- I need video/slideshow software that will show more than 1 frameper second
- Posted by jurgen jorgenson on July 27th, 2005
I recently did a slide show of my sons just-ended soccer season,
complete with title pages and a rock-n-roll soundtrack. Because I was in
a hurry, I just used XP's moviemaker and found it, for the most part, up
to the task. The only thing I noticed was that some of the clarity and
sharpness seemed to be lost from the images (6 megapixel) when saved as
and avi or mpeg file and viewed fullscreen, and the shortest time a
slide could be displayed was 1 second.
I would like to be able to have the entire set of images (a few hundred)
flash up on the screen in a very short time at the start of the slide
show, keeping in time with the soundtrack, then go in to "normal"
slideshow mode and have each one display for a few seconds. MM does not
seem to be up to the task with its 1 second minimum, unless there is a
work around I dont know about.
Any other suggestions?
TIA

MySlideShow from Anix does beautiful slide shows on PCs and allows extremely
fast (as low as .1 second) switching of images at the screen resolution of
your display (rather than avi or mpeg compressed video). If you are using a
PC for playback rather than a DVD player, it is outstanding. I routinely use
it with 8 MP still images as well as captures from HDV high def video.

I use the freeware SlideShowMovieMaker from
http://www.joern-thiemann.de/subpage/?/tools/ssmm/
It allows you to set the frames per second of the final output video and you
also set the number of frames to display each image.
(I used it for some time-lapse videos i made).
Has some reasonable transition effects all built in too and has a tool to
synchronise audio and video.
It's weakness is that it'll only produce valid AVI videos of up to 2GB in
size - so it's not much use if you want to create uncompressed AVI video as
they soon go over the 2GB limit.
If it produces a AVI which is greater than 2GB in size then the AVI will
very likely not play and give errors - but you can load it into VirtualDub
and it'll fix the AVI for you.

Soundtrack yes.....video, no.......It is intended to be a PC based slideshow
of photos only as far as I know (unless they have released a newer improved
version since I bought it...)

I did a little further research and there is now a newer version called
MySlideShow "Gold" which adds the ability to put videos into the timeline as
well. Both the Gold version and the original version now support DVD
creation as well. It is a superb product and very inexpensive.

set a soundtrack and background image for each individual slide or for
the entire slideshow. It also supports titling and various special
