Yesterday I had fun creating a video slideshow with Animoto. It’s turned out quite well I think, which I hasten to emphasise is due in large part to Animoto rather than any clever video editing on my part.

The only problem I’m having with it is setting a title frame. I uploaded it to YouTube which will do this automatically for you but the quality’s not too good. I tried adding one myself in Flash but failed miserably, showing unfortunately my rather limited grasp of Flash. If anyone can give me any pointers on this I’d be grateful to hear more.

I’ve also uploaded it to Flickr which was quite exciting, as it’s the first time I’ve used the video upload functionality. Again, I’m stuck with a rather dull black screen for a title which isn’t exactly inviting but at least it will display some basic authoring details.

Anyway, here it is: my Animoto video slide show of my Lofotens photos. I’ve used a track I like off the last Explosions in the Sky album (”It’s Natural to be Afraid” from All of a Sudden I Miss Everyone) as the background music. I’m probably not meant to do this so am happy to remove it if required.
