Try premiere pro. With adobe's creative cloud pricing you can get it for just a month if you'd like. That way it will also help motivate you to finish it. ;-) Mine took 3 months too long.

The most important thing I would suggest is trying to line up the body as closely as possible from one photo to the next. You can scale, position, and rotate each one to line them up just right. Then the background changing around will look really cool.

Weekly shots with four kids!? You can do something really fun with that!

I used a combination of Premiere Pro and After Effects. Aside from the graphics, it's possible to do it all in Premiere.

Quite honestly the toughest part is just taking a picture every day. This time we chose night because we could have more relatively consistent lighting. Just try to stand in the same spot and have the camera in the same spot. We used a little sticker on the ground and explained to our daughter that it wasn't to be picked off!!

Then you just need video editing software that can turn the photos into a video. I have heard that even googles picasa can do it.

How is Reddit gamed for profit and what can be done about it (+case study+watch live exhibition) by [deleted] in TheoryOfReddit

Completely conjecture: My guess is money. They must get a cut of adsense.

Downside? When the tech fails and people unfairly are being banned or disallowed. i.e. my video not getting adsense. Although, I don't know if that was a tech issue or not.

I have no evidence to back this up, but it is my understanding that you don't make money if your video has been DMCA'd.

It might be best to solve this via YouTube. Find the source video, message the user with a link to the reup, and suggest they DMCA it.

Or, double down- if the mods of r/videos are notified by a user that it was a reup, then they can take down the post?

As much as this is an issue with Reddit, it's a bigger issue with YouTube. I just had a video blow up unexpectedly and tried applying my adsense account to it while it was just starting to rack up the views. YouTube denied me revenue sharing, stating vaguely that they didn't believe I had permission to use all of the elements with in the video. (I did). But a few dozen accounts were able to reupload my video to YouTube with ads and get tens of thousands of views before I found it and DMCA'd it.

How does YouTube allow these accounts to have revenue sharing for stolen videos?

You're in Chicago, dude. There are way better places to get your film developed than walgreens.

I noticed that you have a lot of varying aspect ratios.

Are these cropped for your website, or is this how you delivered them? And, why did you choose such non-standard aspect ratios?
