Nice work jPV!!

Any chance in future versions of exporting the slideshow as an executable file?
Adding background music with MOD and/or MP3 files.

Thanks tFt!

Creating executables isn't possible, or at least highly unlikely, I guess you should consider using Hollywood Designer for that kind of results with music and everything. But you can still auto-launch slideshows by giving an RNOSlides project file as a command-line argument for the program.

I've had the background music option in mind, but it would get a bit hacky to get it on videos currently, and especially to convert modules to some format that could be inserted in a video. After all, the main purpose of the program was to create slideshow videos to be uploaded on YouTube etc, and the viewing part was just for previewing how the video would look like.

But otherwise I could add the music option when viewing slideshows... the only problem would be that users might expect that the audio will be in the videos too then... I'll think about it in the future versions. But for now, you could launch a slideshow and music with an external program from a shell script or so

As an external programme on a PC you can use VirtualDub (Free), you can add audio without editing or converting the video (Direct Stream Copy), adding audio takes only a few seconds.

I was really amazed that Virtualdub loads anims so have been loading anims and adding Amiga mp3s to them

With VirtualDub you can also replace or delete audio in seconds.

In addition to (Direct Stream Copy), which does not re-encode the video, you can also convert to various video formats.

Moreover, if you install the PlugIn Pack, Filter Pack or Virtualdub AIO many other video formats are supported.
