Photostory 3 for Windows

Gary · External Since: Jul 29, 2006 Posts: 117

This is the second video I've made. The first one turned out
great with music, titles ,etc.
This one has about 160 photos, also with music, titles, transitions, etc.
I haven't finalized it yet because, when I preview it, the photos are very
slow(supposed to be 5 sec. each) and it is not operating smoothly. The
music plays fine.
Any thoughts here?

========================================================
Photo Story 3 has a photo limit of 300 but
that number is reduced if you use lots of
motion, transitions, music, etc...

Sounds like the complexity of your project
is taxing your system resources. Creating
smaller projects and then combining them
with Movie Maker might be worth a try.

Also...disconnecting from the net and closing
all programs (especially virus scanners)
may provide more resources for Photo Story.

If the project saves successfully in the .wmv
format ...it probably will play fine in WMP.

Hello,

When you preview the video, Photo Story renders it in real-time, meaning it
has to make the video first and then show you frame by frame. For complex
scenes, the computer may have trouble rendering fast enough for you to view
it smoothly. Export to WMV format and it should be smoothly playing
