I took a media studies course using adobe. One of the assignments was doing a montage to the 50th anniversary of Motown with video and voice over. I used a program off of the cloud called adobe elements and it turned out pretty good.
I am just trying to learn video photography as well.
But much seems to be able to be done with little technology and some basic knowledge that would have taken a lot of money and big sets years ago.
I've never played around with Adobe Elements but it is supposed to be a powerful tool for photo/video editing. Years ago I used Photoshop to do some pic editing but now I just use GIMP which is free. It does all the same stuff but I don't like the GUI quite as much. Did I mention it was free? That is the best feature.
I guess the best way to get my feet wet would be to just do a slideshow kinda thing with the audio embedded in it. Did Adobe Elements allow you to combine the audio/video/images all together or did you use that for the video/pics and add the audio another way?
