Do you know if on the mac, there are any readily available software for slideshow creation etc
I thought idvd or imovie might have it, but doesnt do it as great and its mostly for movies.unless i dont know what im doing.
If you go to youtube, you see some great videos and slideshows, and wondering what software they use.

But was hoping that with apple, it would be easier.

any suggestions?thanks

Not sure if this what you meant, but..

Import the photos you want into iPhoto and make an album with the pictures you want in the slideshow. From the album, click "slideshow" at the bottom. A new slideshow will be created from the album that can be viewed in iPhoto or Front Row. Ken burns effect is automatically added, and you can add music from iTunes if you wish.

Cool
Thanks everyone

I did use a wonderful program called proshow producer on the pc and it was awsome.I emailed the developers to see if would be available for the mac.Heopfully cross my fingers.

I also downloaded pulp motion another slideshow creation software, however, a built in app in mac would be great since it would be seamlessly tied in with other great mac apps already on the osx.
