Whats the best way to make a picture slideshow with background music and some text?

Would I want to use some movie editing software (Adobe Primere) or something else?

Here in Wisconsin we just make a Word document and pass around some special brownies. Soon the background is moving and people swear they hear music playing too.

You should try Powerpoint. Has anyone suggested that?

Powerpoint should work fine. If you need something more complicated then that, you could you Adobe After Effects as well.

Powerpoint has helped me get through college so much. I used it to get through Spanish, and pretty much every other presentation I've ever done. Good stuff!

You have 1,857 posts and you don't know that Arthur is a student? With his student status he should be able to get that program at the special P2P rate.

Post it on here when you're done so we can all criticize the graphics you chose to include.

The original Oregon trail was lame. Subsequent versions were pretty cool. I actually had Amazon trail and played it to death. I did collect everything for the Incan King including cinchona. 8)

Thats it! Hyperstudio. Wasnt there some dog icon that went along with it?

I always hated hyperstudio, and wondered why we couldnt just use ppt.

It is evolution my good Arthurracoon! Just like when Super Nintendo came out and NO ONE thought that they could use FOUR buttons! Now look at the operating systems, they have like 22 buttons....

We just evolve to better things....
