Problem is my movie menu doesn’t show up but I can say the quality is pretty good. So that’s when I decided maybe I should purchase thumb drives and put the video on there for everyone. Also due to the size of my slideshow and if I select the high quality, I would really need a disc to hold around 15BGB. I’m sure most of the classmates will want a copy so I thought DVD might be the way to go, but quality isn’t very good, even with the old and new pictures. I did try saving the file to AVCHD as an ISO image on my external drive (with the idea that I would forget about using DVD’s and buy thumb drives for everyone) and then the quality would be much better. I knew I couldn’t burn to a blu ray as many people do not have blu ray players. I was bothered that my only selection for burning to a DVD on an 8.5 GB was low resolutions (720x576 or 720x480).

I first purchased printable dual layer DVD so I could print a title on the the DVD. Now was the time to figure out what and how I show create the slideshow. Then I selected the movie menu template that I liked and made sure everything was where I had selected the scene selections to be based on my menu markers, and they look good. Created markers where I wanted the menu markers to be located. Then I imported everything into Premiere Elements (Expert) and organized them in the timeline. All my photos have been created or edited in Photoshop, and all saved as a png format. I created a slideshow for my 50th Class Reunion. I’m using Adobe Photoshop and Premiere Elements version 15.
