iMovie Preferences for Photo Slideshow Video
These are the settings I use (as of December 2019) when making a photo slideshow video—the pictures and music pretty much carry the feel-goodness of the whole presentation.

I wrote mine in the second choice field: Creative Writing. For a year, I managed to trudge through the hallways and classrooms of Velasco. In between…

It was sufficient back then—having thirty–six in the roll. Having a couple or more rolls would take months to expose. Only precious moments were captured…
