Thea's first video: Weeks 1 & 2
Hello again. I know I'm long overdue for a post, and I have one half written, but since it's taking so long to complete, I thought it better if I at least post this for now...
Love it Jen! She is sooooo cute! When will you be in Vic? I am planning my summer and want to make sure we overlap!
Also, while it doesn't detract in any way from her cuteness, (but you mentioned it in your wall post to me on FB)... I'm sure there is a way to rotate video--even using a PC- are you using imovie or MSmoviemaker? In imovie it's in the section where you can crop the clips and do the Ken Burns effect with still photos...
Okay, I got curious and looked it up on a moviemaker forum... here is what you do:
"You can rotate video clips in Windows Movie Maker by doing the following:
1.Import the video clip into Windows Movie Maker.
2.Drag the imported video clip and drop it onto the timeline.
3.On the Tools menu, click Video Effects.
4.To rotate the video clip to the right, drag the Rotate 90 video effect and drop it onto the movie on the timeline.
-or-
To rotate the video clip to the left, drag the Rotate 270 video effect and drop it onto the movie on the timeline.
5.On the File menu, click Save Movie File and follow the instructions in the Save Movie Wizard.
For detailed instructions, see Windows Movie Maker Help.
Note that you may need to adjust the pixel aspect ratio of your rotated video so that it looks normal during playback. See the next question for more information."
It was great seeing and talking with you three tonight. We just looked at this wonderful video. We could just watch it all day--even the spit up! Love, Grandma Diane and Grandpa Elliott
