Usually I do this through Microsoft PowerPoint, add animation to the target picture and/or text, and slide transition effects, then convert the whole PPT to screensaver by FlashPoint Pro. It's the easiest way I found, hope it helps.
I'm lookingg for a good program to make animated screensavers, like the kind with fish swimming in an aquarium. Does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks.
