I put together a slideshow of approximately 300 slides in Photoshop Elements 5 and i wanted to add some clips and put the thing out to dvd. I used 'send to elements premiere' (3)
the first problem i hit was using the break apart command to separate the slides so that i could add clips between scenes and change transitions. However. doing this used up all of 90% of physical memory (2gb) and the thing ground to a halt. it was ok with about 100 slides but this was no good to me.
i, therefore, reluctantly gave this method up and produced a wmv file of the slideswhich i opened in premiere. it didn't allow me to break this into scenes so i used the timeline to insert clips etc.
next problem was writing out to dvd. after the first stage of encoding taking 4 hours or so, the program seemed to go into a loop for hours until i cancelled it. it did this whether i burned to disk or to folder. and i tried it on 2 machines (1 vista and 1 xp). in all cases it didn't produce the dvd or folder
any help would be appreciated
