How to Make a Slide Show for Best Friends Birthday
Question Posted Thursday September 4 2008, 9:00 pm
O.k. so my friend is turning 16 in about a week, and I'd like to make her a slide show with a ton of pictures of us with our friends, her with our friends, etc. The problem is I'm pretty bad at things like this and have no idea where to begin. I mean obviously I have all the pictures saved to the computer in a special folder, but my computer is not too great and probably couldn't handle a program you have to install or whatever. Is there anything I can buy at like a Best Buy or something that's very easy to put into your computer to just set up the pictures on it so that she can watch it on her t.v. (this part is very important, I'd like her to be able to watch it on a t.v.). So is there a DVD type thing I can buy to put in my lap top & set it up. Something that's not overly expensive, (but I'm willing to lay out money) and simple. Oh, and also how would I add cool music to the slide show after buying this? Help would be very much appreciated, because as you can see I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to things like this :[.
Check in your pictures folder and right click a picture, try to see if you can preview it. If you can, there might be a slideshow button in the preview screen.
If not, Windows Moviemaker does wonders for slideshows. Just upload your pictures and drag and drop. You can use music off the internet, Limewire, or if you already have .mp3s, you can use them.
If you don't have that, there are plenty of websites that have programs already on it to make slideshows. Just upload all the pics you want in it and adjust it how you see fit. For music, you'll have to deal with what the site has or what it allows you to use.
