Many of the pictures needed to be "perked up" with either Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop. Just some color correction and sharpening. The first one seemed very slow, but that might be because it was the first one I watched.</p> </blockquote> <p><strong>THANKS ART &amp; CHRIS FOR YOUR COMMENTS!!</strong></p> <p>Chris, you and Art are both correct about the red script font at end of Reno video, not to justify leaving it in there, but it was 6am and I was tried lol... and I said to myself "Oh well, no one is going to read the credits anyway! That was just tired talking. Silly, won't say that again! Thanks."</p> <p>Believe it or not, all those pics taken in the Reno video with the exception of the blk &amp; wh ones were taken with my cell phone!! We were down from Tahoe in Reno buying a car, and I had no video cam or camera of any kind with me to take pics of these great views from 25 floors up in Harrah's of Reno, so, I took out my trusty Nokia cell phone lol!! You are absolutely right, I should have taken them into photoshop to perk them up! I love hearing about all these things through someone else's eyes.</p> <p><strong>The Tahoe video (hang on to your seat) were all taken with a very antique digital camera, probably one of the first made. It is a floppy disk camera!! "Sony Digital Mavica 2X" it takes incredible pictures</strong>. Yes, looking back each frame was to slow, it was one of my first videos trying to learn Pinnacle. I like that you thought of Hallmark though, and besides the snowy street shot from the 18th floor of Harrah's I liked the Heaven Created by GOD frame the most too.</p> <p>Not wanting to sound totally green, tell me about Ken Burns, and his effects. Please.</p> <p><strong>Thanks again guys for your replies!!
