CREATING A SLIDE SHOW OR AN ANIMATION

You can create a slide show or an animation in which a series of still images are displayed, and then save those images as a movie file (extension “.avi”).

[Slide Show]: Still images are displayed for several seconds each, one at a time.

[Animation]: Several still images are displayed per second. We recommend that you select a series of still images that create the appearance of continuous movement.

1Holding down the Shift key or the Ctrl key, select several still images.

2Click [Movie].

The [Movie Settings] dialog box appears.

3Select either [Slide Show] or [Animation], which ever is desired.

For a slide show, set the length of the interval (in seconds).

For an animation, set the number of displayed frames (images) per second.

4Set the following items when necessary.

[Image Size]: Select the size of the movie file.

[Compressor]: Select the type of compressor.

[Back Color]: This item is used if the aspect ratio of the images is not 4:3.

5Click [OK].

The [Save As] dialog box appears.

6Specify the location where you want to save the file, input the file name, and then click [Save].

The file name can be changed.

The movie file is saved, and a confirmation message that asks if you want to play the movie now appears.

7Click [Yes].

The movie file is played back.

NOTES:

If you change the [Compressor] item, make sure that the playback system supports that type of compressor.

Depending on the selected type for [Compressor], a movie file cannot be created.

In some cases, the settings in the [Video Compression] dialog box are invalid.
