I didnt get my trivia slides yet but....
does the trivia play BEFORE the trailers start?
- 10 minutes of trivia slides, movie stills, etc. (I don't have mine either, just using placeholders for testing.)
- "Coming Attractions" video clip (just some lame moving text I made in Windows Movie Maker.)
- 2 Random trailers pulled from a local directory.
- "Feature Presentation" video clip (ditto the Windows Movie Maker lameness.)
My only request (and maybe this is something a user could easily edit in the script?) would be to have a smaller increment available for trivia slides; say 5 minutes. If we launch the script once everyone has snacks and is settled, 10 minutes seems a little long for trivia. 5 minutes at 10 seconds per slide is 15 questions/answers minus a few if you have movie stills or other slides. That seems like plenty if you're not just killing time waiting on someone (even half that number at 20 seconds per slide would be plenty IMO.)
What we really need are some talented video editors to step up and make some decent intros to go before the trailer section and the feature presentation
