I've never used the program 'Movie Edit Pro ' but I'm sure it's like any other program,
under the export (or save as) area, you will have a section or button that says "codec" or "compression" or something similar. In there you can choose different codecs. All i know for certain is that sound really adds a lot to the file size. You could change the codec for the sound as well to something smaller, (although i haven't played enough with sound codecs, i'm going to assume there's an mp3 codec or somesort that's handy and small )

I know Windows XP has a native program called "windows movie maker" it can make ".wmv" format, and it has preset's setup for different mediums, like dvd, web, or HD, stuff like that.

I found that divx codec works really quite well. along with quicktimes H.264. I also used the sorenson codec in the past, but it really doesn't compare to the H.264 codec ( but is still a solid codec.)

I'm not the most knowledgeable in this area, and I'm sure there's others that can share more light on the subject.

Sorry to jump on this thread so late but there are a number of other tools that perform the 'Morphing' effect...

The effect was more or less first seen in the Michael Jackson video 'Black or White' which effects specialists at the time used a proprietary engine based on the Kai's Power Tools set.... (Kai's Power Goo - Downloadable as standalone or Photoshop plug in's)

The effect became widely imitated and has been available as an add-on and in some cases, a standard effect in suites like Pinnacle, Adobe Premier/After Effects, and others... If i'm not mistaken, Alias even had a morphing engine in early versions of their 3D software....

Whatever software was used... it provides a very interesting way to add interest to still photos...

Tamlin... Faces of Stone... wow... great collection of photos and an excellent choice of music....

Very interesting piece.

Mike.
