moviefactory 7 pro versus toshiba or version 5

[rkonkin]

Good morning,

I tried searching the forums but could not find a similar issue. I hope I'm not wasting anyone's time. I have toshiba satellite a210 laptop . Originally, version 5 was prebundled with the laptop and I had issues with the software stopping or locking up. I formated my hard drive, reloaded the toshiba back to out of box status. I reloaded from my backup disks, downloaded all windows updates and still encountered the same issues. I went to the Corel website and purchased the pro 7 version(I didn't see a toshiba option) but now I find I am really limited on the transitions. I mostly use this for slide shows. Version 5 had random transitions. It seems to be missing from 7 pro. Also, is there any option for using mp3 files instead of wavs for music. Would there be any benefit in getting the Toshiba version? Am I using the wrong program to try to get professional looking slide shows?

Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks in advance,

Rod k

When you're in the Add Slideshow, you're saying that you do not have all the transition categories, namely the random?

DMF 5 was the only version that had a specific Toshiba version that I'm aware of. DMF 7 Pro should work fine with your laptop. Have you downloaded and installed the patches for DMF 7? http://www.corel.com/servlet/Satellite/ ... 5525182943

There's several products around that are made specifically for creating video slide-shows. Most video editing applications are very capable of this, just requiring a little more effort than a template based program. With DMF 7 Pro, if all you're using it for is to create slide-shows, you're not using much of what the program is capable of. I will say that DMF has always done a good job with the ease of creating slide-shows. Here's one that is suppose to do a real good job... CLICK HERE
