Hi Mike
Glad you like it that was what I thought. I wanted to do some podcasts for our students and they are becoming quite a cult here- all my colleagues are thinking about trying. The thing I like is the ease of doing it !
Best wishes
Mary

Hi Mary,

That’s an absolutely brilliant idea. A really nice way of blending visuals with what would have otherwise be a straight audio podcast. I found in watching your clip I was much more engaged that I am with standard audio podcasts, where I tend to move on to other work and the discussion relegated to the background.

Thanks for sharing the idea, I might try that myself at some point.

Cheers,

Mike

I use MP3 voice files alongside the $30 version . You can get a good impression rather than direct links between individual images and voice- success does depend on order loaded and I load duplicate sets of images

Was quite pleased with this introduction to a student workshop

Looks a cool tool for promos etc – images + music – but it’d be great to have a good online ‘digital narrative’ type app that allows voice as well. I guess a voice over could be recorded and uploaded but it’s difficult to sync with images unless general. Also disappointing that the free version is limited to 30 secs but I guess we can’t have everything!

That’s great, Mike – it worked really well.
