After went outside and had fun with your family or friends, you must have taken lots of digital photos to keep your memories. It's really a fun to make a flash photo album and share it with others on the Internet. In the following tutorial, I’ll show you how to make a personalized flash photo album in minutes.

Here's what you'll need:

Step 1: Import your photos & add background music.
You can import the photos which are pre-processed before by using some professional Image Processing Tool, say Photoshop, or just import the original photos then process them with the built-in editing tool, which include some basic functions like crop, rotate, filter, etc by double clicking the images on the Story Board. Add a bunch of your favorite music to make your flash photo album more beautiful. Especially, you can add a hyperlink for each photo here. Below are my original photos.

Step 2: Select “Template”.
Choose a favorite template from “template” Tab. Check the box “Include Intro Movie and Credit Movie” to edit the intro/end credits. Want to see more stunning templates, you can visit:

More than 100 transition and pan/zoom effects are available to use for your flash photo album. After set all effects for each images, right click on one photo on the Story Board to set the “Duration Setting”. Set “Picture Duration” as 4.5 sec and “Transition Duration” as 2 sec, and then check the option “Apply all settings to all pictures”.

Step 4: “Decorate” your photo with texts.
Click “New Text” to add texts, select font, size, color, text effect, etc. for your photos. Here I select Font “Eras Light”, Size “22”, Color “Light Orange”, Effect “Fade”.

Step 5: “Publish”.
Modify some “Publish Settings” to make the flash greeting e-cards the best. Click “Publish Settings”, first change the Slideshow Size as the same as your photos’ size then other settings like play control, preloader, you can just leave them if you don’t need to change. Here I select “Square” preloader in “Preloader” Tab. After done these, click “Create SWF Movie” to publish your flash greeting e-cards.

4. Choose a gorgeous preloader for your own. Move to “Publish” Tab, click “Publish Settings”, then click “Preloader” tab and check the box “Enable Preloader”. After that, just select your favorite preloader and click “OK” to save the settings.
