There is an upside to this change-- that automatic playing of music will not interfere with a trailer's music. I like that since lately trailers have been my main creative effort.
That could change as in a week and a half, I will be back at Klamath Lake with my paints. If the weather is good (I am a wimpy outdoor painter), I will do paintings there and might actually have something for here that is not digital.
The neat thing about this is I can now share some other kinds of trailers that I haven't been able to with the conflict. Here's the latest redo (I am working on two others right now). It's 60 seconds for my book Sky Daughter.
I had a trailer for Sky Daughter that was longer (I obviously love playing with these things), but I am seeing that the shorter ones are all viewers have the patience to watch. So be it. The challenge of reducing a trailer to 60 seconds taught me something important about trailers. They should depict the energy of the book. Not everything that happens but the important all encompassing energy. I think this one comes close.
