The digital photo technology allows major events to be captured without hassle. A creative way of keeping and presenting photos is through home made photo videos. It’s a great pleasure to show off some photos in a movie form, but creating video slide show needs a bit of patience and skill. I remember some friends requested photos from church activity to be converted into a slide movie and saved on a VCD or DVD for distribution to community members.

Keeping the photo size in its original form will store the quality, but these usually could take more space and will eventually only fit on a DVD. This is especially true when there are like 200 to 300 high quality photos. The process of creating video is pretty simple. It start with selecting the photos you like and arranging them sequentially by file name. It’s also important to standardize the size and orientation of the photos being used.

I normally use a combination of software to create a single video slide movie. The video is first created from the photo available. Once the video is set already a sound track music or any audio desired is added to the video. After everything has been done, the whole thing is transferred to a VCD or DVD disk with the use of a DVD burning software.  Having a software that could do all audio and video manipulation would be better as no need to move the project from one software to another. An all-in-one software could be used like the Blaze Media Pro multimedia software to edit audio and video and burn it into a disk.
