Re: [PRODIG] Creating a Slide Show

[Clay White]

Consider using IMovie for your slide show.  I do about 10 of these each 
month and it is easy. Turn off the "ken Burns" effect and you just drag 
the photos in order and specify a duration.  You have full editing of 
transitions and music and other audio.  The final movie can be saved as 
a Quicktime movie which is playable on pc and mac.

Even simpler is to save images (scaled for screen) as Photoshop PDF 
files. Use Acrobat to "create a new document from separate PDF" and 
pick transitions from the document menu.  Save as a acrobat file and 
users can play back with reader which is cross platform qand almost 
everyone has.  No fancy sound but you can attach a track.

Hope one of these opttions work.  Look for sharrreware as well ..there 
are a number of them out there.  CHECK

Hi List

Any guidance on this would be much appreciated.

I need to make a slide show of about forty pix to try and raise some
sponsorship monies.
The show does not need to be sophisticated but it needs the ability to 
run
on systems that are not necessarily used for managing large picture 
files.

Can anyone recommend a software package that can assist me with this
project? - Im not an expert - but I can build and manage webpages.
Ive had a look on download.com, but to no avail.

I work on a Mac platform but most of the people viewing will be on 
Windows I
presume. So the slideshow needs to be able to run on both. Is this 
possible?

Thanks in advance.
