There has got to be an easier way to do these. This was 10 hours worth of work...

Hi Stephen...

Nice animation of the flare. I know what you mean by the amount of work it takes to assemble the video...an intensive process.

Thanks,
Brian

Cool - the music scared the crap out of me - I was in a quiet room and the volume was up full! Thanks for the labour of love!

Good one mate. I crop mine in Picasa using a Setsquare to get about the same configuration in each pic then run the make video function. Rough and ready but a result nonetheless.And they don't look as good as yours.I await Apollos tute
