Jason try muvee AutoProducer for video slides, extremely easy to work with and try to showcase your work on vimeo, a lot better then YouTube.
Great pics, love your work!

I have worked making these video/slideshows myself with my own images. It is lots of fun. The program I have been using in ProProducer by Photodex. Very professional, and versitle and give a high quality product.
Love your show. They get more fun as you play with them more.

ya it kinda sucks but oh well, life isn’t fair. My buddy told me about a new site like youtube called Vimeo.com and so far they don’t restrict you from using any song you would like to use.

Hi Jason,

I hear you on the not making money point and would tend to use that angle myself if challenged about something like this.

I didn’t know either that Youtube had a list of pre-approved music, so I did a little bit of digging. It’s not that immediately obvious on the homepage! But I came across a feature they call Audioswap (http://www.youtube.com/audioswap_about) which must be what your friend is talking about.

It also seems that there was some form of agreement between Youtube and WMG (Warner) that would allow users to use WMG published music in their videos and WMG would advertise on those videos, but it appears there was no revenue in it for Warner so they cancelled the agreement. I was wondering why I was seeing an increased number of videos where the audio track was muted by Youtube.

HI Thorsten,
It’s funny you mention this because when I showed one of my friends this video he said youtube will probably eventually remove the video because I am using a song that is not mine. I actually had no idea this was not legal on youtube. He then told me there are a selection of songs that the public is allowed to use. Youtube has that list posted on their site.

I think the difference here is that I am not posting this video to make money. I’m not selling the video. It’s a fine line. I have many students ask me to use my photos for a project they are doing in school and I let them use them because they won’t be making money from the photos. We’ll see how long youtube keeps the video up and then I will have to choose from a selected list on their site.

Hi Christian,

Thank you for the comment. Are you saying the transitions are too slow ? I don’t quite understand what you mean by too smooth. And the white borders are disturbing, meaning you would rather see no borders at all ?
