Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / August 2005Slide Show Software
Hi all I have produced a slide show using Adobe Photoshop Elements with music and transitions. I was quite pleased with the result until I saw someone else's slide show. It had a lot more sophisticated transitions than mine. Can you suggest other software which does slideshows. Thank you mark b > Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Can you suggest other software which does slideshows.

Not the gold standard, not by a long way, but the industry standard. > Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > mark b Try Studio by Pinnacle. I believe it is up to version 9 and does video as well as still photos. It has many many standard transitions, you can add background music as well as narration, etc... Sells with a PCI or USB card/adaptor for input for around $100. Well worth it.

How do you accomplish this? Can you also use Ogg files in addition to mp3 files for sound files? Can you burn the result to a dvd that will play in a standard dvd player? How limited or useful is Open Office in this regard? Can you also do this in Linux, or are you limited to this in Windows?

Basically make a video file. The sky is the limit on what you can do. You can add intro's, background music, transitions galore. And, the same file is primed to import into a DVD authoring software program too. Now, a video file would not be interactive like a regular conventional slide show, you can't go back and forward by clicking a button per se. You have to get into a program like Director for that. Also, google search for java and javascript slideshow. There are tons of real kewl little scripts that offer slide show stuff Check this out http://hoofr.com/gallery-b5.htm its a java based slideshow. David A I am surprised somebody has spammed this post because it isn't really on newsgroup topic. I guess its close - photos are involved and its a system, and you could use an SLR >Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > >It had a lot more sophisticated transitions than mine. There are a ton of slide show programs available ranging from free to hundreds of dollars. Most of them have all sorts of transition bells and whistles. I use PicturesToExe by WinSoft Inc. it has several dozen transitions but after playing around with all the wipes, swipes, and bangs I've settled on a simple fade out with overlapping fade in. I looks professional and doe not divert attention from the images. I do like the customize music synchronization feature that allows slides to be displayed for different time intervals and it also plays midi files along with mp3 and wave files.

If you're operating system is Windows XP, Photo Story 3 for Windows XP is free. I've used it with very satisfactory results.

Lots of transitions, captions, music. I'd eventually like something more professional (more automated handling of certain events), but it does the job quite well for many purposes. http://www.digitalphotoslideshow.com/ |
