I make a lot of videos that incorporate the use of photos. Scanning the photos seems to be the most time-consuming part of making videos. Right now I use a Canon scanner that allows me to scan about 3 photos at a time with "Multi-Scan".

The Canon scanner has saved me a lot of time, but it seems like there should be a product out there that will allow stacks of photos to be scanned through while you do other things. HomeVideo 101 has an interesting article about converting an Epson scanner to scan 25 photos at a time.

I've heard rumors of some commercial scanners that can scan multiple photos. Has anyone out there heard of anything else for consumers? I'd certainly buy one if they offered it.

Welcome to Niftyvid. The purpose of Niftyvid is to help everyday folks make better videos for their friends and families.

Making a good video doesn't come naturally. Our inclination is to use our video camera in ways that make our videos virtually unwatchable.

Changing just a few ways that we use our video camera can make a HUGE difference in how good our videos turn out.
