When you have hundreds of good and not-so-good photos, plus a handful of excellent shots, it’s easy just to start dropping everything in. Laying down the music first also enforced a certain amount of discipline. It was all copyrighted stuff, but I wasn’t planning on either selling DVDs, nor making them widely available it was something only for player families and the coaches. I culled long instrumental tracks out of a couple of long format rock songs, a hokily sentimental song for the State Championship section plus an instrumental from one of my favorite soundtracks, which ends on a triumphant note. That meant I needed five pieces of music. “Season Reflections” was my way of celebrating individual players, plus adding in some fun photos that had nothing to do with the actual games.

But the presence of fairly powerful, professional level tools sitting around in my lab was like a siren’s call. I primarily use Photoshop CS4 and After Effects CS4 for benchmarking CPUs and systems. Then Adobe delivered their CS4 suite of applications. I looked at several other entry-level applications. I flirted briefly with CyberLink’s PowerDirector, but the application felt like I was wearing a straightjacket. Although I’d been offered the chance to use the latest version of Pinnacle, Pinnacle 12, I demurred, feeling a little wary after last year’s experience. So this year, I’d resolved to do the same thing, but this time around, I’d do a real DVD, not just an AVI file.
I’d built a similar slideshow last year using Avid’s Pinnacle Studio Pro 11, but was left unsatisfied due to Pinnacle’s quirky user interface and a host of annoying bugs, including one which prevented me from burning a DVD that would be playable in standard consumer DVD players.
Really, all I wanted to do was create a slideshow of photos I’d taken during my oldest daughter’s final varsity high school volleyball season.
