Hi, Some of you may have seen the recent post that I made on the "Best private garden in Canada" - I just completed a show surrounding the weekend and wanted to share it with you...this will be a total French immersion show...French songs, captions and videos. I hope you enjoy it and see how beautiful this corner of our world is.

Lavina gave me the idea for the first slide (after watching Demo #2) and my husband gave me the idea of the closing video clip. I laughed nearly the whole time I was preparing this show, remembering all the great times we had.

Well, I really liked the show -- even if it was all Greek .... errr French
to me :D

Excellent photography -- many of your pictures were in lighting
conditions that are tough to work -- you got them right on !!

I really liked your ending video - only thing I didn't like was the
way the music at the end just "cut off". (now if I just knew what
they were saying !! )

Music cut-off

Postby LouiseH » Sun Aug 12, 2007 2:46 pm

Hi Mickey, thanks for the note...I was not happy with the music cut-off but for some reason it would not end where I wanted it to...I tried for an hour - I was wondering if it was because of the last video clip, it was also interesting that my show on my computer had a perfect music ending but everytime I uploaded it on Photodex it did not give me the same results ...so if you know what I should have done to sync the music, let me know...always willing to learn.

Hmmm -- there is the "edit sound times and fades", but it sounds like
you did that. What I have had to do for a number of sound tracks is
take it into an external editor (I have Adobe Audition, but the free one
whose name has wandered away from my mind for the moment) should
also work and take out a section in the center of the sound track. An
end usually sounds like an end, but often, there is some place in the
middle of the track where you can either take out a chunk or loop a
chunk to make it a bit longer and that is much harder for anyone to
detect. As far as the video clip goes, you may need to edit that to
make it the length you want -- video clips seem to give quite a few
people problems - I haven't had any yet, but I suspect that is just luck !!

Audacity -- the FREE one -- I knew it would wander back sooner or
later (sing to the sound track from "The Old Grey Mare" ... "The Old
Grey cells aint what they used to be ... ) :lol:

[edit] one more thing -- you should not have to upload it to the sharing
site to be able to test it -- when you create it for upload, it first builds
a psg???.px file in the same temp directory that it downloads to when
you watch a show which should be (with the obvious name change)
C:\Documents and Settings\Mikey\Local Settings\Temp
and you should be able to double click it there and see how it came
out without having to wait for the full upload or download.

Appreciate the info, I'll check this out.
I like what you told me about not having to upload to test - this saves so much time.

Hmmm - I may have found an even easier way to do it. If you select
the "web show" button, it will ask you for a directory, you browse to
the directory of choice, specify a filename.px you want to save to and
hit create. When it is done, it will have created two files in the
specified directory -- filename.px and filename.html -- if you double
click the html file it will open a browser window to play the show, but
you can also just double click the showname.px file to view it from
Presenter. There is probably a trap door somewhere, but I just
found that this afternoon (well, it was new to me anyway).

What would the world be without color??

Nice summary of what looked to be a very enjoyable weekend.

For some reason the music came through all chopped up. I had to mute it. I suspect it is just a network capacity problem.

It was a wonderful show, I just wish I could recall my 3 years of French in High School. Pics were great and even though I did not understand the words, the music and rythym were great. Nice Job, Ann

Notes

Postby LouiseH » Mon Aug 13, 2007 3:42 pm

Ann - thanks for the note - most people get a little French in school but never get to practice...hope this brought back some memories.

Ken - color puts a smile on my face...sorry you had a problem with the music...It was probably the system.

Bonjour "burntb4" - Merci pour la belle note en français, c'est apprécié

Really enoyed seeing this set of photos - some, in what must have been quite tricky lighting conditions, you captured spot on. What a great weekend it must have been with lots of interesting subject-matter. Loved your colourful flower shots, and especially at the end with you two sitting watching a slide show. Well done.

Thanks

Lavina, Thanks for the note. Appreciate the comments and want to tell you that if it wasn't for my husband's "photoshop magic" a lot of the "tricky lighting conditions" would not look as great. As we say at home, it is a team effort. I also wanted to thank you for giving me the idea of the first slide (waterfall outside of the frame)...appreciate it.

We are presently travelling in the UK and will post new shows when we are back in September.
