Nat,
That was the original way I tried to do it several years ago and the quality was a disaster. Because of the self-quarantine, I started digitizing slides (Using a Wolverine product) and then movies. I've been very happy. The digitizer lets me adjust the frame, zoom in a bit, etc. It takes a photo of each frame and then saves the frames in an mp4 format. Then, I can do additional editing in VideoPad. Also, Wolverine's customer service was wonderful. I had a problem with the slide digitizer and they immediately shipped me a new one with a postage paid slip to return the other one. Do you know if it is possible to tag people in the video like I can with Adobe Bridge? That would make searching my 89 clips much easier. Otherwise, I'll go through each one and ID the people and places and build video clips to share with the children of my parent's friends. If you are willing to wait a while, I could sell you mine.
