"Can anyone help"

I want to scan some pics in to my computer and then create a sort of slide show, i also want it to show the pictures while music is playing in the background. Any suggestions how i go about it. (like a short video clip} I want the images to merge from pic to pic and have different effects.

I would appreciate it f anyone can help.

Again, windows Move maker... :P

You can then save it as a .wmv

That's a good one...

I think you may have to transport the music file with theslideshow - I don't think there is a way of integrating the file with the presentation.

I may be wrong though - I've never attempted it myself I'm afraid.

As you know i have done slide show, managed to get music playing in background but it plays from my desktop. So if i was to send the file to someone else they would get the slide show minus the music. Is there anyway i can send it to them and they get the song playing too aswell as the show. Is there a way of saving the music file to the slideshow.

Managed to complete it all, music lasts as long as the slide show all thats left is for my sis to see it.

Thanks for the help

If you still feel limited, you could always do it in Windows Movie Maker. If you have XP, it's already installed (I suggest upgrading to MM2 for free :)).

It's great for things like that, and it has some awesome transition effects.

got it working now i thinks, managed to get the song playing i wanted. Just need to play with it so it changes a bit differently.

thanks again

Slide transition? or between objects on a single slide?

If it's slide transition, go to Slide Show > Slide Transition > Advance - and change from 'mouse click' or whatever time it's set at to the number of seconds you want.

EDIT - You'll have to deselct 'on mouse click' otherwise it'll still wait for a click, regardless of how long you set a time

Ah cheers,

Can you please tell me on powerpoint how do i get the time set to show each frame. At the minute it is set for every 10 sec frame change. Thing is it doesnt change.

That's it - Powerpoint, not Publisher! Powerpoint is what you need.

No probs :)
