Creating a Slide Show Video off the Cuff

[Fulcanelli]

I bought EMC9 basically for its video editing program, VideoWave. I'm making a slide show video with over music and this program seems willing to cooperate with me on that project. My presentation will involve hundreds of photos and I want certain images timed to appear in conjunction with certain points in the music. I know generally what I am trying to achieve but I have never done a video before and I need to find out if VideoWave will cooperate with my approach.

 

Can I link audio/visual on certain pics at certain points without have a continuous flow of pics to that point? I want to lock in the key points and then decide which images I want as I go. Does the program need a continuous flow of pics to run in the working stage, or will it run with holes in the visuals? I hope I'm making myself clear here. Just in case I'm not clear, let me try explaining it this way.

 

Let's say I have a minute of video I will be pasting together and a drum beat comes in at 0:03 and another event in the music occurs at 0:13 and I have images in mind for those two spots but not all the time between but would like to decide, hands-on, as I work with it. Can I link those two spots and fill in the other photos as I decide?

 

Thanks.

A short answer to your long question. Add one or more color panels between the times you indicated and then add the images later either to replace the color panels or as overlays on the internal track of those color panels. You can always fine tune the timing later.
