How to make family picture slideshow with music
Everyone has lots of happy times with families. You may celebrate holidays together, chat leisurely, play with little children or eat a fancy dinner with your family. How to record the precious family times? Of course, it is the easiest and most popular way by taking photos, but don't just store your photos in computers or albums where people rarely see them. Let your photos tell your family story. Why not make a family picture slideshow with music and upload on web so that more friends can enjoy it.
The tutorial is mainly about how to make family picture slideshow with music, transition effects and custom template. What you need is a picture slideshow maker, some family photos and family background music. Here we choose Wondershare Flash Gallery Factory as our picture slideshow maker.
Seeing is believing, watch the family picture slideshow sample made by Wondershare Flash Gallery Factory and get inspired.
Please follow my steps to make your own family picture slideshow with music.
Step 1: Install picture slideshow maker.
Download and install picture slideshow maker, then choose the mode from Gallery Mode and Slideshow Mode. To make family picture slideshow, either Gallery mode or Slideshow Mode is OK. Here I select Slideshow Mode.
Step 2: Import family pictures & background music to picture slideshow maker
The program will go to "Browse" tab by default .Click "Add photo" built-in button to add your photos or just drag the photos to storyboard directly. Then click "Add music" button to add background music. The music in MP3/WMA/WAV formats and digital photos in BMP/JPEG/JPG/PNG formats are preferred.
Step 3: Select template for your family picture slideshow
Go to "Template Tab" and select your favorite slideshow templates from the 60+ ready-to-use free templates. Or you can custom template (Slideshow Mode only) to make your own family picture slideshow as well.
Step 4: Set transition effects for your family picture slideshow
There are 85 transition effects and 10 motion effects for you to make your picture slideshow more animated. You just need to drag the transition effects to the middle of the two photos in storyboard. To set motion effects, you need to drag the effects on the certain photos.
Step 5: Preview and publish your family picture slideshow
The picture slideshow maker provides various output formats, so you can publish your family picture slideshow in SWF, HTML or EXE formats as you like, or you can mail it to your friends directly as a gift. If you can't finish the picture slideshow at one time and want to revise later, you can save it by click the "File" tab or the left buttons. See below thumbnail to get more info.
If you want to embed the web photo slideshow on web page, MySpace or Blogger, please publish it to SWF or HTML formats.
Step 6: Embed web photo slideshow on website
Upload the SWF format photo slideshow to any web hosting and get the file's URL. If you don't have a personal web host, don't be worried, you can upload your SWF file to Google Sites for free. Then Copy and paste the following HTML code on your web page, MySpace or Blogger, so long as it supports HTML code. Then replace the red URL to your own URL. You can also change the size of web photo slideshow by revising the red number "264" and "550".
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowScriptAccess="never" allowNetworking="internal" height="264" width="550" data="http://www.flash-gallery-software.com/images/tutorials/flash_banner/banner550.swf">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" />
<param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.flash-gallery-software.com/images/tutorials/flash_banner/banner550.swf" />

</object>
