Photo Studio 2 and the S4KP
Posted: Thu Jan 01, 2009 7:29 pm
I can't wait til Photo Studio 2 is available for my S4KP, but in the meantime, I cut a piece using my old AVIO to do the animation. And it worked like a charm.
Here's how I did it, if you guys want to know.
I scanned the photos out of a book and Photoshopped them. The book was written by the subject I interviewed (he gave me permission).
Then I put them on SD card and imported them into my AVIO. I set the AVIO project in 16:9 because I was taking it to my S4KP. Then I put the animated photos onto a storyboard with one second black scenes in between them.
I then exported to tape and captured to my S4KP.
As an aside, I could probably have just exported from the AVIO to the S4KP, which I did with my documentary feature and it worked well.
The capturing into the S4KP was a little odd, because the photos were on tape in DV and I wanted to take them into an HDV project. So, I created a separate project and then added the captured scene into the clipboard and then converted the DV to HDV into the final project. From there I added the photo animations where I wanted them.
Here's the final product: http://einsiders.com/features/columns/s ... rticle=437
I'm sure that the there are easier ways to do what I did, but this approach worked well for me. Please give me your thoughts. And Happy New Year!
