No visit yesterday
I didn't get to see Kay yesterday as my favorite cab driver kept getting lucrative jobs and by the time he could get to me it would be quitting time or too late for me. So I kept working on my 73rd wedding anniversary DVD. If you want one contact me for a free DVD. I finally had to just quit because creating a DVD from snapshots and film in your archives is not like creating a movie from a script where everything is laid out for you to follow. In this case I selected music then selected either a still photo or some video made from our film record. The still photos had to be animated to hopefully increase the viewing interest and if that path is selected you might be able see that it could be never ending process because each time you watch it you think of improvements or different photos that would make it better. Or things are mistakes and have to be corrected. Like this time I thought I had finished and was making version 34 as the finished product but after making several copies I saw that the word anniversary had been misspelled in the scrolling credits. As this word is ahead of the music and I don't want to go through the couple minutes to scroll through I missed the misspelling. As it was up front and everyone would see the spelling error I had to go back and change it but now I have 5 copies of a perfectly good DVD of the project that I have to find a place for and eventually just throw them out. On the other hand there are other errors so they will all go. I finally just got to the point that what you see is what you get. At least the word anniversary is spelled right. I expected to take a week on the project but it has been a couple months I think and I will continue working on it until I think of something better to do. Some film and pictures I have not been able to find and I will insert them if I can find them. You see it never ends
