Convert to video

[MacShot]

Hi,

Can I convert my slideshow created in Slideshow Maker into a video file, e.g. mp4 or avi?

Regards,
Mac

Hello,
No, it is not possible, gPhotoShow is basically a screen saver and can't create video

Dear Mac,

You could run the slide show and capture to a video with something like Camtasia. I have Corel video Studio which has a capture tool i use to capture the screen to a video.

gPhotoShow works fine. I use it to produce a slide show with music on my desktop , but when I transfer the slideshow to my laptop for viewing the slideshow is ok andt the music file is there but no music plays. I suspect a windows setting is wrong on my HP laptop. Any suggestions?

Hard to guess which is the problem. First check the audio volume settings on your pc. Then in gPhotoshow "Sound and Music" configuration page make sure the folders configured contains files with supported file extensions. Click on "View files" to see the files that gPhotoShow has found
Also check that "play sounds and music using" is set to MediaPlayer

I personally can highly recommend OBS for this. You can set all sorts of parameters, like framerate, which display to capture, resolution, up/downscaling, bitrate.

You can even create scenes with it, and switch between scenes (like multiple monitors), or add a webcam or even multiple, audio streams etc...

I use it for all my video recordings these days. In combination with a Streamdeck it's a really powerful tool for recording videos (it's officially designed for streaming to platforms like, YouTube, Twitch etc), but also has a record function. I mainly use it as a recorder.

It also supports different file formats like MP4, and MKV.

The best part, it's totally free! just google OBS and you'll be on your way!
