CROSS POSTING:
Not sure where I should post this. I have made several slide shows with music using Proshow Gold. They went out of business. Their software had a nice library of royalty free classical music. I want to update my slide show, but alas, I am having trouble with the software navigating where files are supposed to be, but the program says there are files missing. Not sure if the program became corrupted, or if I screwed up. I was afraid this would happen. Having made a dedicated place to file the completed slide show I was concerned where all the photos and music were stored. The photos were draggd and dropped into a dedicated place as the show was developed, and music downloaded from Proshow's library as I developed the show. I am willing to start from scratch all over again with new software, and make a new up to date slide show. Any recommendations? My show has music, fades, titles and dissolves, but nothing more complicated than that. It is about 30 minutes long. Background: I am an 84 year old amateur involved with serious photography since 1959 when I built my first darkroom. Here is a 4 minute bersion which will give you an idea what I need to do. Thanks all in advance

Hi Dave. Your link doesn't work for me, so I can't comment.
I've had good luck with a video editing program called "Da Vinci Resolve" from Blackmagic Design. It's a big, complex software suite, but you don't have to learn it all in order to make slide shows with it. Once you're happy with the result, you export (render) a video file that is self contained and easily posted to Vimeo or YouTube
Best of all, it's free. Windows, Mac or Linux.
Here's what I did last week while I was learning to use it. 2 minutes.

Thank you Peter. VERY nice slide show. The moving panoramas: are they videos, or a single image that moves? I ended up getting NCH Prostage Slide Show Home edition at $34.99. I have not used it yet.
Here is the proper link to my 4 minute show:
