I finally put some images to video in a manner worthy of Leica I was able to maintain an extremely high level of image quality, outputting the final sequence to HDTV. Using a combination of software I was able to put together a short video incorporating native motion on stills and viewed on a DVD player. End result, A 10 minute mini-production all done on a PC workstation. Photography, I think, was the easiest part. Getting all the software to work properly, and learning how to use it, was the tough part. But worth the effort. I just sent off some VCDs to a few friends for feedback. Now all I've got to do is figure out how to stream video from my web site. Throwing on a sound track, some native motion and some transition fx really adds something to still image viewing. However, I still enjoy printing and viewing large mounted prints. Thus I prefer Leica and film to digital capture. I just may not be using the Ektagraphic as much in the future. Visual communication is a blast. I just wish I had the right voice to do my own voice overs. Dave - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
