| In this exercise we'll create a
new movie from a still image, several video clips from the internet and
an MP3 audio file. We're going to take some extra steps to keep things
clear. We've used Fx Joiner and Splitter for this but you can use any
combination of software that can create a movie from still images,
splice movies together and add audio to a silent movie.

Create a folder called My Movies under
the My Documents folder and download these files into your new folder:
011030-D-6570C-002.jpg
011030-D-6570C-003.mpg
011031-D-6570C-005.mpg
011031-D-6570C-007.mpg
011031-D-6570C-009.mpg
AirForce.mp3
Create a movie called title.avi from the JPG file. Setting the frame
rate at 1 will leave the image on the screen for a second and 30 will
just flash it. Experiment a bit to see how it works. You can create a
file, play it then save again over-writing the original and play again
to see the results of your change.

Now add the title and the MPEG files you
downloaded, then save as a new MPEG movie. Try different setting to see
how they change the output.

To add an audio track to your new movie select the movie you just
created and the MP3 file you downloaded and save as
NewMovieWithSound.avi.

Now let's convert the AVI to MPEG. You'll note that the MPEG file is
much smaller than the AVI.

Here are the results:
NewMovie.MPG 5.2 MB
NewMovieWithSound.MPG 5.34
MB
