I want to make short "videos" that mix pictures from my large
collection of digital photographs with MP3(s) of my choice. I don't
want just a simple; 1) Choose Folder, 2) Choose length between images
3) Choose MP3 4) Press play. (i.e. Picasa).

I want to be able to control many variables such as when a certain
photo appears and for how long. I want to be able to control the
transitions between pictures and time the transitions exactly with
certain moments in the peice of music.

I once tried to do this with Adobe Premier but I found the program to
be too complicated. Looks like you need to take a course to just get
started using it

So I am looking for a feature-rich program that is also intuitive to
use. Definitley not a professional level but also not dumbed down and
limited in its artistic options. I would also hope that it allows for
the manipulation of video too (not just digital photographs).

I will be astisfied with an answer that points me to a program that
fits these criteria. A five star answer will point me to at least 3
programs.

Thanks.

P.S. I am using Windows XP.

Augusta --

Have you tried Microsoft Powerpoint, which seems to do many of the
things that you're seeking?  It is a bit more limited in video
editing, but in this case ease-of-use may be directly related to the
number of editing features . . .

Best regards,

Thanks Omnivorous.

David Byrne, formerly of the Talking Heads, uses PowerPoint to make
art. He's had serious exhibits of his PowerPoint art.

I'll see how it works for me and let you know.

Augusta,
You should use Roxios Easy media creator 7. It will do everything you
want. You should be able to figure it out in a hour or so. Get more
