I was a boyhood fan of the Jim Thorpe story. The integration with flickr to import media is a plus for many of these tools. I think you may like JayCut- it offers a multitrack editor, so you can have 2 video tracks with effects/transitions better controlled. I'm not sure whether these tools are cut out for longer pieces-I think they are suitable for digital stories and short presentations. My efforts have all been shorties. For Miguel, the controlling of the syncing I believe is in setting the duration in seconds for the stills. Its not quite like dragging the end of a frame to extend a clip (JayCut may do this). And one might distinguish between a digital video editing tool and a slideshow/slideshow sync with audio, though you can certainly do them in video tools. MyPlick is a great tool- I think it had one of the best interfaces for syncing audio to slides. I have about 8 new tools in the wings to add to the 50+ ways site (which is now at 57).

For fun, I took one of my presentations--changing standards that I shared with educators last week in my district--and uploaded it as a series of images to Flickr (using Flickr Uploadr). Then, Jumpcut imported those and I recorded my audio using my Olympus WS-100, converted the WMA file with Switch to MP3, and uploaded that. I was hoping that I'd be able to sync the slides with the audio, or vice versa, but couldn't figure out how to do that. So, the slides played very quickly while the audio sped across. Is what I'm trying to do possible? In the meantime, I had so much fun recording the presentation, I'm trying out something Steve Dembo shared with me...MyPlick.com. If it's successful, I'll post the result on the web site. Otherwise, I may just throw the audio up on Edublogs.tv and let it go at that for now!

I wondered after watching your video if one technique might have been to bring in an image twice and use a fade or dissolve to move from either a wide shot to a close up of vice versa. Perhaps not as good but the ability to focus on specific parts of an image is an important part of effective storytelling. Think of it as developing the details of a narrative. We need to continue to speak about these concepts without tying them to specific platforms or software. Thanks for working towards this.
