hi there!

i am searching for any easy freeware tool where i can create a little slide show with? i need it with a good music support, so that a special sound is played if a picture changes. and i need to change the display duration of every single picture, too.

i tried OOo impress, which has a bad music support. and i also tried cinelerra, where i can't put any pictures in.

thank you for your opinion!

Hey scottt,

Don't give up on cinelerra--you may be overlooking some things. I made a ~10min picture slideshow with music using cinelerra and so I know that this can be done easily.

make sure that you are checking these things before importing images--

[ ] Settings->Preferences->Recording (Correct image size and image duration are needed)
[ ] Settings->Format (Canvas size usually would match image size. Correct image ratio needed)

You need to change the display duration of every single picture. There are different ways of doing that in cinelerra and so I won't offer a precise method unless one is asked for.

Get over the first 'hump' with cinelerra you'll become a fan of the results it produces.
