Slideshows

[Laura]

Hi all, just wondering if any of you set up slideshows to view your images? I have a lot of shots from my recent trip to Rome and I'd love to create a slideshow to music. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to get started?
Thanks in advance!

If you're using a Mac then the iMovie app should give you everything you need... I'm pretty sure there is something similar thru Microsoft but I don't recall what it is called...

@northy Wow! What a fantastic slide show and and absolutely stunning set of images. The music was perfect. Unfortunately I'm not working on a Mac, I'm a Windows user, but thank you for some serious inspiration!

Depending on what version of Windows you are running there is a piece of software called Windows Movie Maker that will let you make slideshows, add music etc

I forgot to say - it's from Microsoft so if you do a search then you can find it from their website.

@creampuff Oh great, that sounds like just what I'm after! I'll look into that, thanks a million :)

There are lots of Youtube clips on how to use it as well.

@creampuff I'm downloading it as we speak :)

@lauramalone82 I use youtube for slide shows but not sure if that is what you are looking for. http://365project.org/bizziebeeme/3654/2014-07-15

I'm a Mac user, but have a PC for games - I also use it to make slideshows using Pro-Show Gold.

Best software investment I've made in a long time, and on a PC! I was blown away by how easy it was to use and how awesome it is. Here is a video I did in 30 minutes for my swim team customer.

I'm not kidding...its awesome and fairly inexpensive...about $100 US.

I have made slide shows for our kindergarten graduations and used power point.

I made one for my birth client using Lightroom (I can't remember if you have that Laura?). I had to search for a few how-tos and it appears to be a fairly basic kind of function but it did the job quite nicely :)

I just found Windows Live Music Maker on my computer. I just used it and practised with a few photos & music. Its wonderful. Thanks Laura for putting the post up.

I've used Photoshop Elements, Windows Live Movie Maker and online I've just started trying out a site called Stupeflix which seems ok although not as good as One True Media which ceased business a little while ago.

I agree completely with Thomas @thomastoth. Pro-Show rocks. I have used Gold and then Producer for years. Well worth the price, particularly if you plan on doing multi media shows (Movie clips, photos and music).
