recording audio while viewing photos and associating the two files?
ok, the subj is a bit confusing. I have salvaged a bunch of really old
photos recently and scanned them as well. I have two very elderly relatives left who can identify the pictures (like 15 shoe boxes worth) and i have begun to see that many of the pictures have interesting stories to go along with them, the problem is organization of all this information. I would like to find some software that can record audio and either append the audio to the photos (is that even possible?) or say record audio and (automatically) save the audio file as the same name as the photo file like Photo_Alexandria_1923.tif and Photo_Alexandria_1923.mp3 Is there any software out there like what i have described? or any suggestions (other than doing it manually, which i will do if i must but prefer not to). Any help would really be appreciated! Cheers -Gaiko |

There are two approaches. One approach is to use presentation software like PowerPoint and associate an audio file with each picture, The viewer can then pace himself through viewing the pictures or you can automate the show by putting each picture up for a fixed or variable amount of time. A completely different approach is to turn the pictures into a video. Using a program like Premiere Elements you can create a video that places the pictures and audio files along a time line that runs at a fixed rate like a documentary program on TV. |

While recording video of your relative describing the picture, pan over to the picture itself. This is your 'reference shot'; merely a placeholder to ID the photo in your video. In post-production--using any good video editing software--replace the reference shot of the photo with the scanned image. You'll likely find shots of your relatives, reacting to the photos (and the memories) as they tell the stories, are at least as interesting as the photos themselves. Brilliant! You could put prominent numbers/IDs on the backs so that you can tell from the video which picture they are looking at. That way you won't have to continuously bug them to show which pix they are viewing. And you can use just the audio track (separately, cued to the images), or the video as-is. |

One other suggestion, take the extra few seconds to use a plug-in microphone instead of the one on the camera. Just clip it to grandma's collar. This discussion reminded me of a old VHS tape we have of a deceased relative watching a slide show and 8mm home movies. It's awfully hard to hear what she is saying. |

Not surprised, considering she was deceased. |

Actually there is a bunch of programs that can do that. One of them that is:

The general suggestion that I have seen is to always (at least for checking), use headphones plugged into the camera. It is amazing how many people have taped interviews with grandpa, gotten grandma to talk about her childhood etc and when they play back the tape, the fan is running in the background, the pots and pans in the kitchen are being rattled, the kids talking off to the side cover her comments etc. One of the best investments in getting a decent video/audio recording is the headphones to make sure you are getting what you think you are getting. mikey |
