Thank you Luc

Luc,
I just want to thank you so much for the tutorial on how to resize pixels
for a slideshow.
It worked perfectly.
Now I wonder if you can point me in the right direction for this next
question.
I made the slideshow using pp 2003 after resizing my pictures in psp but
resizing by pixels.
I then added the transitions using the ones in power point.
I then took my slideshow and recorded it to an avi movie using Camstastia
Studio.
Then I took it into Nero and burned to a DVD.
The pictures and sound came out perfectly but I noticed that the transitions
were not smooth.
Should I have made my slideshow in power point with no transitions at all?
Thank you for any assistance.

The less you give powerpoint to do the better. As Camtasia is trying to grab
lots and lots of 'frames'.

How do I get the best capture frame rate?

and
Why are my presentations or videos choppy when using Camtasia Studio?

Thank you TAJ Simmons,
I will check out your links.
My slideshow was wonderful and so was the sound.
The only problem was the transition for the slides that I used was a uncover
right.
When I ran the show it was then that I noticed that that when it went to the
next slide it did not do it smoothly.
While recording the power point show I had the Hardware Acceleration turned
off and when I took it into
Camtastia Studio I sent the screen resolution to720x480 TV/DVD.
I will take your advice and not use any transitions at all.
Liz.

An alternative is to use something like Windows Movie Maker to do your
presentation. It's perfect for pictures set to music.

It's a free download from Microsoft.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/moviemaker2.mspx or if
you have Windows XP SP2 installed, you'll already have it.
