Has anybody figured out AutoMovie?

No matter what I do, AutoMovie takes my collection and just put the order of
photos in the way it wants to. I end up with some subset of the 104 .jpg's
in the collection. Doesn't matter if I have audio or not. Tried creating
an audio file out of 3 songs saved together as a WMA file. This got me over
the apparent limit of 3 minutes, but still dropped a number of photos from
the collection.

What I want to know is, has anybody created an AutoMovie with WMM 2.0 using
100+ photos and a soundtrack. Or, if it doesn't work, then is there a way
to have random transitions put in?

Thanks,
 
Not random transitions but you can apply one transition to multiple
slides/clips easily.

In the Storyboard view:

* add a bunch of slides/clips to storyboard by selecting them in Collections
area and selecting Add to storyboard from the right clik context menu

* select the small transition boxes (between the slides) you want to apply
transitions to noting that clicking on the first transition box and then
shift-clicking on the last transition box would select all from first to the
last and ctrl-click would add/remove individual boxes to the selection at a
time

* Go to transitions and press right clik on the transition you want to
apply. Select add to storyboard

Hope this helps.
 
Rehan,

Thank you. But I really want random transitions. I thought automovie would
be perfect, but it just doesn't work. I have tried with and without music,
to no avail. Say I have 100 jpeg's. Say they are named file001...file100.
I end up with file003-->file010-->file011-->file015. There is no pattern to
which files it picks, but it is consistent per collection of photo's. I
tried it with a music file, 2 music files, 3 music files, and no music
files, same thing. All I want to do is create slideshow with random
transitions and music that I can then burn to a VCD.
