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.

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?

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
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.

You won't get anythiong cheaper than Irfan View - it's free (for private use) and can use MP3 and other sound files.
