    Picture Slideshow / Montage software

    Hey,

    10th anniversary coming up later this year and want create a photo slideshow montage thingy to surprise the missus, just wondering what the best bit of software would be for doing this?

    I use windows as opposed to Mac, have a rubbish eye for creative design so wandering if anyone had any recommendations.

    Something that has some nice pre-built features that are easy to apply, obviously i'd prefer not to have to pay for the software so if there are any online tools that would be a bonus

    appreciate any non pee taking responses )

        Did your original requirements state that it should

        So lets try again with what you actually need it to do

            i believe the technical term "thingy" adequately described client requirements )

            so i'm trawling through 10 years worth of pictures which i'm gonna pick out a few and put into a chronological order, would like to feed them into a bit of software that sticks on some nice transitions, and i'll overlay a a music score to go along with it, then just save as a .mp4 file that i'll upload to youtube and send to her,

            that can be her gift, might cost me time but not a lot of ££

              Question: Why MP4?


              To me this sounds like a client using terminology to make a specification, when it's not the best way to do it.


              Anyway, to answer your question:

              Or, if you have the time, you could do it all directly in Windows Live Movie Maker:
