When you finish your slideshow, you need to render it. When you render your slideshow you are creating a file that compiles all of your images, music, and effects into one show that can be displayed as one final piece, not many parts.
Here are the steps to follow to render your show:
- First save all of your files to the desktop of your computer, open your proshow file from there and render it to there.
- Create Output- Video File
- Type- Custom
- Format- QuickTime [check with Audio]
- Compression- Apple MPEG4 Compressor
- Resolution- 1280 x 1024
- Framerate- 29.97
- Aspect Ratio- 16:9 (Widescreen)
- Encoding- High Quality
***If you do not finish rendering your show by Tuesday morning, your piece will not make it into the final show*** I have to build a full composite of all of the photo shows into one final video, this takes time and it needs to be finished by Tuesday afterschool for the rehearsal.
Whoever is helping at the show, make sure they set the projector to the same frame resolution 1280 x 1024. Also, check the aspect ratio so that it doesn't stretch the images, but fills the whole frame of the main screen.
