I need to make a slideshow, using still pictures that I've scanned, and set it to music, a song I've only found on YouTube. I have no software to do this, and don't want to downlaod any programs that are going to watermark my video. This is for my mom so it's important. She was recently diagnosed with a lung condition and is afraid. My sisters and I want to do this for her to the song Warrier is a Child by Twila Paris. I have Picasa and Irfanview as my photo software, and nothing else. I know powerpoint files can't be uploaded to YouTube. I have three small kids at home and don't have a lot of time to do this. Is there an easy way to do this? Please help me. Thanks.

God bless,
Heather

YouTube will only accept video clips that are avi, mp4, wmv, mpeg formats, this means you will need to convert the PowerPoint presentation before you upload it to YouTube.

There are a number of tools that will allow you to convert the PowerPoint here are a bunch - PowerPoint to Video (http://www.powerpoint-resources.com/powerpoint-to-video.htm)

These tools will allow you to convert PowerPoint presentation to video formats, including avi, mpeg, 3gp, mp4, wmv, mov, etc.

You can use this FREE PPT2YouTube tool to convert your PowerPoint to MP4 video first, and then upload the video to YouTube with your account:

Hope it can help.

If you make a slideshow by PowerPoint, I think you can add music from YouTube with recording the song.
Then you can convert your PowerPoint to video and then upload to YouTube.
I recommend Wondershare PowerPoint to Video (http://www.sameshow.com/powerpoint-to-video.html#155) converter for this conversion.
It retains all features in the original PowerPoint.

Hope it helps@!
