Hi All,

Brian,

Loved putting that video together for you. With a subject like 'rain' it was fairly easy to find suitable clips from Pixabay .. but I did get very wet! I left the original sound on the first clip so you could hear the rain before the music started playing. Then I 'mute' any sound on subsequent clips. The program I use for doing videos is VideoPad from NCH Software, and like anything you do I discover more things about the program every day. You can 'zoom in' onto part of a video of your choice (like with the bird in the rain) .. or 'zoom out' (as with the hill shots); can 'cut' video clips to make them shorter .. and even slow them down or speed them up to make them longer or shorter. Movement becomes quite effective when done in 'slow motion'. And I love choosing the Transitions between the clips. I have just learnt from Den how to do the 'cube spin' and bring it to the front from behind (he has this program as well).

But none of this would be worth watching without a sound track, and it's hearing an inspiring piece of music such as yours that gets me fired up in the first place!

It's great watching these videos at 'Full Screen' (click the 'square' icon in the bottom right corner once it starts). The video has a 'Copyright Claim' on it (for the music played, not the Pixabay clips, which are Copyright and Royalty FREE .. that is the whole point of them). With YouTube you are just told that 'the Copyright holder has allowed your video to be shown, but Adverts may be placed on it' (this is how the Copyright holders get their revenue). Any adverts that appear as 'rectangles' within the video you are watching can be removed by clicking the X in the top right hand corner of the advert (you don't want that box showing while you are watching the video!). The other types of Advert that come in before the start of a video (you have to wait about 5 seconds before the video starts, and sometimes have to click Skip Ad when those words appear) don't seem to pop up on Embedded Videos.

That was super Brian. The video matched it. Ken S.
