In recent days, I dabbled with a couple of free software from Microsoft: Photo Story 3 for Windows and Windows Movie Maker. The first I used it to create slideshows from photos, while the second one I used to mount the presentations and to add recipients titles and sound.
For the novice user needs, Photo Story is almost perfect, in a few minutes you can prepare a complete presentation of dignity. The only limitation is the lack of effect of entry of the photographs, you can modify the transition between a photo and the other, but just as an example, you can rotate a photo or make it go in one side. For those who are really inexperienced, I suggest you use photos in jpg format, sized at about 2 Mpixel normal quality (mean quality jpg, pictures bad throw). Since the final product will be a movie, it makes no sense to use higher quality or size. The output format 800x600 PC is more than adequate to evaluate the effect and allows to work with a certain speed.
Movie Maker is a bit 'more delicate and create a movie that lasts longer than 10 minutes requires a lot of patience i) sometimes the software crashes and you have to close and restart the process since the last save, ii) mp3 audio tracks are cut so obscene and so you should spend some 'time to try to cut them in the right places so as not to hear strange noises, iii) audio tracks are not anchored to the movies but I am floating The addition of a trace causes erratic movement of the next.
