DVD SlideshowGUI

[chewie8008]

Is it possible to create your own border for the images in DVD Slideshow GUI. Maybe I could create my own transparent border instead of the simple white border that comes with the program?

Yes it can be done with 2 lines of avisynth scripting notepad:

ImageSource("yourimage.png",fps=25)
Overlay(last, loop(ImageSource("OverlayTemplate.png", pixel_type="RGB32", fps=25).lanczosresize(last.width(),last.height()), last.framecount()), mask=ShowAlpha(ImageSource("OverlayTemplate.png", pixel_type="RGB32", fps=25).lanczosresize(last.width(),last.height())),mode="blend")

Change the 'yourimage.png'(photo) and 'OverlayTemplate.png'(border with alpha), save as .avs and import the .avs as a slide, then you got your image with your border.

(Paint.Net can be used to make png's with alpha.)

Alternatively you can change the clouds image in the posteffects folder, if you want to make one border over the entire slideshow.

Alternatively you can use somthing like FrameFun it's freeware and can batch add borders to your photos before importing then in DsG.
