This video was shot with an JVC HDD camcorder. The video was then edited in AVS Video Editor. The drawing portions were sped up while the pauses where slowed down. A number of "outtakes" were cut out as well. Two shots were where redone as well the next day, however, the lighting the next day was a little off. Again, using Video Editor we adjusted the color of the clips and where able to match very closely.
The Music was too short for the length of the Video. However, using AVS Audio Editor I chopped the song into three pieces. Then I opened the first piece, open and appended the middle piece, open and appended the middle piece again, and then open and appended the last piece. Now the song was long enough!
The result is a parable from the Bible which was used to teach my wife's fifth grade class:

This next video is a "slide show" of pictures. It was compiled again with Video Editor. The voice is recorded using a simple USB mic right into Video Editor. The music is a midi file of the song "Old McDonald." Because the song my wife created doesn't follow the verse/chorus pattern of Old McDonald I again used Audio Editor to extensively cut and piece parts together.

Finally, the following Video is also a "slide show" of pictures. Done completely in Video Editor. I think this Video really shows off some of the power of Video Editor that you just don't get in the bare bones free programs like Movie Maker. The text scrolling across the pictures as it fades in and out... the Video (or in this case, picture) overlay so that you can have picture on picture... Those things can't be done with Movie Maker. Oh, and how it's all Sepia? Takes about 1/10 the time in Video Editor that it does to do this in Movie Maker because I can just drag out the effect bar rather than pulling the effect onto ever picture.

These are reasons that I quickly purchased AVS software. Even after just using it a few days I was already able to do so much more with it. Thanks so much!!
