[MacDV] iMovie for creating slideshows with photo captions?

[Juan M]

Since I have done bunches of iMovies, I guess I would say use iMovie. I 
am familiar with using photos and putting captions, titles, etc over, 
under, and above them. It's easy ... and you can add music or annotate 
them with your own voice over or if the persons are still alive, 
interview them and put a one liner in with the photo. Then put 
transitions on it and you got something everyone will love.

But since I am familar with Powerpoint, you could use that too. But 
unless you have that it is expensive. I believe you can then convert it 
to Quicktime. and then you could make an SVCD

But since I am familar with Keynote, blah, blah, blah.


But iMovie is the best of the bunch and easiest to put onto tape or DVD 
(if you have a digital video camera and/or DVD burner)

Even the first family remembrance I did and the first eagle scout video 
I did still bring everyone to tears.


good luck

just do it in iMovie.
