How we do it: DVD Slideshows and all the Possibilities

by Marsha Knackstedt / Friday, 07 May 2010 / Published in Tips About Other Products and Services.

Creative DVD Slideshows
Did you know that Leave A Legacy can use your digital photo files (jpg files) to produce a DVD that will play on a DVD player and most modern computers?
Of course, if your photos are prints or slides we can make them digital for you.

Images usually appear on screen for five seconds and the transition between photos is usually one second. When using these time lengths it is easy to figure how long your slideshow will run. For example: 100 photos will make a 10 minute slideshow and 350 photos will make a 35 minute slideshow.
The length a photo is on screen can vary, according to the length you desire, even to a tenth of a second.

Transitions determine how the screen changes from one image to the next. Clients frequently choose:

  • Fade (one picture fades out while another fades in)
  • Random (uses a transition that is randomly selected ex: wipe, zoom in, slide out, barn doors, etc.)
  • Page Turn (looks like each photo is a turned page)

Titles are like an introduction page to your DVD slideshow. They feature text of your choice and a background behind it.
Choose your background from your own photos or art or from our selections.

Captions are text that describes the photo. The caption text can be added to an empty space in the photo, or the photo can be
reduced or moved to the side to accommodate text.

Video clips can be added to the still shots.

Music or narration can accompany your video clips or slideshow. Look for more about music options available in an article entitled
Adding Music and Narration (coming soon).

    Have you considered uploading an actual slideshow to SHOW what you’re talking about rather than explaining it? As a potential customer I would want to see the high quality of your work rather than hearing you tell me about it or reading about it. 🙂

    Wishing you much success!

      We have some slideshows and other videos posted on YouTube. Not all clients want us to show their projects to the world, especially the memorial ones. So the one I showed has a portion of my son’s graduation slideshow. We’ll keep posting more samples of the interesting work that we get in. Thanks for the comment! -Marsha owner of Leave A Legacy
