Hi
just wondered if any of you guys knew of any really good software that can make a WMV movie from digital photos ?
The current one I am using is Let's Photo Express - free version.
Origianally allows you to use around 20 photos, add text and music, then adds scrolling, panning, fading etc effects.
I have found a good bug in the program that allows you to add more photographs by deleting the first blank ( Intro frame ) and replacing with a photograph, then if you change the format style it allows you an extra 5 photographs ( and keeps doing so )
I am currecntly using around 50 at present.
I am a wall and floor tiler and use this for a portfolio of my work.
Have a look and see what you think ?

Could I use a program that will produce better results ?
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
Nick

It might be more in-depth than what you are looking for, but MS Office's Power Point sounds like what you want

If you do not have Microsoft Office, there is always the Open Office free alternative:

Windows Movie Maker might be a good, free alternative to others. You can check it out here: http://download.live.com/moviemaker.

I’ve used it to create some longer photo-populated movies for events and stuff. It works pretty well.
