Slideshow app?

[Jersey]

hey guys
I’m looking for some recommendations for a good slideshow app.
I’m looking for one where I can record my own music to add.
Thanks

I use the slideshow module of Adobe Lightroom. Allows me to do lots of customizations. music, titles, transitions, etc. and even will host webpages for you to display online.

If you’re putting it together on an iPad, I would just use the Photos app. You could create your own music using the GarageBand app and then add it to your slideshow.

Feel free to PM me if you have specific questions I can help with. Good luck with the show!

And for showing those iPad photos or slideshows on a big screen TV, you can use one of these adapters:

I purchased the genuine Apple product, which costs around US$49, and I can vouch for its performance, but you can save a few dollars/euros by buying a knock-off from Amazon or local big box electronics stores. Some even have an integrated HDMI cable.

There are similar adapters for lightning-to-VGA for use with TVs that don't have HDMI ports or possibly for projectors, but I have no experience with them.

For watching on TV I hook my iPad up to my receiver via HDMI.
Works well enough but there’s a glitch where like every 15 minutes the TV ( on its own ) will switch to another HDMI port. I have a pretty sophisticated setup running my cable, DVR and Amazon Firestick thru my receiver but this has me baffled.

Thanks so much. Had no idea I had that option. Always thought I had to use iMovie to create a slideshow. Now I just have to figure out how to record music to Garage and get it into the slideshow
