (4 minute long) crossfade between them. What you see at the beginning of the video (after the count-in and title etc.) is the slide show at 12.5 frames per second.. Ever so slowly, this transitions (via the long crossfade) to one that is twice as fast - which is what you see at the end. This is why there is all the mish mash of oddly flickering images in the middle section (where, by design, the music gets a bit odd and mixed up too). I am just learning this stuff. The other couple of videos that I posted a month or two ago were created from royalty-free stock VJ loops that I bought a few libraries of and cobbled together. This video was all original from me (as far as content goes). In many ways I feel the video is more successful than the music. But neither is especially great. I can do better . . . and hope to. Like I said, I am still learning. Best, Ted
