IF you use those programs the order is very changeable WITHIN the program
no
need to rename or re-order the files before im****ting them
each photo will be it's own frame
you can manipulate each one and the order by dragging the frames, and
change
transitions, add titles, music, narration, etc
here is an example of a vid I made from pictures from JJ's party
ex****ted to DVD I have played in on a TV in the DVD machine
LINK
when I upload it, to Photobucket changes the format so it looks a bit
ugly
in compression, on the TV no compression
