Picture To Video Converter

Multimedia has become an important part of our daily routines, especially with the Internet encouraging us to play one more video or song before attending other activities. What’s more, specialized applications like Picture To Video Converter allow anyone to easily create videos using a bunch of photos and accompanying audio.

Once launched, the main window shows up with its custom-made design that wants to make sure beginners and experienced individuals alike quickly get the hang of things. Two separate sections let you view imported pictures and audio files, with an additional preview window for the overall project.

Unfortunately, drag and drop is not supported, which means you have to rely on the built-in browse dialogs to select pictures and audio files. However, supported formats help you overlook this minor inconvenience, letting you work with files like JPG, BMP, GIF, and TGA, as well as WAV, MP3, WMA, MPA, MP2, AU, AIF, AIFF, and SND for audio.

It’s a good idea to pay a visit to the options panel in order to configure output settings. The resulting video can come as WMV, AVI, MKV, and ASF, with several fields to set bitrate for audio and video layers. There’s the possibility to customize output resolution, and change the destination folder.

Although there aren’t any effects to add, the application doesn’t make sudden transitions from one frame to the other. It comes with a decent set of transition effects, you can either choose in a custom sequence, the same for all, or a random one each time. Additional numerical value fields let you specify how long an image stays on screen, as well as the length of the transition effect.

You’re free to add more audio files to accompany the video layer, but if any editing needs to be done, it’s only possible through other resources. A built-in preview area lets you take a look at the slideshow before conversion, which can last some time if you want to squeeze a lot of quality from the video.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Picture To Video Converter is a lightweight tool with which you can build video slideshows from a variety of different pictures, while also adding an audio layer for a better overall impression. Transitions can be configured, as well as related time values. Although there’s little editing involved, it comes in handy for building quick presentations.
