Create slideshow for YouTube?

[LaurasLastDitch]

I'd like to create a slideshow of one of my products for YouTube, but I don't want to download anything. I Googled and just came upon a sea of downloads. Anyone know of some way to do this free?

Thanks for any help!

What kinda computer do you have? On a mac you can make a slideshow with Keynote... for PC I would use powerpoint (but I think you might have to buy that)

I used Keynote and iMovie to make this video on setting up a small product shot with natural light: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vKOhkBXCvs

Hope that helps a little.

Hi Laura,
You can download OpenOffice.org. They're Impress application is similar to PowerPoint. The whole suite is a free alternative to Microsoft. Also, if you're a Microsoft Fan, download PowerPoint for free trial or purchase really cheap online - like student price cheap.

I'm not sure if you have to download this... It seems like the offer an online service that can export to Youtube... might be worth looking into

Thanks! Still trying to find a non-download. I can't afford to put much else on my computer!

Duh! I just figured out I could do it on Windows Movie Maker (which I've never used before).

Here's the video, in all its splendor and glory, or lack thereof:
