Inport photos from Google drive?

[Tony B]

Hello –



I have a shared Google drive with 100+ photos that I want to import into my slide show. How do I do that please?



Thanks,

Hi , you need to first copy the photos from the cloud (google drive) onto the local hard-drive on the PC running PhotoVidShow. From here you can then import them into PhotoVidShow. PhotoVidShow can not use photos or video stored in a non local hard-drive location as it needs constant quick access to these files.

Even with an extremely fast fibre internet connection, the cloud will be nowhere near fast enough compared to accessing the files from a local hard-drive.

Hope this of help, let us know how you get on.

Hi Stuart –

OK, so we have figured out how to download pictures from Google drive – thanks!

Now, we are trying to see how the final product will look without previewing it in the application pane. How do we do that?

Thanks,

Hi , depends on what you want to create.

If you want to create a DVD or Video file, you could follow the steps from the quick start guide.

Create a .MP4 video file slideshow

Hi Stuart –

I poked around a little bit and figured it out. What threw me was the icon said “Create Video”. I was looking for something that said something like “Publish Slide Show”. Anyway, we are all good.

Thanks,

Ok, glad you got things working.
