How to make a slide show flash box in Bebo

VoteTube has a Bebo page.
The most frequently asked question on there is how to make a slide show, with music, and put it in the flash box.

Ok, there are three steps;

1. Make a slide show. Mostly, people use Powerpoint for this. When you’re finished, you can go to the File Menu, Choose Save As, and then save it as a Movie. (.mov). UPDATE: That’s if you’re using Powerpoint for Apple Mac. If you’re using PowerPoint on a windows xp machine you have to save your slideshow as a normal .ppt file. Then import it into Windows MovieMaker, usually installed for free on Windows XP PCs. Part of the Movie programme will let you choose a track to lay over the pictures. Now save it as a movie file there.

2. Open an account with YouTube and follow their instructions to upload the video.

3. Now add a youtube video to your bebo page:

(a) Go to your profile (this is where all the changes your friends have made to their pages are listed)
(b) Beside your photo, on the top left, you’ll see a link for Add:. One of the options will be video. Click it.
(c) On the page this takes you to, at the bottom, there is an option to select a video from YouTube. All you need to do then is paste in the URL of the video you want.

Job Done.

I’ll try to come back to this and add extra detail if people can’t follow it.
