How to Make Christmas Memory DVD Photo Album with PowerPoint

You must have taken a lot of photos on Christmas! Leave them at random on your computer? No, you'd be wiser to get these merry memories well organized. Managing the Christmas photos in polish DVD is a no brainer so long as you have Microsoft PowerPoint plus an extra conversion app like Moyea PPT to DVD Burner. PowerPoint has the Photo Album feature that allows you to add in as many holiday photos as you like and arrange them in order. The PowerPoint to DVD Burner empowers you to burn the Christmas digital album to DVD for your easy sharing with family and friends on home TV.

PowerPoint from Version 2000 to 2007 shares the feature of saving your photos as an album. Now I would give you a step-by-step guide of creating an awesome Christmas DVD photo album with PowerPoint 2007.

Step 1: Add photos for the Christmas PowerPoint album

Right-click to create a new PowerPoint file. Rename it as necessary. On the Insert menu, point to Picture, and then click Photo Album.

Click on the 'File/Disk…' option and locate the photos on your computer. You can add multiple pictures at one time. It is strongly recommended that you optimize the pictures in Photoshop/Gimp before insertion. For example, compress photos of high but unnecessary resolution at 3 million to a lower resolution at 800x600. This will help reduce the size of your PowerPoint photo album.

Step 2: Choose an album layout for the Christmas slideshow

In the Album Layout section, choose a layout for your holiday photos on each slide. You can also adjust the sequence of the pictures with the up and down arrow keys below the Preview pane, rotate the pictures, or reset the brightness and saturation. A layout preview is shown on the right side of the dialog box.

To change the theme of the current template, click the Browse button. Locate the template in the 'Choose Design Template box' that allows you to navigate to the folder where the downloaded templates are stored. Choose any of the three templates.

Next, click on 'Create' button. Done. Your Christmas PowerPoint photo album is created!

Step 3: Burn the Christmas PowerPoint album to DVD

One more step - To finalize your Christmas memory photo album in DVD. You know, PowerPoint is not friendly to email or x-platform playback. Burning your cherished holiday photos to DVD will make it an ease for distant distribution and perfect playback on any PC, even at a big-screen TV.

For cheap and cute conversion, you can use PowerPoint to DVD Burner from Moyea Software. If you don 't bother to trouble, you can make it a regular video, with screen-recording software like Camstudio which can save the Christmas video in AVI format. Then burn the video to DVD using Nero/Roxio.

Several Additional Tips:

• Choose different layouts for different pictures. Big landscape pictures deserve a whole slide, while other pictures may share a single slide.
• Beautiful PowerPoint templates can make your Christmas photo album shining.
• Add exact text titles and descriptions, since photos cannot convey every meaning.
• Take care of the disc which stores your Christmas DVD photo album.

Extra DVD Slideshow Makes Exclusive Office Christmas Party

A company annual album of thanks, made in PowerPoint, burnt to portable DVD, accompanied to your Christmas office party on a big TV, lightens up the staff with the best memories of the past working year as well as the fresh hope into the future.

Christmas party is a must to hold for any company. A company party at grand Christmas, saying thanks to your hardworking staff, sharing delicious food and activities, and encouraging higher team spirit in the coming New Year, is but a wise way to knot every part of the company with further communication. Casual as it is, your corporate Christmas party, traditionally filled with festive food, drink and music, can be integrated with a not so casual PowerPoint DVD presentation/album - a digital slideshow of reflection and reconciliation for the company in the past year. As a boss or manager, you are not to make a party merely to please the employees. You should make a corporate presentation to pilot them to your company culture, the core power that combines everyone in the company. Meanwhile, diligent employees want to hear your comments on the annual operation of the company, as well as compliments on their work performance, which requires you an extra presentation to explain. A compelling PowerPoint presentation, burned in DVD and played at the beginning of the party, will effectively enhance your office gathering at Christmas. With Moyea PowerPoint to DVD Burner, you can easily make a DVD slideshow for your company Christmas Party. The next question is,

How to Make a DVD Slideshow for Your Office Christmas Party?

In a nutshell, it is how to make a PowerPoint presentation on company celebration and convert it to DVD for TV playback. You may be PowerPoint savvy to make that. Even if you have never made such a DVD slideshow for Christmas party before, you can get started quickly with these tips - 2 on PowerPoint authoring and 2 on DVD producing.

For Christmas PowerPoint presentation

It goes with the same as any other presentation creation. You create different styles of slides, choose a PowerPoint template, insert pictures, enter text, adjust transitions, arrange all the elements according to rehearsal, and etc. In addition, you can pay an extra attention to the following 2 tips:

Tip 1 Combine Christmas symbols with your company.

It is a Christmas party, and your company's! It is necessary to weave the two into each other. For example, you can make a unique "Christmas tree" writing on each light a name and an avatar of a colleague, an Honor Tree stringing the company's top contributors, or a Christmas Wish Tree for every department of your company. Activate the Christmas tree with funny animations, wipes in PowerPoint. You staff will be glad to watch a DVD slideshow with their act. Just free your imagination for it!

Tip 2 Add in mood music, flash or movie montage.

You don't want the Christmas DVD a silent show? Then consider some dynamic ingredients - merry Christmas music, crisp flash or movie montage of the company. If you have a confident voice, record your own narration for the party slideshow. For details of adding the media elements, see in how to insert a sound to PowerPoint, how to add a SWF file to PowerPoint and how to insert a movie to PowerPoint

For Converting Xmas PowerPoint to DVD

With Moyea PPT to DVD Converter, it becomes a one-go job to create a polish Xmas party DVD from your company PowerPoint. Refer to related tutorial on how to burn your Christmas PowerPoint onto a DVD. When using in the program, before a click on Start, you can also make advanced settings for your party DVD slideshow. Here are another 2 tips.

Tip 3 Logo the DVD slideshow with your company trademark

Take full use of the Logo feature in the converter. Add in your company trademark, adjust it to a corner, and apply it to all slides. A subtle logo is excellent to indicate the copyright of your party DVD and brand you company.

Tip 4 Frame the party DVD with Xmas-themed menu

Also, never forget to single out a Christmas menu for your party DVD. In the PPT to DVD burner, under the Menu tab, from the Holiday theme, choose a Christmas template as outskirt of your party DVD slideshow. Later, you and your party staff can watch the Office Christmas DVD via a remote control. Not only does PowerPoint bring ease to your office business, but also it adds extra fun to your Christmas party with the help of PPT to DVD technology. Take Christmas party as a big chance to get closer to your staff, and give them a unique Christmas gift - a stunning DVD slideshow of your company!

Teach Kids Christmas Symbols with PowerPoint

Kids get thrilled with the coming December 25. It's big Christmas! Santa Clause, advent wreath, magic chimney, decorated trees, jingle bells, and inviting gifts from a long stocking that appeals! Children love all things Christmas.

But how much do they know about Christmas and its history? At the festive time, some curious kids may ask, "Mom, where is Santa Claus from?", or "Dad, who is Mary?" Intelligent parents are always there to answer such questions. Highly responsible dads and moms, however, would also plan a lesson on Christmas symbols in paper or PowerPoint as well as gift shopping for the kids, to teach them to remember - remember the glorious holiday of Christmas. After all, it is not wise that your kids art enjoying the Christmas holiday without a sense of its origin.

The Benefits

For kids living in an era of media technology, it seems to be sensible to take PowerPoint to teach them. PowerPoint allows you to add in many colorful and dynamic elements like pictures, animations, sounds and video clips to support your Christmas story.

Compared with plain text or oral narration, the audio-visual teaching method is more effective in conveying the full message to young kids. That is because on the one hand, text or oral teaching alone cannot express exactly what a Christmas symbol means, while text with illustration and sound can quickly cast a vivid image structure of the symbol in kids' mind. On the other hand, curious children would not stand a minute for a dull lesson with text only, but they can be engaged in your story provided the text being accompanied by color and dynamic, which can be easily done with PowerPoint.

The Tracks

Now you are aware of the benefits of PowerPoint teaching, you must wonder, "How to make such a course presentation on Christmas symbols? Are there any tips I can follow for the course creation?" Generally, there is no set rule for making a course presentation since every instructor has his own style that makes a difference. If you are green to PowerPoint, read on these presentation tips for a minute, shown as below:

How to create an effective presentation

Personally, I love to share with you a step-by-step approach to making a Christmas Symbol presentation.

1. Set up the layout
Create a PowerPoint presentation and rename it as you like, e.g. "Christmas Symbols". Specify the title slide and the content ones. Pick up a Christmas PowerPoint template that suits. Click here to download a free stunning PowerPoint template for Christmas. To vary the slides with different backgrounds, browse in Free Christmas PowerPoint Backgrounds Red, Blue and White.

2. Sift out useful content
Draft the story of Christmas symbols in Word. Remember to enable the spelling-checker to avoid a vocabulary error. Google for some free images for each symbol and edit them with Photoshop or else tool. Single out a soft sound track, or even a video clip, to vivify the Christmas presentation. From all the resources related, sort out those that best fit your presentation.

3. Organize the elements
Once all the specified stuff is imported to PowerPoint, arrange them in a logical look. You can consider using a chart to make a comparison of two or more symbols. Don't have too much text within one slide. 3-one is good, i.e. one image for one symbol, and one slide with one image. Minimize the sound icon if you don't want it to appear during slideshow. Also, adjust the frame of your inserted video until it runs perfect.

4. Don't forget Animations
Kids like lively things. So make best use of PowerPoint key features like animations, transitions, and even SmartArt. Meanwhile, remember the saying, "Too much good makes a thing bad". Use the dynamic effects in a moderate way.

5. Save it in Safe
After final rehearsal, it's time to save the presentation to storage. Oops! You don't have a home projector to show it to the kids! Got a TV and a DVD player? That's enough. You can burn the presentation of Christmas Symbols onto a DVD that can playback on a home TV, with an affordable converter like Moyea PPT to DVD Burner (3 Editions as the Pro, the Lite and the Edu). Click here to learn how to burn a Christmas PPT presentation to DVD

One Christmas Eve, after dinner, sitting with the kid(s) at TV, you can remote control the PowerPoint DVD and teach Christmas Symbols and their significance. Let your kids learn and enjoy the holiday.

3. Choose Another Chart for Extended Family

If you are going to make a big family tree with stem chart and subordinate charts, you can create new slides for every sibling's family. Perform the previous steps to extend the family line.
