    No apology needed, now that you got it to work because you were doing it wrong lol

  2. sauceykat

    well yeah, if you’re just using that part and not replacing the “watch” bit. Anyway, so now you know. You’re welcome, Captain Passive Agressive.

  3. justgivemethetruth

    by the way, the just the ­v=Qzy5LvOPQLo does work.

  4. justgivemethetruth

    Trust me, your link does not work, it goes back to YouTube home.
    Neither does your advice.
    And your attitude is really defensive, not to mention your insults.
    Don’t waste people’s time talking about things you don’t really know firsthand work, and then when called on it, don’t waste more of their time please. Since the link does not work, mayhe you should post the title or the author. You’re not watching it on You-Tube are you?

    Ah, so you admit it in your first sentence, you’re trying to call me out but just can’t actually be direct and say it. The link works if you put the normal youtube bit before it. Just replace the watch portion above this video with the bit that i posted and it will work. If you aren’t capable of making something that basic work, perhaps you’re better off getting somebody else to make slideshow videos for you.

  6. justgivemethetruth

    Thanks for the link but it does not work for me for some reason. Are you gettting personal because you are having trouble backing up what you said?

    To the best of my knowledge iMovie works for this so I believed I was helping whoever was interested. If you have some information I did not have I was willing to listen … still listening. I don’t see anything here that could not have been done in iMovie. Not sure about iPhoto.

  7. sauceykat

    So, were you really interested in doing it or was this some sort of passive aggressive attempt to call me out? Assuming it’s the former, here’s a YT tutorial video: watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Qzy5LvOPQLo

  8. justgivemethetruth

    I sort of thought that. You cannot really do this in iPhoto as far as I know.
    You have to do the workaround of playing the slideshow and doing a screen capture which has some problems with inadequate bandwidth, jittering, pausing, etc if you have a large screen. If you want to do this effect correctly it is not easy but you can set it up in iMovie. You get more splashy effects with iPhoto but it takes a lot to grad that from the screen while running it.

  9. sauceykat

    Honestly, I never use that feature but I found it by googling “iPhoto ken burns effect movie” or something similar. THere are a bunch of tutorials out there.

  10. justgivemethetruth

    I don’t see any option to export a slideshow? Can you tell me where it is?

  11. sauceykat

    Create a slideshow in iMovie with the Ken Burns effect selected, then export to your desktop (or wherever) as a quicktime movie.

  12. justgivemethetruth

    Are you saying you can output the slideshow from iPhoto to movie format?  I did not know that … how?

  13. sauceykat

    Correction of your correction: slideshows with Ken Burns effect are done in iPhoto, not iMovie.

  14. justgivemethetruth

    Correction: iPhoto is for Pictures, iMovie is what probably did that with its Ken Burns effect.

    The tiers are to show that there can be variations of height with a Square Foot Garden. Extra soil lends itself to certain crops like carrots for example. More growing medium also holds more water. Shade is minimal depending on orientation and in some areas can be used to your advantage to avoid scorching sun at the height of the heat of summer. Tiers don’t have to be just in the corner, they can also be in the center of the bed. Be creative!

  16. justgivemethetruth

    I really do not get the idea of tiering your raised bed garden? Can you explain the reason for that. It seems to me like you have a lot of soil that is hidden way down in under those tiers that you cannot see or make use of or access, and also create shaded area that is not able to be utilized? Is there something I am not seeing or does it just look cool!? ;-)

    It’s beautiful. But I don’t have the money to build all of that…2k a month. But maybe I can do something similar, yeah? It’s inspirational.

    the best potager garden video…very inspiring and if my backyard looks half as beautiful as your vegetable garden I will be very, very happy :)
