Overview
A shooting has been reported at a high school in Cleveland, Ohio. You’ve been asked to put together a slideshow of wire photos comingin from the scene. You have more photos than you need, so you’ll need to edit your showdown to the 10 best shots. You will use a program called “SoundSlides” to create your slideshow.
About SoundSlides
SoundSlides is a “rapid production” tool for creating audio slideshows.It can combine an audio track and photos (jpg format only) into a Flashslideshow without you having to know anything about Flash, HTML orany other web coding.What SoundSlides can’t do: Edit photos or audio. Any materials thatyou use in SoundSlides must already be edited. Photos must becorrected for color, contrasts, etc in a program like Photoshop.However, you DO NOT have to resize your images. SoundSlides willresize them to the correct size for your slideshow. Your audio track must be edited to the proper length in a program suchas Adobe Audition or Audacity. Note: The length of your slideshow is
 
determined by the length of your audio file! If your audio track is 1minute, your slideshow will run 1 minute. Tip: It’s best if you place all of your edited photos into one folder andyour audio file into another folder. This will make it easier when youimport your files into SoundSlides.
