You can make video-album with images not continuing as travel snapshots. The images are

In Import Options window, input 1 (frame / sec) into Frame rate column and 50 (seconds)
into Sec: column. (See step 3.)
The memory size becomes minimum by inputing 1 into Frame rate column.
Video duration is whole displaying duration. 10 (images) × 5 (seconds) = 50 (seconds)

• Animation for Internet
In many cases, animation on Internet web is set to 160 × 120 for video dimensions and 15
for frame rate. By using Video Navigator, you can capture and save the suitable images by
setting preferences for Capture (interval: 2 frames) and preferences for Save Image (160 ×

120).
In detail, refer to INSTRUCTIONS book in same pack.
For 99 images, you had better set Video duration in Import Options window to 6 seconds
9 frames. (15 images is equal to 1 second.) If it is set to longer duration, the animation
movie becomes slower.
