My slideshow had very fitting music, but WMG and YouTube stripped it off because of copyright infringement. I used half of one of their songs, encoded in mono, and played through YouTube, but they consider that "distributing". I guess they think people won't buy it since they can hear it on YouTube.

Personally, all I think my soundtrack was good for was to keep their song in the public ear, which could only increase sales in the long run. Now I hope everyone everywhere stops playing all WMG copyrighted songs so that they are soon forgotten and perish quickly from the face of the earth.

I would tell you what the songs were, but I don't want to give WMG any free advertising.

  • I'm confused & angry that my soundtrack was removed. I can't believe the copyright law's intent is to prevent me from showing my slideshow w/ music I bought. I viewed many videos for ideas when picking songs, then I bought 2 CDs. I never considered trying to lift a song from YouTube because the quality is so bad. Then I posted my creation to inspire others. When you think about it, I'm giving WMG free advertising because if anyone likes the song, they'd have to buy their own copy like I did.

  • Sorry folks, the soundtrack was removed by WMG & YouTube for copyright infringement. Guess they thought my little tribute to Mom & Dad was hurting sales. Click on "More Info" for more info.

  • Really nice video, what program did you use, I like how you added still photos with live videos. The live videos that you used were they the old super 8 film, if so, how did you do that. Thanks

  • I use the Adobe Photoshop 4 & Premiere Elements 2 bundle - Photoshop to organize and edit the photos, and Premiere to edit the videos, assemble the slideshow, and create the final video file (and burn the DVD).

    The old movie footage was actually 16mm. My Dad used a service to transfer it to VHS (I think he took it to a local Drug Fair). I dubbed that to a DVD using my VCR and DVD recorder. Then I dropped the DVD into my computer, and imported it into Premiere.
