AW:Maddie's 1st year slideshow

jenhum · July 2009

I worked on it all weekend, and here's what I came up with! Just a warning, it's 7.5 minutes long- which is awesome considering I edited it down from 15 minutes, lol. I think I'm probably the only one who wants to watch a 15 minute slideshow of Maddie.

For others that did slideshows, how did you show them? I think I'll probably just hook a laptop up to a tv.

Slideshow

So cute! I watched it all (and totally teared up....I'm in trouble when Holly's 1 yr rolls around! I'll be a total mess!)

You did a great job! And I was reminded--I totally had Maddie's sunglasses to give back to you on Saturday, but forgot. Sorry about that!

aww, that's so sweet. i teared up too. <sniff> how are they almost a year? Crying

That was WONDERFUL - great job!!! I especially love the random videos. Maddie in the duck tub kicking had me laughing out loud. She's just such a doll. I loved seeing her grow throughout the slideshow!

Can't believe she's almost 1 already!

Very cute! I'm impressed that you got it down to only 7.5 min. Ours was 27 mins long -- we left it running and people could watch as much or little of it as they wanted. I would have had such a hard time only doing 7.5 min!

Very sweet! Good job, it was adorable!

JENHUM!!! If my DH weren't sitting right here, I would be crying like a baby! I loved your video! And by the way, I would have watched the 15 minute version.

First of all, I can't believe Maddie is going to be 1. I remember last year all the "talk" about you going to the hospital on 8/08/08. Secondly, Maddie is such a cute little girl. Her pictures and videos are adorable. You have one sweet little girl.

Lastly, You know I love the fact your threw a Michael Buble song in there!

Looks great! I would love to do something like that but don't think I'll have the time. Sad

I didn't know Shutterfly had video - I need to check that out. I have 5 minutes here and there, maybe I can put something together. Can't believe our babies are turning 1!!!

Thank you to everyone! I tear up every time I watch it, lol. I'm glad I found a program that could incorporate her videos (hooray for my Flip!) b/c I think those show her personality so well. It actually didn't take as long as I expected- probably 4-5 hours, but the last hour or two was just me nit-picking stuff.

That was super precious!! Great job!

slhall730 · July 2009

Aw that was perfect!

jenn&tim05 · July 2009

Great job! I loved it!

What website do you reccommend? I am doing a photo book to have guests write notes to AT etc but I also want a slideshow just as background.

Also where to find music...we dont have IPOD's....I know old school but Im not sure if there is any other way to get music on the computer these days. Any help or tips you an give would be great! Thanks!

I used Windows Movie Maker and it was so simple. Someone on the 6-12 board suggested it and I looked and realized it was already on my computer. I think if your Windows is updated, it should be installed.

I used DH's Ipod for her music, but then I had to transfer it to mp3's for the program to recognize it, so it may actually be easier to not go through Itunes. I'm not sure where you buy mp3's online, but I'm sure it's easy. GL! I had fun making it.

No problem, we haven't needed them anyway! You can bring them Tuesday night if you remember!

So sweet, I quickly teared up. ?Loved the crying in the bumbo and about the snow.?

akspriss · July 2009

great job jenny!! I cant believe shes already turning one!! Jack was sitting in my lap smiling or laughing the entire time!

becki777 · July 2009

That came out great! I love the last video of her with the pigtails, it shows such a personality! I can't believe she's a year old already!

AngelPack · July 2009

Love it! Best I have seen! I love the videos, I want to do one just like this. Great job!

MrsJones2005 · July 2009

Too cute!! If it makes you feel any better the girls' first year video is 30 minutes long, and we watch it ALL the time. The girls will ask to watch the movie mommy made when kathryn and kimberly were babies. They will actually sit down and watch the ENTIRE thing! If they happen to hear one of the songs I used somewhere else, they can tell you what part of the video the song plays in. I bet Maddie will enjoy her video too!
