Video of the main photos, (been trying a few videos from photos - much learning needed :LOL: )

Very nice set of candid street style captures, particularly liking #1 & #4.

"If that's your first effort at producing a video then I think you've done remarkably well matey. It's quite a long learning curve to produce interesting videos for others to view (trust me I know from the vid's I produce for YouTube) but the first one is the hardest"

You're very welcome. (y)

"I guess the next step for you is maybe producing YouTube street vid's, :) I must admit for me it's been very rewarding as well as interesting and has taken over a lot of my time with photography"

I have a little DJI Pocket 2 so it's a possible but I'm not a natural at walking around talking to myself! :oops: :$
 
Nice shots and a nice start to your video career...

One thing I've learned about photo videos is that even though you're dealing with static shots, a little movement works wonders.

The technique called 'The Ken Burns effect' essentially involves panning or zooming.

I think it can often be overdone, but it just makes your videos feel a little more alive.

iMovie actually defaults to that but I'm not sure if it is adjustable in any way in iMovie.
The problem I found in using it with many photos was that there is no way in controlling where it focuses on, consequently photos can lose their impact.
 
I don't use iMovie I'm afraid so can't advise there from personal experience.

But a quick google brings this up:
  1. In the iMovie app
    12c6a29169a46b541989c4ce40988398.png
    on your Mac, select a clip in the timeline that has a Ken Burns effect applied.
  2. To show the cropping controls, click the Cropping button.
    Cropping button in adjustments bar
  3. Do any of the following:
    • Modify the crop at the beginning of the clip: Select the Start frame, and then reposition and resize it until the beginning of the clip is framed the way you want.
    • Modify the crop at the end of the clip: Select the End frame, and then reposition and resize it until the end of the clip is framed the way you want.
    • Reverse the movement of the Ken Burns effect: Click the Swap Start and End Areas button to the right of the Ken Burns button.
    • Remove a Ken Burns effect: Click Fit.
  4. To apply the changes, click the Apply button
    23927538b657f36aed8ab058ecaf2395.png
    in the cropping controls.

But we use editors a lot at work and in every single case, they always add movement to stills. Videos can feel very flat without some movement.

I'm a natural at that! But I doubt it would make any sense to anyone. Half the time it makes no sense to myself :ROFLMAO:

Regardless, nice shots from Bedminster :) Pretty local to me but not somewhere I've taken any!

Thanks Lee, the area around East Street is always worth a visit. :)
