What editing program do you use? I have some footage of the queen Victoria I would like to add to a piece of music.

I recognise the piece you used from a film.

Hi Spike, I actually only used Windows Movie Maker to put together this video... the image editing was done in Paint Shop Pro, audio processing in Audacity, and video conversion in CinemaForge. All the other effects used are built into Movie Maker, available free from Microsoft's website. Look forward to seeing your footage also.

It's wonderful video and the ship is beautiful.

What is the melody?

[thefishingcat]

Hi, thanks for your comments. The melody is an orchestral arrangement of 'Clair de Lune' (Moonlight) from 'Suite bergamasque' by Claude Debussy - one of my favourite classical pieces of music. Somehow it just seemed to fit the images and sentiment of the night!

Had to remove the original audio track due to licensing issues, have replaced with another Debussy piece - 'Arabesque Number 1'.
