When I create a photo slideshow, my photos don't fit the screen automatically. After loading the photos into the slideshow, I have to open video wave and change almost every transistion to manual, FOREVER to do this. Do I need to do something to the photos before I load them into the slideshow program so they are the right width and height for the slideshow?
Just so you know, this is how I build a slideshow.
Open Slideshow
Load photos from file
Highlight all photos and load into slideshow
Arrange photos in order I want them to appear
Open Videowave and preview
most of the photos tranistions have to be changed because the photo is usually out of the 'SafeZone' area. The only way I can get a lot of the photos to work is to do the transistion in Manual.
What am I doing wrong?
Is there any technical help available by phone with Roxio?
Thanks,
Bill

Use Videowave to create your slideshow - don't use the Wizard, its dumbed down for simple slideshow projects.
You can see why because you have to use VW to change the transitions which the Wizard "thinks" you want.

What kind of photos are you using in your project?

I don't understand what you mean by "most of the photos tranistions have to be changed because the photo is usually out of the 'SafeZone' area"? Transitions have nothing to do with the "TV SafeZone"

If you photos are too large, use a free software, such as Image Cropper to bulk re-size them.  Follow the tip, here:
