When you’re finished
creating a slide show, it’s time to share your project. You can publish
it as a PDF or movie file, as a video CD or DVD, on a Windows Media Center
Edition computer, or in Adobe Premiere Elements for use in a video project.
In the Slide Show dialog box, click Output.
Choose one of the following, and click OK:
Save As A File
Select this option to generate a file you can deliver
over the web, or by e-mail. This saves the slide show in PDF format,
or in movie file format (WMV).
For PDFs, choose a size option
based on your viewing audience.
If you want to
send this PDF to someone with a laptop with a small monitor, choose
a smaller slide size.
If you plan to send it to someone with a desktop computer
that has a large monitor, choose a larger file size.
To automatically replay the slide show when it ends, select
Loop.
If you don’t want the slide show to play automatically,
select Manual Advance.
If you want to see the PDF after it is created, select View
Slide Show After Saving.
Note: Some slide show features
are not supported when you save a slide show as a PDF file. Pan
and zoom effects do not appear in a PDF file. If you’ve included
video clips in a slide, the slide is saved without the clips. Also,
some transitions look different in the saved PDF (for example, Center
Shape and Clock Wipe transitions become the Fade transition in the
PDF file).
For a movie file, choose a size option
based on your viewing audience.
If you want to send
this movie file to someone who will view it in an e-mail, choose
the smaller slide size.
If you plan to send it to someone who will view it on a TV,
choose a larger file size.
Burn To Disc
Saves your slide show on a DVD or Video CD (VCD). DVDs
use MPEG-2 compression and provide much better quality. You can
burn onto DVD only if you have Adobe Premiere Elements on your computer.
VCDs
can be read by most computer CD-ROM and DVD-ROM drives—assuming the
necessary player software is installed—and some DVD players. VCDs
use MPEG-1 compression and have a resolution of 352 x 240 pixels.
When you view a VCD on a television monitor, the 352 x 240 image
stretches to fit the 720 x 480 (NTSC) or 720 x 576 (PAL) screen,
decreasing image quality and magnifying compression artifacts and
pixelization.
Send To TV
Lets you watch your slide show on TV via a Windows Media
Center Edition PC. You need a Windows XP Media Center Edition computer
to use this option.
Send To Premiere Elements
Sends the slide show to Adobe Premiere Elements by way
of the Organizer, if Adobe Premiere Elements is installed on your computer.
