Creating a slide show from a series of still images

If you have QuickTime Pro, you can combine a series of still images to create a movie that plays like a slide show. This is an easy way to share the pictures from your digital camera.

 

Assemble all of the graphic files you want to include in the movie in a folder, and then give them a common name followed by a number (such as picture1, picture2, picture3). Most digital cameras do this automatically. In QuickTime Player, choose Open Image Sequence from the File menu, then select the first file. Choose a frame rate of 2 seconds per frame or so in the Image Sequence Settings pop-up menu. A movie will be created, showing each picture in sequence. To save the movie, choose Save As from the File menu.

Slide shows work best when all the images are the same size. You can add music to your slide show by adding an audio track to your movie before saving it. Import an audio file, select the portion you want to add to the slide show, and choose Copy from the Edit menu. Then select the slide show movie and choose Select All from the Edit menu, then Add Scaled from the Edit menu. index index index map map map index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index index
