Photo Slideshow on TV

TV Format

Aspect ratio = 16 : 9 = 1.777...
HD = 1 K = 1920 x 1080 = 2'073'600
UHD = 4 K = 3840 x 2160 = 8'294'400
8K-UHD = 8 K = 7680 x 4320 = 33'177'600

Use ImageMagic to resize the photos to the size 1920 x 1080 as described in my post Resize images with Image Magick and Python.

Shotcut

1. Make new project: 1920 25
2. Save as: correct name in correct directory
3. Select Playlist. Select one images in File Explorer and drag it into Playlist. Ensure that this image has the length 5 sec. If not set it to 5 sec and store this value as default.
4. Select all other images in File Explorer and drag them into Playlist. All should have the length 5 sec. Sort Playlist by Name.
5. Select all images in Playlist and run "Add to Slideshow" from the menu below Playlist. Set up: image duration = 5.0 sec, transition = 1.0 sec. The length of the video is 5 + (n - 1) * 4 seconds.
   In general, if the image duration (including transition) is t and the transition time is Δ then the length of the video with n images is t + (n - 1) * (t - Δ) ≈ n * (t - Δ) seconds.
6. After the slideshow has been finished export an mp4-file.
7. Use DVDStyler to create a DVD from the mp4-files.

DVDStyler
