Picture Slideshow / Montage software

[filthy1980]

Hey,

10th anniversary coming up later this year and want create a photo slideshow montage thingy to surprise the missus, just wondering what the best bit of software would be for doing this?

I use windows as opposed to Mac, have a rubbish eye for creative design so wandering if anyone had any recommendations.

Something that has some nice pre-built features that are easy to apply, obviously i'd prefer not to have to pay for the software so if there are any online tools that would be a bonus

appreciate any non pee taking responses )

idiot proof yes

but does powerpoint create an .mp4 file that can be extracted and uploaded to youtube etc don't think it does

Did your original requirements state that it should

So lets try again with what you actually need it to do

i believe the technical term "thingy" adequately described client requirements )

so i'm trawling through 10 years worth of pictures which i'm gonna pick out a few and put into a chronological order, would like to feed them into a bit of software that sticks on some nice transitions, and i'll overlay a a music score to go along with it, then just save as a .mp4 file that i'll upload to youtube and send to her,

that can be her gift, might cost me time but not a lot of ££

Question: Why MP4?


To me this sounds like a client using terminology to make a specification, when it's not the best way to do it.

Or, if you have the time, you could do it all directly in Windows Live Movie Maker:
