I want to email short video clip slide shows. A message states they are to big to be sent .The 4 clips are approx 20 seconds each and are AVI format.They have 21mb size each .They are to large for Emailing. However I receive emails in wmp format all the time ( for example 5 minute duration and 4.8 mb size) which play very well with Media player.
How do I get the size of Pixplay slide shows smaller

Hi

WMV is not an available output option, but if you select File > Burn Slideshow and choose the video file option then there are other formats available that are smaller and you can also choose smaller video sizes.

OK . Having carried out your instructions plus decreasing video size from 362*240 to 181*120 I got the 1 minute 20 sec slide show down to 9.5 mb.
This is still big but an improvement and sendable.
Further improvements , down to 950 KB, were obtained by transfering complete slide show into Windows movie maker which converted file into WMP format.
This allows me to send larger slide shows by email but I suspect there are better ways. Your comments please.

Hi Terry

The other way to reduce the size of videos is avoiding using motion and transition effects.
