SMARTMOVIE
SmartMovie is a built-in project generator that allows you to create
a slideshow or movie automatically based on media you supply.
The created production will include animated transitions, a full
music soundtrack and eye-catching image effects.
At the bottom of the Library window, just click SmartMovie.
To begin, select from the Library a series of photos or video files.
Your music might come from digital audio assets already in the
Library, or you can cook up a soundtrack on the spot with the
ScoreFitter tool.
That might be all it takes, though you can work on the project further
with manual editing if you wish. Once you have a final product you
like, it takes only a few clicks to burn it onto a disc or save it as a file
for other uses, such as upload to the web.
SmartMovie for slideshows
The SmartSlide controls are presented on a panel that slides up into
the window from below. It contains three subpanels. The leftmost of
these presents information about SmartSlide, and advice on how
many files to include. The center subpanel is a storage area with bins
for photos and other images (top) and audio. The right subpanel
contains controls for customizing the show.
