Creating a slideshow on mover maker using digital camera stills

[Guest]

Hi Guy

I'm trying to make a slideshow of my sister-in-laws wedding using stills, crossfade and adding music. Its all going really well apart from the quality. People's faces are sometimes distorted & blurred. However, the original prints taken on a Konica Digital Revio KD310Z are perfect. The size used to take them was 1200x1600. I have added them on to 'collections' by the import method. On saving my movie slideshow, I have tried saving it on low quality, medium, high and email. High is the best but still not brilliant. It even distorts slightly in my movie maker monitor and then distorts worse when I watch it through my windows media player

Can anyone offer any advice, I have searched the help on Windows Movie Maker and on the on-line pages but I can't find an answer

Thank

try to save to computer, other settings, DV-AVI. That will give you the
best quality and most portable file

Video resolution is only 640x480, so it is much lower than your nice, hi-res
photos.
One thing you can do to help out is to crop the images smaller when you can,
this gives more pixels to what remains.

If (most do not) you have access to Photoshop or something similar - maybe
PictureIt (much cheaper) or something like it - you can do the cropping and
make nice 640x480 images before importing the photos into MM - then you'll
get output that more closely resembles what you put in.

Hope that helps.
