The limit in PhotoStory is 300 pix and even less if you use lots of Transitions and Motion effects. The free utility at the following link may be useful: TweakPS http://www.windowsphotostory.com/TweakPS One possible solution would be to create several smaller projects and then import them into Movie Maker so you could combine them into one project. I'll include saving instructions for Movie Maker at the end of this message in case you need them. Also...if you wanted to create a DVD you could use DVD Authoring software to combine them...the following freebie may be worth a try. DVD Flick http://www.dvdflick.net/ Be sure to read the Guide: http://www.dvdflick.net/guide.php If you need to increase the viewing quality of the project you might want to read the following articles about Custom Profiles.

If you have an HD monitor or TV, the standard SDTV filters used by many DVD creation tools, including Movie Maker, results in a "smoothed" picture which lacks the crispness that an HD monitor can provide, even with a standard DVD as the source. Using a "PC" profile of substantially higher resolution, such as 1024x768, turns off the "TV" filter and produces resolution which matches the best that DVD is capable of (720x480). -michael AppleCrate: An Apple II "blade server"!

FYI: I use Nero VE to build DVD's and I get the best results when directly importing a 1024x768 Photostory export. Nero VE will then again recode this videofile, but the quality is excellent. If I use MM to add extra banners, captions and effects, the exported MM video is just not worth watching. Let alone burn it on a DVD. If some1 knows how to create high quality video's from MM, I'd be very happy. > Even when I create a high res custom profile (1024x768), the MM > exported video is, well, disappointing.

I have no idea where to go from there. I guess you have read the following info?

[quoted text clipped - 18 lines] > or... > http://www.papajohn.org/MM2-SavingMovies-CustomProfiles.html Well, yes and no. I've tried creating a high res profile (1024x768) myself, but that didn't work. I didn't have the time or energy to try all permutations of possible option settings. However in an all-or-nothing attempt I downloaded a ready to use profile from that site. And the result, I have to admit, is much better than I expected. I'm now looking forward to finishing my Photostory exports with the nice MM extras. Thanx for your support. > Well, yes and no. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > nice MM extras. > Thanx for your support. ============================ Now you are getting somewhere. Keep up the good work :o) SignatureJohn Inzer MS Digital Media MVP Notice This is not tech support I am a volunteer Solutions that work for me may not work for you Proceed at your own risk |
