"Members Mini's Slide Shows” This was a huge hit last season
Members are encouraged to put together a simple slide show of their favorite images to share with others. Slide shows should be a max of 10 min.
Digital Slide Shows should be saved to a CD or USB Dirve. The Slide show must be able to run on it's own, not requiring any special software to be installed on our Club's PC. Most programs that produce slide shows will have that option when saving the show to disk. "Pro-Show" users can save as an "executable" and simply copy the file and bring to the meeting.
For those of you that do not have slide show software, no problem! just bring a CD full of your jpeg images, and I can run them as a slide show using our viewing software. You can figure approx 10 images per minute of show.
I will have my PC and sound system at the meeting for shows that have music.
Call me if you have any questions on producing or saving your show.
