Do you have Photoshop or a similar program? If so, create a canvas tha
is 720 x 480 then make a layer for your backgrounds. Add your pictur
to a higher layer saving each as a new .jpg. Drop them into MM and ad
music. I've done a lot of these types of "videos" for wedding albums
graduation and so forth. Size your pics to be no more than 500 wid
(landscape pics) or 420 high (portrait) so that your backgrounds wil
still be visible. It looks pretty good to add a drop shadow to th
pics as well.
One tip, don't waste your time scanning pics at high resolution, 72
150 dpi is fine for standard TV .
