    Hello,

    I have a problem with creating a slideshow.
    It imports the project (pictures, text, transition effects, etc.), stores the AVS - File and then remains "Converting File ..." depend on the issue.
    It does nothing more, and can be seen even after hours of no progress.

    Does anyone have an idea what it could be?

    The OS is Win 7 Home Premium on a laptop.

    Best regards R.Lehmeier

    Does it create any log files? or any other errors?

    Have you installed avisynth? (if it's not included in the installation).

    does your laptop hard drive have plenty of available space? or might just be slow on your computer. try letting it run overnight and see if it finishes.

  7. Another question: what is the size of your photos? Too many 4k photos can bog down your software and/or computer.

    There are still more than 300 GB free on the hard drive.

    There are 160 pictures in the size of 2304 x 1728 pixels and a file size of 500 KB - 1.6 MB.

  10. That could be the problem. Resize the photos to smaller resolution. I would resize a couple and make a test run to see if that will work. If that works then resize 25 more and test again and so on. I would try 1920Ũ1080 for starters. By the way 160 photos may be too many to hold the interest of your audience. I have found that my guests fall asleep after looking at 25.
