Rerun

We are going into the season of reruns, so I thought I would rerun a blast from the past.
We did a class on Windows Movie Maker last session. I had a lot of fun with the class and I hope you did too. I would like to post any movies or slide shows any of the students made on this blog if you wouldn't mind making it public. If you have a video you would like to share just email me at ajlinds@yahoo and I will show you how.

For those of you who didn't take the class here are the steps and the way I put this video together.
It started with the music track which was a 45 record. I converted it to a digital file. (incidently the record is probably over 40 years old. )

I put the file in the music track.

Then I went on the internet and found the pictures of the sights in Little Rock that are mentioned in the song and a few more.
I found all the sights except for one (Boy's Club) I still don't know why it was significant enough to be mentioned in the song.

I then inserted the pictures at the appropriate spot. Dragging them longer if needed to fit the music.

I added a few transitions and title effects and saved my work. Then I up loaded it to You Tube so it could be shared on the internet. Here is the results:

Legends of America

When you travel, do you often wonder what happened at "this place" in the past? Who lived here? What were they like? How did they live their daily lives? If that's the case for you, at this Web Site you will find content-rich travel destinations of the American West, including Route 66, ghost towns, outlaws and gunfighters, and even a few ghosts along the way.

If you like history of the old west, plan to spend hours at this site.
