| |  Slideshow
I know this is somewhat wide of where we usually are, but it's something my boss just asked me - and me being anxious to please and all...
He wants to copy a bunch of family .jpg's to a DVD but author the DVD in such a way that it becomes, in effect, a slide show once the DVD is inserted into a set top player. He doesn't want to get involved in Premiere etc. as his requirement is very simple and basic. Is anyone aware of a cute - and, ideally, free - piece of software that will enable him to do what he wants?
TIA.

Did you tell him it would be pretty darn easy to do it in Adobe Premiere Elements??? I mean, I don't see how much easier it could get unless there was some program out there for the express purpose of making cute little slideshow dvds and nothing else...

Microsoft has a free program for XP users called Photo Story 3. I’ve only briefly looked at the program, so I’m not sure how capable it is. Here is a link of some tutorials for it: http://www.papajohn.org/

Oh yes. I didn't get where I am today by not crawling. (Anyone remember CJ in Reggie Perrin? Probably not, you bunch of kids you...) :lol: In fact, the idea went through my mind - but then I thought "Nah...." (Because I'm delinquent on enough projects of my own. A trunk full of 35mm slides to digitise (and I haven't even got a scanner), 200 odd vinyl albums to convert to CD, After Effects to learn, a model railway to finish (the first person to say "sad bastard" gets my toes up their 'arris) etc. etc.
