My Disney Home Theatre Intro

[Plantlady]

Dear Plantlady,

I have no idea how to use this, but I think my husband and my son could figure it out! If you are up to it, I would love the video and pdf that say:

Andersen Family


Thank you!

May I please request a "Sidnam Family" one? Thank you so much for your generosity in making these for us

Yeah your right it is very small like that isn't it. If its not too much trouble for you would you mind making one that says "Inglis Family Pictures" then?

thanks ever so much

Yep, I'll make these three, no problem

I also wrote out a tutorial. I just need to make it look better, then, I'll post it.

 

[Plantlady]

That was so quick thank you very much!
Does anyone know a good free program that I can use now to make my pics into videos with this as the intro?

If you have a PC with windows XP, the windows movie maker should be preloaded already. It is very user friendly. (It is also in Vista)

If you have a mac, that should have imovie. Also user friendly, I've been told. But, then, I think the file I made might not work on a mac.

I used windows movie maker for many, many years, and made good quality slide shows.

 

[Plantlady]

I THINK I almost have it down! My problem seems to be that the word "pictures" seems to "stick" and jump up to meet the other words..............am I making sense??

This one is just my "test" one..............if I can get rid of the "sticking" I will be more than happy to help!

Thank you to the OP and to Plantlady!!! Letting me know that is wasn't me with the sound and that you finish in movie maker! Well! That pushed me over the hurdles!

Jazmine8, thank you for the Morpheus tip!! I am going to check it out!

Did you run it through movie maker? My videos always stick, until they get compressed. That would be my first step in trying to fix it. Also, run it when you have nothing else happening on your computer, so that all of the memory is devoted to it. (for example, select "publish movie" when you're not checking email, or on the disboards. )

This is for using the program blender, which can be downloaded for free.

You need three files to work with, which I put in my 4shared account. It is a custom_disney_Intro.zip. Unzip the file.

• 
  Open blender

• Click File>open

• Click on your file that ends in .blend (It will have a
  yellow box next to it, indicating it's what will work)

• Click Open (in upper right corner)

• Click on the words "Walt Disney"

• Hit tab This will put you in edit mode

• Backspace and type your family name

• Click f9.

• In the bottom area, third section over, is "fonts"

• Click on "load"

• select the .ttf font.

• Side note: You can move
  around these windows by using the "P" for Parent
  directory and the little up and down arrows below the
  P.

• Your font will have a blue box next to it. Click
  it, then click "select font"

• Now in the top row of options, click Render>Render
  Animation

The next part takes about 15-30 minutes on my
computer. If your
computer is running slow, you might want to do it
overnight.

There are 375 frames. One of your blender
windows is a DOS window. It will tell you which frame
it's working on. The program never tells you when it's
done.. but that window will tell you it did 375

• Then. I open up windows movie maker.

• I import the video file, which is in the c://tmp
  folder

• I drag it down to video, then drag the wav file down
  to the audio section.

• I test it.

• Then, I click on "File>publish movie,"
  selecting play back on this computer.

That is it. Let me know if you want more specific details (for example, windows movie maker is so easy, I wasn't super specific there). It took me hours to find all of the different little things in blender, and I'm more than happy to save some time for others.

If you want a .jpg file. When you are done rendering
select "File>Save" image and type in the name you want. You can also just put it on frame number 375, and select "Render>Render Current Frame" then go to "File>Save" image. That way you don't have to wait for the entire process, if you are only wanting the image.

Good Luck!

I'm glad you figured it out! Once you know what to do, it's quite simple.. the program just isn't intuitive at all, and it is so hard figuring out what needs to be done next.

I think I've filled everyones request as of now.

 

[PlutoGirl1117]

I only figured it out because of you! Those directions are perfect!

I will only do any if you are overwhelmed! I do NOT want to step on your toes, but I'm more than willing to help you out!

Fran............who now can't wait to do her Dec trip DVD!

I can help with requests too once I get this down pat. I'm at work now and can't wait to get home to starting working on this. So to everyone who has contributed to this here's a big THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Ok now I want to see some great family videos...........I'll share too!

I'm just waiting on my Photopass cd to come and add those pics along with ones my brother and I took on our 2 week Disney vacation.

May I have one for the Larson family?

Also, could I have the basic one. I think I could do overlays when I create video to change the name myself.

TIA

This is the best intro to Disney I have seen.

I caregive to an Alzheimer parent and my creativity is taking a back seat for now.
