Back to using Motion Pictures 1.0.4 because I can't get rid of the obnoxious border in Motion Pictures HD. Set to "0" & the thing won't go away. Sure, I can make it a big fat 20 just fine but no border? Not gonna happen. Why these guys thought a default border of "6" was cool is beyond me. Just want a final wall to wall image and not puppies or flowers or dancing bear borders on my movies. Help a pinhead here, fellas!

Where are puppies, flowers and dancing bear borders?

Motion pictures HD always has a background and also can have a border between the background and the photo. The slider determines the width of the border. Nothing changes the size of the background which, by default, is black but you can change it to something else.

My guess is the creator of this application decided to force a background to appear on all photos in order for their to be a consistent background frame when showing the multiple-image options.

If you don't want a background but want the pictures to bleed to the edges of the TV screen you'll need to use a different application than Motion Pictures HD.

The "lions and tigers and bears" reference was my displeasure of being forced into accepting a border of any size when I want none at all. Maybe it's the BACKGROUND I take offense to. I want the option of NOTHING but pics showing (like Motion Pictures 1.0) and not having even a background (color selectable) which is producing what might be considered a "border" around my pics. I'm old. I'm stubborn. I want it MY way.

Maybe I'm just being a big baby. Waaaaaaaaaa...

At least you still have your humor. Yeah, what you want to do can't be done with this version. You might want to give Photo-to-Movie a try. They have a trial version and I consider it the best of these movie slide show apps (unless you want the multiple images in a frame which only Motion Pictures HD can do).

Have PhotoToMovie 3.0.4. (See it's now gone to 4.0 as a paid upgrade) Like the multipanel options here and I'm getting less cantankerous about the background/border thinggie. (Guess it's needed when doing the 6 layout attack plan) I'm better now that I've changed my old diaper for a fresh one and refilled my bottle.
