Looking at Ken Burns

The first time I saw the Ken Burns effect with iPhoto, I was taken aback.

"What's causing my pics to zoom in and out," I wondered.

It wasn't until I spied the control that I saw what was happening and was intrigued.

I then found out that Ken Burns did some masterful work on the history of the Civil War in the United States and was then forever hooked.

Being able to take photos and turn them into movies is a goldmine for Macintosh owners. Here's what I mean.

With a simple digital camera and your Mac, you can create commercials, digital memory books, promo DVDs, catalogs, reviews, trade show reports, company updates, training packages, guidebooks, memorial DVDs, instructions, DVD proposals, DVD business cards, DVD information products, and much, much more.

Anything that might be put in a book that uses graphics or photos could be explained on a DVD and thus give more visual punch to any explanation.

Why am I saying this when many people say that you could just go out and film with a video camera?

Maybe someone doesn't have a video camera yet.

Maybe someone just has a box full of photos they want to share.

Maybe someone just has graphics or artwork they want to share.

Maybe the cost of producing a film is just too much.

Listen. If you want to shoot a video and use iMovie, great.

If you want to use your pics and iPhoto, wonderful.

The Mac gives you so many possibilities that we could go on and on and on.

The key is to snoop around your Mac and learn what it can do.

The Mac can do far above what you imagine, but for what you dream digitally, it's enough.
