How to Make Your Own Wedding Slideshow

Brides and Grooms are finding new ways to really make their weddings different from others. They are now using slideshows to show pictures of the bride and groom, their family and their friends, or old home video. Whichever way you want to use the slideshow or perhaps video you are probably wondering how you can go about creating this. Following are a few programs that you can use and how you can use them.

The first on the list is the movie video editing software is the iMovie. You can basically take your home movies and turn them into a fantastic slide show or video. After version 3 it has been a Mac OS X application that has been bundled with life suite for Macintosh. Some of the effects of this software are color corrections, video enhancement, fade in, fade out transitions, and of course the slide feature.

With the movie 5 version you can even import music from iTunes, and you have the following additional features, full screen preview, sample sound effect, voice over narration, titles with 3D effects, fast motion, slow motion, ability to create still frames, splitting clips, and extracting audio. If however you have the latest version which is the movie 8 you have all of the features listed above with a few new ones added. Some of the new features for the '08 version included, skimming, additional exportation formats, and support for iPhone video. They did however get rid of a few features that were on the older version such as video effects, and the advanced audio editing to name just a few. In order to be able to run the '08 version you need a Mac computer with a Intel Processor or a PowerPC G5.

With the iMovie '08 version the library is built in so all of your video will be completely organized and arranged for you. Creating your movie for your wedding day is very easy with this version. All you have to do is click, drag and drop, the video you want into the project area.
