PT: PhotoFilmStrip

Program Thoughts:

I was sent a link for a program called PhotoFlimStrip two weeks ago, actually before I was in Linux.
It is a cross platform (Linux & Windows) program for creating movies or slide shows of your pictures.

I only recently tried it out, and I did so on my Linux Mint setup. I don't believe you can get it from the software manager, however for those using a Debian based system, there is a download on the website for a .deb file, so if your like me and prefer a single click way to install things, this program does it.

Here is a video I did showing how easy it is to create a video:

One thing to note about adding audio. When you render the video, it will adjust the length to however long the audio if, which means if you have six pictures and a four minute song, prepare for a four minute video with six slowly moving pictures.

Best to gather your images first, then trim your audio in a program such as Audacity to however long you want your video.

What is great is you can render your video in HD. Keep in mind this can take quite some time.
The first time I tried rendering with the original file sizes of my pictures, it took 5 minutes for 3 pictures.

I resized my pictures to around 800 x 600, which sped up the rendering process (though won't be HD).

Here is a short video I made to see how it turned out:

With the exception of how long it can take to render HD images, I'm quite impressed with how easy and basic this program is, yet produces a beautiful video!
