Making a Slideshow

You can make slideshows in WMV streaming format and publish them to your website or FTP server.

To make a slideshow:

1. On the main application interface, click on the Create a Video Slideshow from Your Photos and Publish option.  The Auto Slideshow dialog opens.
2. Add and arrange the slides you want to include in the slideshow.
3. Optionally, add text to the slides.
4. Optionally, add music to play as the background score in the slideshow.
5. Select a style for the slideshow, if you wish you can preview the slideshow before the slideshow is created.
6. Click on the Make Slideshow button.
7. In the Make Slideshow wizard, click the Browse button to specify the location where the output file will be saved.
8. You can also specify the File Name and File Path of the slideshow.  If you do not give a name, the output filename is called MySlideshow (by default) with a number appended to the name each time you create a new slideshow.  Click Next.
9. From the Profiles dropdown, select a streaming profile depending on how you plan to stream your slideshow.  You can view the Profile Properties for the selected profile.
