Need software suggestion for slide show w/ music
Does anyone have any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive software program that can create a slide show with music? I can't find it in Photoshop Elements 2.0 or MS Digital Image Pro v7.0? Also tried searching the archives, but could not find anything. TIA for any help! __ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail - Find what you need with new enhanced search. http://info.mail.yahoo.com/mail_250

Re: Need software suggestion for slide show w/ music
what do you mean 'with music'? synchronized or free running music. there are many inexpensive programs if you consider $50 inexpensive.

RE: Need software suggestion for slide show w/ music
Once you create it, can you save it in a file format that others (that don't have MS Powerpoint) can view it? For instance as a Adobe Reader file? Also, what I ultimately would like to be able to do, after it is created, is stick it in a DVD player and watch in on TV. Can I do that with Powerpoint? Thanks again for all of the help! --- "J. C.

Re: Need software suggestion for slide show w/ music
I was hoping to be able to take music from a CD that I own, and somehow "burn" songs onto a slide presentation so that when the slide show is played, my song(s) are playing at the same time.

RE: Need software suggestion for slide show w/ music
What you want to do is make videos from still photos. There is software for that but it isnt anywhere near as sophisticated as powerpoint. Powerpoint has a small "reader" version that must be installed on a PC so powerpoint files can run on PCs that don't have the full powerpoint software.

Re: Need software suggestion for slide show w/ music
you want one of the many DVD slide show creation programs. most of them are under $50 street price. if they are decent, they will create menus and such so you can jump to and see different segments.

If you can burn the CD into MP3 files (and there are plenty of freeware packages that will let you do that) Irfanview will run the music along with displaying a slide show. You need a plug-in in order to play MP3 files with Irfanview but the plug-in is, like Irfanview itself, free. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
Re: Need software suggestion for slide show w/ music
Hello Steve, I use a product called VideoStudio from Ulead - only for PC's. Also, Adobe has release Premiere Elements as a competitor to VideoStudio - both cost about $100 and allow you to work with a timeline. One big question is what your output is going to be. Are you only playing back on the computer you created on? Are you wanting to create a playable DVD? Do you want the transitions to be dependent on the video hardware they are running on or independent like a movie? After years of playing with programs to create slideshows, I finally found that it is best and easiest to create an actual movie using stills and transitions. So both the above mentioned programs let you drop images into the timeline and set the length of display, frame by frame. They also let you put in audio tracks for music along with titling, etc. On top of that, they actually work with video, too! Lastly, they render a dvd quality mpeg movie that can be burned to dvd and played back at without regard to hardware issues.

Re: Need software suggestion for slide show w/ music
my personal slide shows are usually done using Adobe Premiere. i haven't upgraded from 6.5 yet. i ran into a problem splicing together from MPG videos for DVD production and i think it is a software bug, so that is the only reason i considered upgrading.

I was looking for that a couple of years ago. ERNR does not qualify for the educational package, legally.
RE: Need software suggestion for slide show w/ music
You won't get anythiong cheaper than Irfan View - it's free (for private use) and can use MP3 and other sound files. It will even add a small application to CD's you burn from Irfan View shows - the user of the slide show don't need to have the software installed - it will run anyway! It's brilliant, and free.

RE: Need software suggestion for slide show w/ music
Irfan View - still brilliant. You will need a software, that can make MP3 files (and other formats) from a CD. You can buy a See: www.MP3-ripper.net or try to find alternatives free.

Re: Need software suggestion for slide show w/ music
a program which i bought but yet have to do anything with is Photostory on CD and DVD. it's cheap and can make CD-i and DVD video interactive slide shows with synchronized music. the thing i don't like about Premiere is that it commits you to a single path through the images because it creates an ordinary movie. you start the show and run it until it ends. that is it, except when you pause it.
