Hi Neil, Its late and I'm tired so heres my update.
I rendered the slideshow minus credits in the Mpeg 2 HD that you suggested and did it in 1080 although I had a feeling 720 might have been better for this pc. When it had finished it was 800 Mbs and although it played it lumbered and was slow and disjointed between photo changes and transitions. ( Will try again your rendering without credits tomorrow )
I have the same problem with rendering in MPEG4 and 'Best Quality' as it seems to be far too big and lumbery for my pc playback so I use MPEG4 High Quality and that is fine.
I thought at this point I might mention the fact that when I place the mouse 'over' the ending credits box on the timeline that judders scrolling up the 'dialogue box' that highlights to tell you the contents of the box come up and in this case the whole dialogue highlight box from the mouse 'pulsates' about twice per second whilst the other ending credit test boxes do not pulsate. they are just static as long as the mouse hovers over the ending credits title. Soo, I'm suspecting that the pulsating is, in this instance, a clue to this little mystery .
The reason being that when I typed out the original 'ending credits001' I actually put in the spaces manually by pressing enter on the keyboard and in my case I pressed 4 times each between lines on the scroll. Soo, it was quite long although there were no extra spacers in the text as I checked that beforehand and took out what there was.
Anyhow I decided to create a new ending credits box and put some text in their and it was fine with the rolling.
Soo, I opened up the original slideshow and opened up the credits box in the designer box. However, this time, rather than manually punch 4 enters into each line on the credits I used the preset spaces at the top of the designer box and spaced out each seperate line of the credits to a max of 72. And when I pressed play the credits were going the same speed as my juddery original but when I checked the spacing with setting 72 I found that the lines were only a mere one 'enter' space apart rather than the original 'manual' 4. Soo, I'm kinda wondering if the judderyness came from too many manual 'enters' of the keyboard or something like that...Maybe.
Anyway, tomorrow I will create a new test slideshow WITHOUT putting manual 'enter' spaces in the credits text and just use the provided settings at the top of the design box and see what happens.
And talking of 'Producing' slideshows and movies for the computer and also youtube what settings here do other members use ?
I find that the highest quality settings are just too much for my computer or the media players I use ? But MPEG 4 High Quality is a good setting for me.
I'll be trialling out Neil's MPEG 2 HD tomorrow but the 1080 setting is just too big and clumsy on my machine.
and I run Windows XP SP3, 3 Gigs RAM, Pentium 2.8 Ghz Dual Core CPU, Intel Graphics
Okay, I'm shutting down for the night.
Many thanks to contributors here.
