AV News 201 - August 2015 He demonstrated PicturesToExe 8 using the preparation of sound including voiceover, music and sound effects and images including manipulation to achieve visual effects for an AV on Tombstone, that notorious town which played host to 'Gunfight at the O.K. Corral'. He also uses Adobe Audition for sound editing but thought that PTE was quickly catching up. This was followed by a showing of Ron's latest production 'A Hit or a Myth' (the show which was the result of the afternoon's demonstration) and a short discussion with the audience on the merits and failings of the AV. The benefits of using a USB mic were mentioned, and the emphasis of a proper file and contents structure for each project was highlighted time and again. The afternoon concluded with a short presentation on where we go from here, will it be the use of drones to achieve our images, time-lapse photography or the inclusion of more video. Only time will tell. The next Snods Edge meeting is on 10th October (sooner than usual). Our afternoon speakers are Howard and Suzanne Gregory. There will be a section on sound issues - recording problems, file types, copyright and licensing to name a few, plus showing and discussing some of their sequences. We hope to see you there. Page 11
