Best software for Still Pics to DVD Movie presentation

[beammeup]

Hi,

Can anyone suggest any decent software for creating DVD slideshow movies from still pictures.

I tried a Ulead product once, but I think it limited each chapter to max of 99 still pics .

Any suggestions appreciated

Cheers
Scott

I started with studio 8 without any problem. It convinced me to upgrade to studio9

There are certain limitations set by the DVD format and specification itself that are not the fault of the software. You are limited to a maximum of 99 titles in a titleset. Many authoring programs will only create one titleset, and if they designate each still as a title, you will be limited to 99 stills.


Anyway - If I just want a simple slideshow, I use DVD Lab. If I want something more complex, I use Vegas. I do all my cropping and correction in Photoshop first, so I know that all the stills are correct before creating the slide show.

put those photos on the Premiere timeline and turn them all into a AVI file. There are settings in Premiere that control how long a photo remains before going to the next one.
With this method you be using the fast foward on your remote control to foward through the photos.
I would use this method and place a chaper point before every 10 photos on the authoring timeline.
