Iam doing a series of kinematic rotations that involve 60 images per animation and it seems that the correct way to import these is as Albums within a Project. This way each view of 60 comes in as an album and all of these fall within a Project.

I have accidentally imported items in the wrong way and see that I have a whole series of these each showing up individually as its own Project. I'd like to turn each of these into an Album and put them all under one project.


Can I please ask you to elaborate on the depending on how you've structured your library part? Also, can you point me to where I find the duplicate project structure feature and when or why you think this would be useful?


On another note, it is possible to select the images across many projects and make an album of those images. Then they would all be together and you could use manual sort to figure out the correct sequence.


Once they're all in the right albums you can simply drag the pictures from the individual projects to the new main project that contains the albums. This will transfer them since an image can only be in ONE project. Your albums will stay the same but now all the photos will also be in this main project.


Anderson has stated that he wanted to take the band in a different direction from the progressive folk rock of the previous albums. To that end, A is an album thick with synthesizer and electric violin while the various acoustic instruments to which fans had become accustomed were scarce to be found. The image of the band shifted dramatically as well, with the Robin Hood of Songs From the Wood being switched out for white jumpsuits and an album cover that looks vaguely like a still from Lost in Space. Make a shift like that, and fans will object. Oh, and some of the songs are terrible.


Thanks for posting this. I was looking for a copy of the Album Project II and came across your blog. Was surprised to see the video. I am the satin jacket guy in the Edge. Obviously wardrobe was an afterthought for that gig!

Radio station compilation albums were a great way to get your music heard in the 70s/early 80s.


The Beatles received favourable reviews from the majority of music critics; detractors found its satirical songs unimportant and apolitical amid the turbulent political and social climate of 1968. Nonetheless, The Beatles topped record charts in Britain and the United States. Although no singles were issued in either territory, the songs Hey Jude and Revolution originated from the same recording sessions and were issued on a single in August 1968.


The ensuing hunt for such clues to a supposed cover-up that the Beatles presumably wanted to suppress (and simultaneously publicize) has become a classic example of the development and persistence of urban legends.


The White Album was particularly notable for blocking the Beatles follow-up album, Yellow Submarine, which was released on 13 January 1969 in the U.S. and on 17 January 1969 in the U.K. It peaked at #3 on 8 February 1969, the same week The White Album was dominating the second position on the charts.


By 1968 in the U.S., mono records were already being phased out, the U.S. release of The Beatles was the first Beatles LP to be issued in the U.S. in stereo only. The mono version of The Beatles was not made available worldwide on 9 September 2009, as part of the Beatles in Mono CD boxed set released by Apple Records. A reissue of the original mono LP was released worldwide in September 2014.


It was their first studio album in almost eighteen months, and coming after the blockbuster success of Sgt. Pepper, expectations were high at the time of the release of The Beatles. The album debuted at number one in the U.K. on 1 December 1968, becoming their third album to do so, after Help! and Revolver.


The White Album was particularly notable for blocking the Beatles follow-up album, Yellow Submarine, which was released on 13 January 1969 in the U.S. and on 17 January 1969 in the U.K. It peaked at #3 on 8 February 1969, the same week The White Album was dominating the second position on the charts. It then spent another four weeks in the Top 10 before dropping down the charts. In all, The Beatles spent 24 weeks on the U.K. charts, a far cry compared to the over 200 weeks spent by Sgt. Pepper.


So, I was talking to the indie rock fanatics at school recently about good live shows, and I namedropped a few that I knew they'd recognize to bring them into my world of general agreement. Then, to finally win them over, I said, "I've heard that the Mates of State are great live." Bam! I'd dropped a big one on them: an obscure, somewhat local band they'd never heard of, that they were sure to love, and that they would be able to thank me for after hearing them. Smooth move. "Really? Do they play around here? What are they like?" The obligatory follow-up questions. My response: "Well, they're a two-person line-up... organ and drums, a girl and a boy..."


And just as quickly as I'd won them over, they turned against me. "That sounds like Quasi. Quasi rip-offs!" I pleaded with them to hear my side: "No, not at all, really! They're nothing like each other!" But to no avail. They walked away laughing, leaving the phrase, "They can't be as good as Quasi!" echoing repeatedly in my ears. I was hurt. Permanently scarred. Traumatized.


So I'd like to think of this as my therapy review. Sure, the Mates of State have a similar line-up to Quasi. And yeah, they make irresistible pop music, too. But that's it! The similarities end there! So now that you've read this far, why not continue, even if it's only out of pity? The healing can now begin.


Mates of State are a pop duo based in San Francisco. They are half-male and half-female. Their halves are named Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel. And as luck would have it, they are, shall we say, romantically entangled. Gardner rhapsodizes vocally (as well as through her Yamaha organ) while Hammel simultaneously shares vocal duties and masterfully handles the many tempo changes on his drumsticks. Meanwhile, the mood of the record, whether it be bittersweet or rapturous, is solely melodically based, with carefree and nonsensical lyrics accompanying.


The Mates of State's debut album, My Solo Project, has two key elements. The first is the gleeful, sincere enthusiasm. There's more of it here, in true and genuine form, than could be located on any co-ed high school cheerleading squad. The duo's vocals explode harmonizing into the air, and though these two aren't the best singers in the world, they want to sing and they're gonna sing, damnit! The most sincere moment here comes with "Everyone Needs an Editor," when they each trade off singing the lines, "I color the sky with you/ I let you choose the blue." You can hear their eyes meet in a gaze of gory love. At times, Gardner and Hammel almost seem like they're trying to surpass each other and miss the note, and these moments stand out-- a few even border on cringe-worthy. But when the awkwardness passes, we forgive the smitten couple anyway because they're so damn cute.


The second key element is the song structure. Each song has multiple parts, and they're each virtually always in a different key, with a different hook, in a different tempo. These hooks could easily have stood on their own, but that didn't satisfy these Mates. Instead, they chose to pack each song with the punch of two or three, playing with your expectations. On "What I Could Stand For," they sing the lovely refrain of "And I won't pass you by" the traditional four times, until the music comes to a dead halt and briefly pauses before they reiterate for emphasis and move on to the third part of the song.


This 12-track album basically only has 10 songs. The first and last are total throwaways. Thankfully, they're at the beginning and end, and don't disturb the flow. But it makes one wonder why they're included. The first track is a 50 second cover of... the "Cheers" theme song, sung by a relative of Gardner's on a boombox when she was in her early teens. Badly, I might add. It's the same basic deal with the closer; trust me, you don't need to hear about it. But aside from these easily avoided blunders, My Solo Project manages to remain consistently high in quality within its tight 34-minute length. It's unique, fun, and worth your time. And it certainly sounds nothing like Qu--

During the Find Your Voice class, I was inspired to document some of my favorite summer stories in one album. I have my childhood scrapbooked in chunky 1212 albums thanks to my mom and her Creative Memories business.


One way I collected stories for this album was going through old social media posts. I originally posted this photo on Facebook so I took the caption and printed it out for my journaling on this page. I would rather have my stories documented this way than having them only on social media.


There are infinite ways to document your child's first year of life, but one thing is for sure. You're going to take countless photos of that little one in a very short period of time. Here's a bit of insight into why I decided to document both of our sons' first years using Project Life.
