Things You'll Need:
- Quicktime Pro
-
Step 1
Create a new folder on your desktop. Right-click the desktop and select "New" and then "New Folder," or simply "New Folder." The exact sequence varies depending on the operating system you use and its specific version.
-
Step 2
Drag all of the photos or images that you plan to use for the slideshow into the new folder you created. Rename each image so that the file names are in the numerical order that you want them displayed in the Quicktime slideshow (e.g., 12.gif, 13.gif, 14.gif, etc.).
-
Step 3
Launch Quicktime Pro. Double-click its icon in the Applications folder (on a Mac) or select its name from within the Start menu (on a Windows PC).
-
Step 4
Click "File" in the top menu bar of the Quicktime screen. Select "Open Image Sequence" from the drop-down menu. An options window will display on the screen.
-
Step 5
Navigate to the folder of images that you created in step 1 and 2. Highlight the images and press "Open." A new options window will display.
-
Step 6
Choose how long you want every picture to be displayed in the slideshow. When you are done, press "OK." Then, press "Save" to generate the slideshow. Quicktime Pro will create a movie clip that will show every image in the folder you created.

on 10/25/2009 Step 2 is helpful in many ways. Numbering the photos as you described is a quick way to set the order that they will be sorted and will play. Thanks for this great article.
