YouTube Video Slide Show

I was playing around with the idea of creating video slide shows that could be displayed on our blog, web site and YouTube, but couldn't find the software necessary to work with my desktop computer. After researching the Internet, I discovered that my operating system (Windows 2000 Professional) simply wasn't designed for such things. But ... my laptop, running Windows XP was, and it even came packaged with Windows Movie Maker.

Movie Maker was pretty easy to learn and create these videos. You are able to import pictures, videos and music from your computer, camera or other digital device such as your cellphone. You are even able to save the finished product to a CD or computer or even send it via email or to a portable digital device; the options are many!

I experimented by importing some pictures already on my computer. I also designed a graphic to be displayed on the front and back of my video. Next, it was time to sign up for YouTube, create an account and upload the video. I accomplished these without difficulty and uploaded my first video. I even created another video for people interested in buying our home.

To keep up with any future videos or slide shows I create for YouTube, you can visit RVJunkie on YouTube.

Our other web sites

Did you know we have other web sites besides our blog or even our main site at RVJunkie.com? If not, you may be interested in our Adventure Across America (with our camping trailer and Harley Davidson motorcycle), our photo albums, John's Russian Typhoon R/C site or even John's L.A. Fireboat #2 R/C site.

Our Adventure Across America site was created when John retired. We took a 4 month trip across the United States shortly thereafter. We visited seventy-two (72) different places and took over 8,000 pictures along the way; documenting the entire trip with photographs and narrative.

John's Russian Typhoon R/C site and his L.A. Fireboat #2 R/C site are both loaded with "How-To" information for building these radio controlled models. People from all over the world have visited these sites and signed his guestbook with their comments. Check them out for yourself if you are interested in R/C models.

Our photo album site has albums of our digital photography while traveling in our motorhome. So far, these albums are of trips we have taken prior to going full time in the RV.

Changin' Gears

We are always striving to enhance your experience on RVJunkie.com by adding new information / links. Recently, I discovered a web site dedicated to "Trading City Lights for the RV Lifestyle." The site, Changin' Gears, is a wealth of information for the RV enthusiast, and we have included several of their links on our site for your convenience. You can also visit their site directly.

The author of Changin' Gears, Charlie Kerekes, also has another site, Flying Sam Photo; a Digital Photo Guide well worth visiting if you use a digital camera during your travels. There is an abundance of information for the novice and professional alike.
