Is there a way to have a white border / frame while making a slideshow? No matter what I do, I get my photos in black frame and I whould love to see them being presented in a white border.
Thanks, Thanos

Hi Thanos

Yes this can be done

1. Produce your slideshow to the highest quality possible (MPEG2 HD or AVCHD).

2. Insert a White Color Board (create a white one using New Color Board and use the numbers 255,255,255) in track 1

3. Insert the Produced slideshow in track 2 and double click to open PIP designer

4. Resize Slideshow to create a White border - add a shadow if you like

5. Produce this again to the same profile as the Slideshow



And voila! One slideshow complete with white border

Happy editing

Thanks for the answer Neil.
Two questions...
1. Is MPEG2 better than MPEG4? Is it recomended for final "product" also?
2. Wouldn't I have the black border "inside" the white board? How come the border disapears?
Thanks again,
Thanos

Hi Thanos

1. Use whatever profile gives you the best results - but ensure you keep them the same - I find the MPEG2 HD and the AVCHD profiles give me great results as I use Blu-Ray discs and USB drives into smart tv's

2. Not sure if I understand - where do the black borders come from - can you provide a screenshot of your slideshow?

If you resize the Produced slideshow by grabbing the edges - see photo - you are left with a white border

Black borders are because the color of 'nothing' in Powerdirector is Black.

If you put a color board on the top track (track 1), any time there is an video or image in lower tracks that do not cover the whole frame, you get that color board behind the image or video.

Actually you get whatever is in Track 1.
