Download from: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=11132 OR search Google for Photostory3. Make sure you download from the actual
Microsoft site. The software will
indicate it is PhotoStory3 for XP but it runs fine in Windows Vista and Windows
7. There is an Apple version as well.
Step 1: Begin a new PhotoStory
Import your pictures. The
software will assist in removing black borders and resizing the photographs for
a data projector. In this step you can
reorder your photographs, adjust color
levels, rotate and add special effects (like pencil sketch and washout for
title slides).
Step 2: Add titles
You can add titles or credits to you slide show or even add captions to
each slide.
Step 3: Narrate & customize motion
If you have a microphone attached to your computer you can narrate your
slide show. I this step you can also
change the panning motion selected for each slide, the length of time each
slide is displayed and the type and duration of the transitions between slides.
Step 4: Add music
The software will recognize any .MP3 song. If the music is longer than your slide set,
the software will take care of fading the sound at the end of the slide show. Just select the slide you want the music to
start on and PhotoStory3 does the rest.
Step 5: Produce your show.
This is the last step. The
software will format your show and create a .WMV video file that can be shown
on any computer (you can even upload it to YouTube).Remember to save your PhotoStory work so you can go back and make edits and tune-ups if you want to.
