Adobe Premiere Express

Here’s another free web application…cool!

“Adobe Premiere Express” is a free to use web service, integrated within the Photobucket (also free) image repository service. Once you have signed up for a free (or premium) account with Photobucket, Inc., you will need to create an album to house your uploaded images. Assuming these steps have been performed, you may now make a “movie”. Visit my site to see a sample movie in action.

Select the album of mages you plan to include within your presentation. Then, in the upper menu bar, select “create remix”. The process is very easy to use, so just follow the clearly stated instructions. In the left margin you will see all of the images within your album which you may select from to include – grab any image with your mouse and drag-and-drop it into an outlined position (the sequence) for it to be displayed. Repeat these steps until you have included all the images you intend to use, completing a chain of pictures.

Each image is, by default, assigned a 3-second display; to change this, simply click on an image (in the chain of images) to select it, and adjust its slider to represent a desired period of time. You must do this for each image individually, though the times you assign may vary in length.

Other options include adding text and/or image frames. Anyway, the last step is to apply transitions between the images to blend from one to another. Again, an appropriate area is represented for different types of transitions (loctaed in the left margin) to be dragged and dropped in between the images. If you are not sure what each transition type looks like, then you will have to experiment by creating a remix and clicking on the “Preview” button (seen at bottom).

When everything is the way you’d like it to be, click on “Publish”. After the remix has compiled, you may go back to the album and copy its HTML code to paste into your web page. And there you have it.
