very large file as the download speed was rather slow this afternoon.

Nicely done and I wasn't hammered by the tunes which was well done for the effect.

I thought it was done well, especially the background music, which fit the show perfectly! The
photos were getting grainy as you used the panning and zoom effects. There has to be a better format
than mpeg rendering for this type of application.

Pretty cool, except :^ ( for that tune, and different.

There seems to be a lot of fuzziness on many of the shots as they pan in. I ran it under both MS
MP and QT.

Try using a download accelerator like Star Downloader or Download Accelerator (do a google)...

It's not an mpeg issue it's an editing issue.

There is no fuzzy/pixelation if it's done right in a program such as Premiere.

I like! In fact, I think I like this better than the videos I've seen.

The style reminds me very much of ninjai ( www.ninjai.com ) ... is there a name for this sort
of approach?

I'm not familiar with Premiere. I'm using Ulead's MediaStudio Pro. The photos I were using were 5 MP
in size. The major problem for MSP was the large downsampling required when zooming out. When I
zoomed in the flickering would go away. If I were to do something like this again I would do the
initial downsampling in Adobe PhotoShop before importing into MSP.

With Premiere you don't need to downsample, you can use the full resolution image and avoid
pixelation issues if you pan and zoom.

I'll download the Tryout version of Premiere and check it out.

I don't know if there is an official name. It's just a bunch of pan and zooms. Unofficially the
method is called the Ken Burns effect.
