you can use sound with Photostory 3 but it doesn't have the cool transitions that Movie Maker has, nor can you ad video like MM.

I tried it through Powerpoint and my pictures look fine full screen...

Have you converted it to a movie yet? When you are still editing it looks really bad. Once you convert it to a movie file, it should look fine. The option is in the file tab. It's called "save as movie" or something like that. I'd open it to get the exact wording, but it takes a while to open. Let me know if you don't figure it out. Saving it takes several minutes.

Yeah, that totally worked! Thanks. I hadn't gotten to that step yet. Just playing around with it.

 

Thanks, what a relief.

Thanks for all your posts! I am going to try Movie Maker this weekend for our rehearsal dinner slide show. Thanks for the tips! Great videos!

I now prefer Vimeo.com for hosting the slideshows. I think you can upload up to 20 minutes & the quality is much better.

awesome thread, I used this for my brothers wedding but only the basics as I did it the night after the wedding, this thread is a huge help, I will have to save it somewhere so I don't lose all the info! Again, you amaze me with the time you have to spend on all this fun stuff. I struggle to even get on the computer each day after work as I am always busy doing something.. I can't wait to see the finished product of your wedding pics! can you believe you are getting married in a month from now!

I used Movie Maker to make a slide show of my wedding pics to finally show you girls my wedding pics and I tried to upload them on photobucket and it said that I can't because of a copyright issue....which I have the copyright.....so now what do I do so I can show the slideshow?

I posted this on your thread, but I'll put it here for someone else who has a problem in the future.

Use this website instead of photobucket

How do I add music from Itunes? I have almost given up! Would it be better just to burn a CD? Do you think it will be loud enough if I have it all on a disc? HELP PLEASE!
