slideshow/video
« on: November 17, 2009, 11:26:32 PM »
What is the best program to make a slideshow/video montage?  I have been using windows movie maker, it's great except I can't fade my music when I want to change songs.  I want a program where I can smoothly change the music when I am changing the theme of my pictures.  Got any ideas?

Well - not a free app I am afraid but I use Serif Movie Plus X3 for all my vid work and that has provision for tweaking sound easily.  You can adjust fades in audio track and add another audio track (or more) - again with options for fades.

Serif.com is worth a look and if you get the app I'll all but guarantee you'll like it and use it for other stuff too.  Good for movies but also works well for still pic slide shows as well.

Thanks for the reply Chris.
I figured it out though. You just have to right click on the track and select fade in or out from the menu. It was so easy, I'm surprised I didn't notice it earlier. :P

Haha - one of those ''I just found it'' deals!!  Glad it does the trick.

Must say tho - if you want a pretty darned good vid editor do check out the Serif deal... it gives a lot of options that Win MM almost certainly doesn't.
