Interesting. Good use of technique,
I think they NAILED IT! :)
I took John Greengo's class on the Z6/Z7 several months ago. I had a question about extracting some stills from a video I had shot. I had been north of Seattle and shot video of several thousand snowgeese taking flight (an eagle had spooked them.) I had been so excited that I forgot to press the shutter release and grab some stills. He confirmed that I could reload the video file back into my camera and still get some stills. I would have never learned that tip from anyone else. I had sent him a personal email and he responded promptly. I have taken a number of his in-person classes as well. The guy has a gift and can explain complex issues where anyone can understand.

I recommend Creative Live, the online learning site. John Greengo offers a fantastic Fundamentals of Photography course there that does a deep dive into the basics. John breaks everything down into clear, understandable concepts and great visuals.
Not only does John Greengo walk on water, he tows the ship to shore while doing so! His Creative Live courses do have a fee, but not very much, and what you learn is amazing.

Personally I would do it with PowerPoint so I could add titles, music and timing. Then generate a show that would play on any Windows pc even if it didn't have PP installed on it.
I agree. I have done this often and it's fairly easy to do and the results are very nice. Many are unaware of all the things PowerPoint can do.

One nice thing about CreativeLive is their series on specific camera models.
Here's a good one for $14.00. I wonder how similar the controls are on the other Z cameras.

I have taken a number of John Greengo's classes, live and online. He is amazing! The best photography teacher I have ever found!
Here are a few shots from the Tulip fields near Mt. Vernon, WA. These were shot on April 22. They are right at, and almost past their peak.

I use Strathmore card stock and print 4x6 lustre prints at Costco. It works great and looks very professional. I purchase the white classic emboss (100 cards and 100 envelopes): 105-682. You get from purchase through Amazon.

WOW. They go to any extent.
Any info on how the code in the EXIF gets executed?
That will take you down a bunch of rabbit holes.
Here is one:

This was shared by a techie friend and I thought it might be of interest to my forum fellows.
Image meta data, like jpegs, could contain malware:

Dave, have sent you an email. Ken
I think he accidentally bit into a green persimmon! :)

Not to mention that there is a lunar eclipse tonight as well.
See paragraph two (above.)
Supermoon alert: Share your view tonight.
Often called the "flower moon," the May full moon is nearly upon us. Earth's nearest neighbor will reach the full stage early May 26, meaning it will appear full both Tuesday and Wednesday nights. The moon's closest monthly approach to Earth happens at the same time, making the flower moon a supermoon, as well.
For early risers, there's another astronomical treat in store: This year's only total lunar eclipse happens in the hours before sunrise May 26. When Earth's shadow begins to cover it, Luna often takes on a reddish tint, leading to the name "blood moon" for those rare times when a lunar eclipse aligns with a full moon.
So step outside, take a video or photo, and post it in the comments to share the view with your neighbors.
Is there any truth to the rumor that Lorena Bobbit is their spokesperson? :)
