If you are not "moving around in the photo" much,
but just doing a straight slide-show with transitions,
it is much easier to shoot the photos with the video
camera (use the "clip" filter to cover irregular
edges, if you want, if you did not shoot close enough
to miss the edges), and any (or all) photos that need
color/contrast/brightness adjustment can be cut and
filtered easily in the editor. If you scan first,
BMP files work well in the video editor, and these
can be prepared in a good, cheap photo editor like
Micrografx Picture Publisher. When importing the results,
select "maintain aspect ratio" if the files are not 4:3
proportion.
