you make me dizzy....
You are hopeless!

[dandymomma]

LOL!!!

I would love to share more pictures, but first someone has to tell me how to submit a slide show.

[Diane Amberg]

    OK, Now MR. FRAWG!   Put down that cricket, take Rudy's hint, and help Dandymomma. You are so good at this kind of thing, it would be a snap of your fingers to take her through it. (purr, purr)

[kdfrawg]

Nope, I had to finish the cricket while he was still fresh.   

I have been using Ulead MediaStudio Pro to do slide shows, just because of the control it gives you. But I am pretty sure that Dandymomma doesn't have that program. So I guess what we should do is ask Dandymomma what program she is planning to use to make slideshows. Thus:

"Dandymomma, what program do you plan to use to make slideshows?"

And if you don't know, we'll need to do a program inventory. I think that Microsofts MovieMaker will probably do this, although I have never used it, and it's free, so that might be a good choice. It should not take long for either of us to learn to use it.

Dandymomma -

   I found a pretty good article about using Windows Movie Maker to make slideshows. Take a look at it and see what you think....

I am indeed using Microsoft Movie Maker. It does a decent job, but I wish it had a few more special effects. I need to see if there is a way to make the music fade out at the end instead of just cutting it off abruptly.

Teresa and Kjell are working on something for slide shows, so hopefully I can show you guys what I made in a couple days or so.

In Movie Maker and after you have moved an audio file to the story board, right click on the file in the audio/music line and choose fade out on the little menu that shows up.

[kdfrawg]

Yeah, Dandymomma, I understand that Movie Maker is kind of the no-frills entry into video. They add stuff every once in a while. I think the current version is 2.1. If that's what you've got, that's all there is. The system that both Teresa and I are using (I think) is from Ulead. She may have a better version than I have. Mine is a couple of tears old. I'm using MediaStudio Pro, which is $400. You can look at it here: http://www.ulead.com/store/msp/runme.htm That's a lot different than free.

Frawgie, did you really mean "a couple of tears old"?  Must be pretty frustrating.

[kdfrawg]

LOL! I love it when typos work out like that!

I suppose, actually, that it is a little bit of both. 

Good eye, Wilma!
