Slide Show

Could someone please explain to me how to run a "Slide Show" between singers, and before and after my shows? I'm using latest Hoster. I know one forum member Lon does this using pictures he downloads, then makes a slide show using "Windows Move Maker", and plays it back using "Media Player"? And they stop playing when a karaoke song starts, then resume afterwords. Simple please!

Easy, use windows movie maker make a slide show you can use video and photos even add audio, save it as a file, then use that file for one of your insta buttons, when the karaoke sond has finnished just press the insta button and away you go, when you play the next karaoke song it will automaticaly stop playing.

it will automatically save it as a windows movie file all you have to do is give it a name and a location so so can find it when you add it to your inta button.
Cheers.
Ps i have tried this tonight for the first time and it works fine.

It saves as a WMV file which you can use in the Instabuttons or as a video import.

Open Windows Movie Maker, set it to point to the folder where the pictures are and add each one individually to the timeline at the bottom. Then you can also add an audio file (WMA, MP3, etc.) once you have the pictures in place you need to set the time for displaying each so they don't flash through so fast you can't see them. You can also set transitions in between as well. When you have it like you want it then save as a WMV file.
