What is best way to record sideshow

I would think the best way to make a slide show to show on the TV without a computer is to make a 4K video of a Powerpoint Presentation with sound and the timing, transistion for all the image. The video can be store on a thumb drive and play on almost any currently available 4K TV.

A lot of different ideas here. I’ll add my thoughts. I produce an end of season party slide show with video and graphics too, for our Alaskan tourism company. I do it with Boinx Photomagic on a Mac. I usually have about 2000 pictures to work with but the final shows, which run about 25 minutes, use about 350 photo files. These files zoom in and out and enter the field in many different ways. There are often multiple shots on the screen at one time interacting with one another. I put in titles and humor and shots that touch the heart and carefully chosen music for each section. The point here is that without the production and show factor a 350 file sharing of your vacation is likely to put your audience to sleep. If I was just showing individual pictures of my vacation I might show twenty at the right time to the right people. No more. Nothing would ever go to a DVD. Bad quality, not many players around and easy to destroy. Get a good program. Build a show that excites. Render it for a flash drive and share it that way. If you use copyrighted music you can’t post on line.

PowerPoint, saved and exported as an MP4. Create timings in the PowerPoint show and that is how it will be displayed on your TV. Save the MP4 toa DVD or flash drive and put it on the TV.
