Hi All,

I need to do a photo montage with Music for a funeral.

When I did this four years ago for my mother I remember it was very easy and I am sure we used a windows 10 but I cant for the life me remember what we used.

I have downloaded clipchamp but the free version seems very restricted, we cant change the length of the photos that I can see.

Can Anyone recommend and good free software that is easy to use, We want to be able to export to a file and put on a USB drive to plug into the TV.

Thanks

John

That could be it, it seems to have been removed.

I have the free version of Clipchamp. Once I put a photo on the timeline I can drag the edge of the clip to adjust its' duration.

If you can't laugh at yourself then you probably shouldn't laugh at others.

Powerpoint would be the easiest

Does Powerpoint create a file that a TV can play (eg. an AVI)?

It seems to, I have not tried on the TV yet but will do later. I have not used Power Point in years.

Just a shame Microsoft has removed the software from Windows that we used last time.

Looks like it

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/turn-your-presentation-into-a-video-c140551f-cb37-4818-b5d4-3e30815c3e83

File- export - create video (mp4)

and then if it needs to be avi then there are a number of online convertors.
