I would like to start doing photo slide shows set to music and figured Windows Movie Maker would serve the purpose. I haven't messed around too much with it yet, but so far I've figured out how to import music into the timeline, but my question is when I'm importing pics, do they need to be the full high-res versions, or like the size I post here on the forum (640x480)? I would imagine importing all those high res pics would make the movie file size gignormous.

Any other pointers anyone can think of to help me out with this program? I know its simple compared to the things you techies get up to, but I'm not quite up to your levels yet

Thanks guys
