(6) Transitions and effects at your disposal Make use of that on every photo if you don’t want your viewers to see a static & boring photo slideshow. In Adobe Premiere Elements 8, you have the keyframes to manually control the scale, position, and also the opacity in the frames. For example, in one of the photo, I picked the flower first as the first focus point and then zoom out to the couples. Try to find the right angle and direction first by looking at the photo and find out the focus points.

Make the slideshow more interesting by doing different panning and zooming. (5) Start importing the photos and do the slideshow on Premiere Elements 8.

pixels outside of the Adobe Premiere Elements 8.Īdobe Lightroom 3 is recommended because it can do batch exporting easily, without tampering the original files but feel free to resize it with other photo editing/resizing software. After searching through the net and forums, I found from an Adobe forum that the image is best to be resized to 1000 x.

I was shocked for a couple of days because when I tried to do the slideshow, the image quality suffered too much, especially when I start doing the pan and zoom on some photos. Then I started imagining in the head whether this music would match with the photos. I listened and picked a few music that I think will suit the slideshow well. You need to pick the right music as it will affect the emotion of the viewers. (3) Pick the right musicĬhoosing the right music is not easy either. I’m sure some of you here might not agree with the post processing I took on some photos, which is fine by me. Most photos may look much better after you do some tweaks to them. This one (supposed to :)) highlight the flower’s texture and color:Īgain, this is still my first time doing digital post-processing so I might go a bit too far there but you get the idea. Other photos have their mood changed after the touch ups: This photo was shot 3 years ago and I wanted the video to show a flashback of their relationships from 2007 until today so I made all the past photos look old (with the help of Adobe Premiere Elements 8 Old Film effect later on) On each photo, you might want to think about what you want to highlight in the photo and what sort of mood you want to set the photo to. I used Adobe Lightroom 3 to edit the photos one by one (and using some presets available on the internet). Try to think about what sort of story you want to tell on the video and this should be included in your photo selections. I selected about 5o-ish photos out of 230 photos that my friend gave me. You need to filter the good photos out from the bad.

With digital camera nowadays, photographers tend to shoot as many as they can and select the good ones later.

After a whole week of work (about 4 hours a day) choosing the right photos, doing some post processing, and putting all the photos together, I got a lot of good feedback about it today on his wedding reception.
