I’ve myself used Animoto a bit for the last months or so, and since then I tend to use more and more the “star rating” in Lightroom (which itself seems to be under rated, e.g. by Scott Kelby himself ).
Basically I now have two “levels” of picks : 3-5 stars for printing (3 to 5 indicating the size I’m willing to go) and 1-2 for Animoto-like videos (1 or 2 lets me vary the size of the final video).
It’s especially usefull for e.g. family events where some pictures are not good enough to warrant a print, but are just perfect in a video.
OK. Hope it’s not too stupid a tip.
Regards,

hi guys!
thanks for another awesome podcast:) I found the actions-tip really useful and have it already set up. But, yes unfortunately there is one, when I open up for example an older psd file with all its different layers inside, i get a problem. It does the same like when I open an JPG file or RAW and that is quite annoying because i always have to rename and delete the by the script created layer! How can i fix that? For example, that the script is only applied on JPGs and RAWs ?

You do a really good job! Keep it up!
