I did the opposite - I put some beautiful Oklahoma sunset pictures to my music. If you have 7:25 to spare, please squint your good eye here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0e_VGQPT7c&feature=channelEat your 'art out, Steven Spielberg! Are we 'aving fun yet? Somebody shoulda told me that it takes two hours to upload 7+ minutes of video! Critiques, please.

Very nice Don - sort of a trilogy with the songs. I might have split them up as people's attention spans are short.... but really fine job. Pretty pictures and very nice music to go along with them.

nice job, Don.. I love the pics and your arrangements.
However, I think that "internet clickpast" is such a strong force to overcome, it's generally a good idea to make a separate video for each song. Most people won't listen all the way through one song.... I would guess that all but your friends will click away before the end of a 7 minute multi-song video. (put me on the friend list)
which video software did you end up using?

Pat, I used Windows Live Movie Maker. It came with Win 7. (Good Oyrish name, btw). Actually, there are only two tunes there. One's 3+ and one's 4+ minutes.

Don,
Very nice photos and music.
I enjoyed the second song with the sunsets.
This is a lot of work to do and you did a nice job.

+1. I wonder what Graham (Furry) would do? He has a lot of experience with putting videos to music and putting them on YouTube. Maybe send him a PM?

One of these days I'm gonna come to the US, buy a Harley and do a tour. Oklahoma's just been added to the route. Can you guarantee the sunsets?

Great job Don, what county in ireland did your ancesters come from I wonder?
I think making a music video nowadays can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be as most video software has an auto produce feature where you just load a lot of pics and it will do the zooming and other things for you.
I use muvee auto producer usually works out ok and only takes a few mins to add the pics to a song.

Thanks, Musiclover, much appreciated.
My same Canadian cousin, Helen, is compiling The Gaynor Family History. She knows where in Ireland my grandparents were from. My parents were one generation removed, as they say. Both were Canucks, born in Moncton, NB where Helen and most of my relations still live.
I used Windows Live Movie Maker which has that "auto movie" feature you mentioned. It also makes the music end on the last picture automagically. Kinda handy.

ROG, you will fit right in with my group of Okie friends, they all take weekend motorcycle trips. Even Valerie, the photographer, has a monster bike and they know the most scenic routes. They are not rowdy types so you would have clean fun suitable for the whole family.
Incidentally, many of those photos were shot from Valerie's kitchen window.
I think I can guarantee the sunset and I know, without a doubt, that I can guarantee a "cupa!" I am 30 miles South of Tulsa on Hwy 75. As they say down here: "I'll leave the laht ouhn fer'ya!"
