One of the best ways for someone to learn video editing is to start by working with still photos. But using still photos doesn’t mean your videos have to look unprofessional. In fact, you can create gorgeous videos by simply taking still photos and adding motion to them. This is known as the Ken Burns effect and I show you how to easily do it here…
Hi Dave
You had asked for comments on viewing experience, the video worked flawlessly without stalling and was excellent quality.

Works perfectly at the highest resolution. (I’m in Florida.)
Hi Dave
All in good working order in UK at 12 Noon local time
17th Jan, and produced at your continued standard of excellence.
Hi Dave
I was able to watch the video without any problems.
One thing that did cross my mind though….wouldn’t it make sense to have the video tip of the week ready to play at the top of this page without having to select it from the menu underneath?
It’s just a thought because when I first found this site I didn’t know what I was supposed to do until I figured out that I had to select the current video tip video from the menu…I don’t know if anyone else thought this or not.

Hi Dave,
The video played perfectly from my home computer but had buffering issues on my computer at work. But all I have to do is put it on pause and let it download and all is well.
I agree with John from the UK that it might be better to play the video tip of the week at the top of the page rather than having to select it. I know what to do now but didn’t at first.

I am now connecting to the Internet using the Clear wireless system. Portland was the initial test city. Video cam in perfectly. When i used ti get them over DSL they were horrible.

Video played perfectly from my laptop here in Fairlawn, OH.
Regarding John O’Hara’s comment – I had the same experience about locating the video tip of the week, so maybe putting it right away at the top might not be a good idea. Some people, who are not as persistent as us, might just give up and go away.
Loved your video on adding movement to stills.

Hi Dave,
Love your site. Would love to see moving motion stills within FCP, and address moving stills where one is using “letter-boxing.” I’ve had problems with this item because the moves dip into the letter-boxed areas. Any suggestions? Thank you! Alec
