[CALUG] using inkscape for digital storytelling

[Phil Shapiro]

hi calug community,

     when i created this short youtube video tribute about my parents  
a couple of years ago, i used the appleworks drawing program on my  
mac. today i would use inkscape.

      i'm predicting that within a year (or less), youtube will allow  
you to upload an mp3 audio file -- in conjunction with a graphics file  
-- and youtube will stitch these together into a "video."

       this kind of thing is already possible via this experimental  
service -- which places an ugly overlay on your youtube video.

        youtube can also displays some pretty nice high-def these  
days. check out this short demo video created with inkscape and  
kdenlive.

        just curious, is there anyone in calug who has tried out  
kdenlive -- the video editing program.  i haven't looked at it yet,  
but i'm ready to switch my video editing from apple to linux.

             phil
