I've tried PhotoStory3, and the quality is crap, even before it was uploaded
to Youtube. I'm trying to create a picture slideshow that i can embed into a
webpage. That's why I need to use Youtube or similar video hosting site.
I know Youtube will reduce the quality of a video after it's uploaded, but
I've seen slideshows on Youtube before where the still shots are crisp and
clear. Those people must be using different software I guess.
