Photo Story to email

[Cindy]

I'm trying to email a 47MB photostory. I originally saved the file to make a
DVD. Now I can't figure out how to go back and save it for email. What's the
trick? I am using Gmail and they have a 25MB limit an attachments.

==============================
Instead of compressing your movie and
lowering the quality...you may want to
consider uploading it to one of the following
sites and send your recipients the download
link:

"YouSendIt"
http://www.yousendit.com/

"SendSpace"
http://www.sendspace.com/

Anyway...here's the info you requested.....

If you still have the .wp3 project file you
can re-open it in Photo Story and when
you get to the "Save Your Story" screen...
left click the 'Settings' button and then open
the 'Profile' drop window. This is where
you can choose various save options.

If you do not have the .wp3 file...you can
import your Photo Story .wmv file into
Movie Maker / Drag it to the Timeline and
go to...File / Save Movie File / E-mail.

OK, I must be missing something. I have Photostory 3 for Windows. When I open
the program and click "edit a project" I see my wp3 file and I open it. When
I click save project I do not see any settings buttons.

===================================
No...you are not looking for "Save Project"...

What you need to do is open the .wp3 file and
advance through several screens by clicking the
'Next' buttons until you come to the:
"Save Your Story" screen...
that's where you will find the "Settings" button.

After choosing one of the e-mail profiles...
"Profile for e-mail - 3 (320x240)" for example...

Left click the OK button to return to the Save Your
Story screen....just click 'Next'...one last time and
your project will be saved in the.wmv movie format.

That should give you a completed .wmv movie
file small enough to send to your e-mauil recipients.
