First, I have been googling for about a month now and tried out some trial programs. Free and purchase ones. I want a program that I can put my pics into say 10 folders of about 35 - 40 pics and store on the HDD and have 10 mp3 songs burned to my HDD for each folder. I want to do it this way so that I don't have to sort through pics off thumbnails, time lines etc. to pick the beginning of the show and fade out end of the beginning and then on to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th to the final 10th with a blank pic which would have a trimmed MP3...mpk file to use for the brief credits etc. I would need the app to do MP3 trimming, as I don't want to have to mess around with several apps to get the job done. Then I would like audio fade Sync. Audio "Normalization" so that the sound is the same throughout. A fluid slide show from start to end without Menus b/c I have the pics sorted into 10 folders. I simply did that for ease of choosing the pics and the length and choice of the song for each grouping of pics. I only want One Intro (menu) at the beginning so that I don't have to click the DVD stand alone remote for the 9 other pics and music. I simply want 1 whole flowing slide show. Random transitions. I was thinking about 5 sec per pic and 1 sec for transition. I would appreciate it if I could get experienced comments from respected users. Also I would like to know if this application can do this, is this an Active forum as I have tried out some programs and there is little participation in the Forums or any real help. Forgot to say that my OS is xpsp2 and that I want to burn DVD to watch on Stand Alone DVD player I thank you for your time and look forward to replies. ( I want to do this as a hobby and not spend my time reading the manual as a hobby !! Thx again.
