The software and methods presented here also work on Windows 7 / 10 (64bit) and may also work on Vista / Windows 8 (however I have no interest in testing with either, sorry)
Photostory for windows 8 full#
To prepare material for a full length DVD, you will need at least 20Gb of free hard disk space. Note - to use PhotoStory, you need a Windows XP (sp3) PC with at least a 2GHz CPU & 2Gb RAM (Windows 7 (64), 4 core, 12Gb recommended, will also work on a Windows 10 PC). Unlike more 'modern' packages, PhotoStory supports original photos up to 52 megaPixels (7200x7200) and provides a really simple and easy to use GUI that allows totally flexible user controlled panning and zooming. Whilst the default aspect ratio is 4:3 you can create 16:9 'widescreen' movies (or even HD !) by pre-distorting your photo's before generating the output. It is even possible to add simple text 'titles'.

PhotoStory has the ability to generate it's own 'generic' music or you can add you own tracks. MS PhotoStory allows you to take a collection of your photo's and create a 'movie' by panning, scrolling and zooming from one photo to the next.
