Hey all.

 I need a program to rec the pc desktop with. More accurate, I want to do a \"slideshow\" of a few pictures (with some effects between the pics would be nice), and if possible to add a song on the background. If you don\'t know about one, at least one which can rec the desktop would be ok.

 I\'m making a short \"movie\" with every person in our class, and it would be interesting to make something nice.

 Err, yep, I need it fast. This means today.

 Thanks,
 Annah.

 PS - Doesn\'t matter if the program is freeware or it costs.

If you can find a Mac anywhere nearby, that sort of stuff is built-in and easy to use as well. If not, I\'d check out http://www.versiontracker.com and http://www.download.com . Good luck!

So you wanna \"record\" whats happening on your desktop...I always use Hypercam for that .

And for adding cool effects to your video try Studio 9 .

OOo Impress?

I would certainly recommend OpenOffice Impress.  free and works great, I\'ve used it a few times in presentations.

Download the windows (or what ever you\'re on) version, and there should be this one program, \"presentation\", which is used to create slideshows.

Even if you find a better program, still download openoffice, it\'s a free and more powerful alternative to M$ Office.
