Making an EVP movie

[Tracey]

I havent done this before and was wondering how you make a movie from evp. I have adobe Audacity where I make my files into wav or mp3 and now I have Pinnacle Studio which I havent used before but sort of looks like moviemaker.

Now I have worked out that you edit them in as MUSIC.....mps(not sure yet if you can put them in as wav too). I have seen chris do this and put a pic of a audio wav as the picture and transitioned it and put writing in. She just used the same picture for all the different evp and just transitioned them but I am wondering if it is possible to actually capture the audio wave file picture that goes with the evp or maybe just a still photo from the actual file.

Has anyone done this before and how did they do it?

Thanks

I have done a little using moviemaker which is easy cause you import the audio file then click and drag it into the position you want under the frames. then you can write whatever you want in the frames above the audio file. Does that make sence?

Ok Dave, so if you importing the audio file which I tried, you get no picture to go with the sound so how do you get a picture? Do you just choose a random still photo somewhere of a audio wave file on an editing programme?

Yeh you can put in what ever you want a still picture, words, video whatever you want!

Tracey if you use a screen capture program such "mwsnap"http://www.mirekw.com/winfreeware/mwsnap.html you can then save the captured image as a jpeg and insert that into the movie.
It's important to put the files in the correct places when making the movie. Make sure the picture is in the movie part and the mp3 is in the audio track (normally below the movie panel in most programs) then when you render the movie you should get picture and sound.
I hope this helps.

Thanks for that, will play around. My son mentioned something about a screen capture but I thought he said that there was somewhere i coudl do this with windows.

Well you can with windows but mwsnap is a much better tool. with windows use [Alt] and [Sreen Print] together followed by [CTRL] [C] to copy then paste it into mspaint. and edit it to how you want it then save as which ever format you wish to use.
