I did this video in 2001 using a still-in-development version of VideoWave. It automatically sensed the timing of the music and selected clips to play in time with it. Notice how it changes as the music gets faster and slower.

Oh, and that was the year we had a ladybug infestation, thus the film of ladybugs..

OpenProj

Today’s SourceForge newsletter mentioned a project I hadn’t heard of before, OpenProj.

A quick trip to the OpenProj SourceForge page later, and I realized another big Microsoft app had an open source replacement: MS Project.

it’s written in Java, and there is no Mac-specific distribution, so I grabbed the OS-independent zip and just double-clicked the .jar file, which worked fine. Apparently it can read and write MS Project files too.

I didn’t do much more than create a document and save it, but I’m hoping this will be a useful tool for free software projects all over.
