Presentation Materials

June 2010  Presentation  Wrap Up from Judy
Larry Plyter showed us how to Edit Our Digital Camera Videos Using ProShow Gold.  Larry demonstrated how this incredibly powerful, yet user friendly program can be used to edit individual video clips we capture with our camera.   He also very creatively showed how we can combine our still shots with video clips and music to create a dynamic “themed” movie and how to upload our creative masterpiece to YouTube. 

As most of you know, I moved to Austin to immerse myself in the music culture here.   For the SIG demonstration, I gave Larry some still photographs and video clips I’ve been gathering from the many concerts I’ve attended.  The movie he created, called “Scenes From The Live Music Capital” can still be viewed on YouTube by clicking on the following link:
