Right now is beta 5 and there will be at least beta 7 before version 5 is completed.You can use transparent background PNG files created in Photoshop or other software to do amazing text effects with beta 5. There have been numerous tutorials written on how to add and use text effects. Go to theDom's web-site for links. Look up theDom on the search engine here on the forums or just click on any of his links. I have written tutorials myself in audio-visual format as well as in PDF format so there is plenty of information about how to do this available.The best way to put background and voice is to use MP3 format for your background. Add it by clicking on the Project Options, Music, then Add Music. It's best to put your voice over by using the Custom Slide feature to add the voice. If you want you "could" use Audacity (find it free on the web) to combine voice over with music and make a single MP3.You can add multiple MP3's by just using the Project Options just like in the release version (4.xx) of PicturesToExe. Look at some of the slideshow samples linked here or on Beachbrook to see what can be done with the beta versions. You can see some samples from the "Slideshow Demo" link on my site at:http://www.lin-evans.netThese are in zipped executable format. Just clilck on the picture next to the description to download the zipped executable.Best regards,Lin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnFeg Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 AddaThis does not work on my PC in Beta 5do you have box checked to play musickenKen, I have never been able to attach a sound file to an individual slide in V5, using the "Sound" function in the main screen. I assumed the function had not yet been activated.At present, I find it is only possible to mixdown the voiceover and background music track in Music Editing Software (I use Cool Edit) into a single MP3The main disadvantage to this method is that, once you have made the mixdown, all the timings of slides and transitions must remain fixed in time and position. At least, that is, for those slides to which the voiceover makes reference. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alrobin Posted September 14, 2006 Report Share Posted September 14, 2006 The "Sound" line option hasn't been activated in v.5 yet - however it is possible to add music in Project Options as Ken suggested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
