I have 750 images in a folder on my Desktop.
How can I create a slideshow without going through Photos
Is this even possible?
With each image displayed ~ 5 seconds
With/without music?
Burn them to DVD disc?
Of course it's possible, but you'll need *some* application to do the job.
iMovie is on every Mac sold. Others, in order of price:
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $99
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.
