#12: "... it is yet another slide show maker that does not allow a photo and an audio file to be linked together... Does anyone know of a slide show maker that does,"

If it helps...
There are 2 types of slideshows -- those showing regular stills for a brief period, & those that are made into video. Video slideshows are usually created with some sort of video editor, but, since working with however many images on the timeline can get tedious to say the least, most of the control you might otherwise have is hidden from you when using a slideshow app -- you need to get your images into a more full featured video editor if you want to group, link, or attach audio files/clips to individual images, but it is indeed possible with many (most?) video editing apps. Using apps I have -- in Roxio Creator 2011 Pro you start the central launcher, click to create a slideshow, import your photos, then click the option to edit in Videowave, where you can easily drag audio files onto the individual images in storyboard view. It works much the same way using Nero Multimedia 10, proceeding to create your slideshow in their new Kwik Media until you get to the point where you can click to edit in Nero Vision.

Alternatively, getting your images on the timeline or in a story board is the part I said can be tedious when creating a slideshow in a video editor -- you can always use Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder Standard [or similar] to create your basic video, then import that into the video editing app you prefer. There the video can be split into as many individual clips as you like, & if you want audio attached you can easily do it then. Most of the time you can also change the duration of those individual clips too.

However, for video slideshows the norm is to have one audio track providing continuity, though the actual music, tempo etc. can change to match the photos -- apps with multi-track audio also let you easily add narration &/or short clips for things like laughter or crashes or cymbals or whatever... how easy it is to control the volume of 2 or more tracks making up your mix varies with the app used -- if you can, get something that lets you use *envelopes*, which let you change things like volume at selected points along the track. There are also apps, sometimes bundled with video software, just for creating an original, customizable, background music track, & you can do things like change tempo, add a crescendo etc. to match the photos that will be shown on-screen -- Roxio Creator 2011 Pro for example included Sonicfire Pro 5, Scoring Edition [smartsound.com]. Nero SoundTrax [part of the Nero multimedia suite] &/or video editors like Vegas Pro will let you create 5.1 audio [SoundTrax will also do 7.1] -- you can use the front/center channel for your narration, pan effects clips side to side or front to back etc. And again there's nothing wrong with using Wondershare DVD Slideshow Builder Standard to create the video you'll use.

While I'm sure there are others, the 2 free NLEs [Non Linear Editors] I'm aware of are Wax & Lightworks, & you could always try DVD Slideshow GUI http://goo.gl/GdyJP . If you're interested in Nero but don't want to pay MSRP, pick up one of their OEM discs on-line [~$3], register it, & you'll get offers -- it cost me ~$35. With Roxio my only advice is to Google/Bing for coupon codes & watch for a sale. If you plan on using any text, it also doesn't hurt to use apps like Roxio's & Nero's that will do Blu-Ray as a sort of future proofing -- you may not want to spend extra cash for Blu-Ray capability, but if it's the same price as apps without... I read the other day that most people watch regular DVDs on their HD sets, & they often do look Very good, *except for text*. And most Blu-Ray players will play Blu-Ray or AVCHD burned onto a DVD just fine.

Easy to use, allows music and even voice over, however, it is yet another slide show maker that does not allow a photo and an audio file to be linked together. so I will be removing it from my machine.
Does anyone know of a slide show maker that does, if so please give a link to it.

Many thanks GOTD and Wondershare. Loaded without any problem and on a quick assesment looks to be a very nice piece of software. Fading the music to the length of the slideshow a nice feature. Pity the 3D features don't appear to be available without upgrade - would rather they were not shown in the menu list in this case. A minor gripe.
