I have Easy Creator 8 (not the deluxe version) and am trying to put together a DVD slideshow (movie) of my wife's recent Alaska cruise.

Is there a way to automate the start of the show from the menu screen? I would like to have some music start the show and then part way into the particular music track have the slide show just start.

Does that make sense?

Thanks for your thoughts,

Chet

In VideoWave, just add a black (or any other color) panel at the start of the show and adjust the length of that panel based on the music and when you want the images to start.  You are working in VideoWave aren't you?  When you are complete, open MtyDVD and select file/new, DVD no menus.

Regardless of what I say about computer maintenance, there is no need to defrag a solid state hard drive.

Thanks, I think that will work quite well. I'm fairly new to EMC8, so I'm learning new things all the time. I actually started in the regular slide show program because I found it easier to move photos to the locations I wanted them. Once I was happy with that I switched to "edit in VideoWave" and that's where I'm at now.
